“zykowarfare eYe/FS” by elmoyenique

Very stressful assembly of bricks, I thought I would not finish it on time. Uff! Some glyphs are still expecting to be included in the font. WIP, and kerning.

“Phoenix” by Patrick H. Lauke (redux)

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:49:09 +0000

This pixel font recreation is a combination of the font used in Centuri's "Phoenix" (1980, developed by Amstar) its follow-up "Pleiads" (1981, by Tehkan aka Tecmo) and SNK's "Safari Rally" (1979, NOT distributed by Centuri, raising some questions about the true origin of this font). Only the characters present in the tile sets of the games have been included.

“Robot Raid” by vertigokid

This one was a long time in the works. If you liked Knutz and Boltz you'll really dig this one. Probably no numbers or extra characters to come I'm afraid. The caps were a ton of work alone. Enjoy.

Another possible usage I saw with a fin brick. Clone and play with this :). Thanks and Enjoy!

“Nova Thin Extended” by laynecom

Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:05:57 +0000

This one has been called Nova. That is simply due to the fact that the letters A, N, O, and V were the first that I tried out when starting this typeface.

“Uptake” by aphoria

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 19:41:18 +0000

Special thanks to thalamic for reviewing and giving me suggestions for improvements. A modernish sans on a fairly small grid. The x-height is 7 grid squares, the cap height is 9 grid squares, and the ascenders & descenders on the lowercase go to 10 grid squares. All natural curves, mainly using the macaroni bricks.

“fs no kerning required” by thalamic

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:15:04 +0000

The idea came from the Unify game on the iOS and the availability of the arc bricks. The rest happened on its own. I was just the vessel. I don't know where else to go with it at the moment.

“Pixels Redefined” by Agent Demonic Ladybug

Sat, 21 May 2011 01:30:43 +0000

Redesigning the pixel font. Built on a 50x30 grid, this masterpiece is a pixel font that is decomposing. Enjoy! Each "pixel" is 10 by 10 grid squares. The idea was from "Metropolis" by ackfla.

a 2x1 grid font. average contrast. Steem with oblique top

“Ohm Run Slab” by William Leverette (will.i.ૐ)

Sat, 09 Apr 2011 06:18:09 +0000

Here, the innovative approach I took to stroke contrast in iSlab takes a radical leap forward. The result: a technical, friendly, modern slab serif design demonstrating further potential of the stackable composite function.

Please enjoy a private clone to see how I dealt with contrast, curves, bracketing, variable letter width and the difficult-to-achieve emboldening of the capitals’ vertical strokes within a minimal fontstruct matrix (and If you like what you see, please download for personal usage and vote kindly! :)

Intaglio’s amazing recent work makes similar strides (see the excellent rounds, for example), offering a solution before me to several of these long-standing impasses of the medium.

More characters to come... :)

“Motternal” by geneus1

Sat, 01 Jan 2011 03:27:58 +0000

A tribute to Othmar Motter, 1927-2010. A fontstructed lowercase version of his iconic Motter Tektura. 061515. ha. Demonics was right.

Font is self-descriptive. Guess if I did the UC or LC first!! :D Yes this is the font I have been working on for such a long time...

x-height: 70px
cap height: 94px
optical correction: 1px

“RM Ameslan (ASL) Fingerspell” by p2pnut

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:45:13 +0000

ASL is not a written language, but this font should, hopefully, assist anyone wishing to learn ASL. The following is a quote from Wikipedia: "American Sign Language (or ASL, Ameslan) is the dominant sign language of the Deaf community in the United States, in the English-speaking parts of Canada, and in some regions of Mexico. Although the United Kingdom and the United States share English as a spoken and written language, British Sign Language (BSL) is quite different from ASL, and the two sign languages are not mutually intelligible ASL is often written with English words in all capital letters, which is known as glossing. This is, however, a method used simply to teach the structure of the language. ASL is a visual language, not a written language. There is no one-to-one correspondence between words in ASL and English, and much of the inflectional modulation of ASL signs is lost. There are two true writing systems in use for ASL: a phonemic Stokoe notation, which has a separate symbol or diacritic mark for every phonemic hand shape, motion, and position (though it leaves something to be desired in the representation of facial expression), and a more popular iconic system called SignWriting, which represents each sign with a rather abstract illustration of its salient features. SignWriting is commonly used for student newsletters and similar purposes." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sign_Language

“The Video Arcade Game Font” by Goatmeal

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:07:51 +0000

The ubiquitous video game font standard, likely designed by Lyle Rains of Atari; first used in 1976's "Sprint 2" by Atari, and then on until well into the 1990s. Used by most video arcade game companies, including (but not limited to): Namco, Williams Electronics, Irem, Atari, Konami, Bally-Midway, Taito, Nintendo and Sega. The lower case characters are from several Atari video arcade games from 1984-1987. Plenty of alternate characters -- variations used in conjunction with the standard font, all selected from a variety of MAME32 game roms.

“iCollect.it®️” by hal9000lives

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:14:07 +0000

iCollect.it®️ is a barcode (and text) version of the "Code 39 Barcode Specification" which can be read by most modern barcode scanners. I added lowercase characters for more readable labels even though they scan as uppercase. *Notes: Use an underscore instead of a space (as space characters are always blank in a fontstruct). Place an asterisk before and after your string for it to be recognised by barcode readers. Additionally, bracket pairs can be used for more stylish ends for labels etc: () [] <> See the examples. Happy scanning! As of Dec 2022, iCollect.it is a registered trademark of iCollect.it Ltd (UK).
