Another font based on Apple's old ImageWriter II printer. This variation of the font originally followed a strict "dot matrix" pixel layout -- none of the dots nestle into a triangle shape.
--------
2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a but in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example.

Here is another font coming from the Imagewriter II printer to your hard drive's font folder. This font is based on the printer's built-in proportional character set.
As was the case with my previous IMGwriter fonts, this includes characters (such as accented capitals and Greek characters) that are not originally part of the printer's default character sets.
UPDATES:
* 2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a bug in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example.
* 2013.05.27: Greatly extended the character set.

Synchronous with thalamic'sFS Twist, but inspired by the earlier works of minimum, like fs Mingle Co and fs Blit Hack.
Interblok Stroke has a centerline gradient glow.
Interblok Cylindrome has a 3D gradient shade to add dimension to it.

Inspired by the "M" and horizontal "V" behind Yori in the 1982 movie "TRON" (0:58:08-0:58:54); shares similarities to Ray Larabie's "Para Aminobenzoic" font with just a hint of "Otto Mason SH"

A variant on my ImgWriter font. This time, the characters are white on a black background.
--------
2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a but in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example. I also altered the "A with Ring Above" characters to look more consistent with the original version of the font.
2013.07.16: Slightly changed the appears of the 5 character in the superscript, subscript, and numberform characters.
Update: As was the case with the black-on-white version of this font, the character sets have been expanded. Unfortunately, while this does have superscript and subscript numbers, the fraction slash character wouldn't work as a zero-width character without mucking up any subscript and superscript characters.

This font is based on one of the fonts used by the Apple ImageWriter II dot-matrix printer.
Included with this font are the basic Greek alphabet and the Japanese Katakana lettering.

Last updated: 2013.05.04... This font was taken down briefly mainly so I could bolster the font by adding several new glyphs -- including superscript and subscript numbers, fractions, and even some image images that you'd expect to see on your computer screen.

Fresh baked. [Not inspired by Nike®]
Each character is max. 32 grid blocks tall. However, the total height of the fontstruction exceeds that. Couldn't be helped; the curves just make it so. Maybe that disqualifies it from the competition, which is OK, but the design had to take precedence over the rules.
This fs has been in the works for a while and was not specifically begun for the handmadecomp. It started off quite crude...and evolved into the baroque-ness over time. With all the shape possibilities, it may never be 'done' done.

Triline + Relief = Trelief.
This one was just waiting for a 2.0 update. Originally worked out in March of last year, synchronously with minimum's fs m.ove.r series, and Lex Kominek's Chocobot Stacked series of tri-line fontstructions.
I was unsatisfied with the limited 1.0 curvatures in Trelief, so this was left unreleased. The Trelief series has recently been updated with additional FS2.0 composites for a smoother appearance.
The hard edged version of Trelief came easily afterward.

Font from Betrayal At Krondor, (C) 1993 Dynamix / Sierra On-Line. Italicized version of the bitmap typeface that starts and ends most chapters in the greatest computer RPG of all time, "Betrayal At Krondor". 100% accurate, thanks to Flowswitch at the xBAK forum, although kerning may be off slightly. Based on the "Naples" font from EA's 'Deluxe Paint II Enhanced'.

Simple yet highly effective: Ten Gradient Patterns only using the 5 square/block bricks that I am utilizing for my next super-secret/top-secret project.
The patterns repeat in lowercase so that it will be "search-able" in FontStruct (>=11 characters).
Try moving the viewer slider one or two notches to the right of PXL size view for "best" observation; however, the viewer doesn't quite do the darker patterns justice, so see comments for a better explanation as to how they were created and how you can recreate them for your own font(s).

inspired by Redonda and the other excellent fonts that have been done in this style. this is my first dot font. i searched to see if there were any italics and didn't find any; but they may be hiding here somewhere. started with lc just to see if i could do a basic set. then went for the uc and decided to make it a little more fancy or lyrical, if you will. then one thing led to another and i can't believe i did the whole basic latin :) i thought about waiting to release it, but changed my mind. this was fun and allows for the visualization of curves which really can't be done in FS. but still, i guess it's not like the real thing. oh, well :)

My update of Astra, a Letraset font designed by François Robert & Natacha Falda in 1973. I designed a matching lower-case set and additional punctuation.
The original seems to be a bit wider too, with more horizontal space between the stars than vertical.
UPDATE: Jan 25, 2010 - I fixed the $ and () to reflect the original design by doubling all of the character sizes. Also added { and }, and redesigned *.

The ‘Sans Serious’ Series is a group of tribute typefaces meant to honor Dutch designer and typographer Jurriaan Schrofer.
Along with Wim Crouwel and Josef Albers, Jurrian Schrofer (1926 - 1990) was among the Bauhaus pioneers of grid-based modular typography and design.
Schrofer's work experimented with type, light, and color and focused on mathematical shapes and pattern.
“Schrofer made several attempts to create complete typefaces - one of which was wittily calledSans serious- but this was never his goal. ‘Is it necessary’, he wrote, ‘to make complete alphabets with upper- and lowercase, figures, diacritics and seriously adorned with a name, when the aim is merely a formal investigation into basic recipes’ Schrofer's domain was never the design of typographic alphabets, to be used by other designers, but always the creation of letterforms ‘made to measure’ as part of his own designs of - mainly - book covers and postage stamps. He created a rectangular alphabet as the basic element of his ever-changing covers - each based of the same grid but colored differently - for a series of scientific books, ‘Les textes sociologiques’ from Mouton Publishers. He made sophisticated pixel-based letters, all drawn by hand, and experimented with photographic screens as a means of distinguishing simplified letterforms from the background. He created logotypes built from custom-made letterforms, based on rectangular grids.”
“In his booklet ‘Letters op maat’ (‘Type made to measure’, 1987), Schrofer presented many of his experimental alphabets from the 1960s and '70s. The booklet was part of a series of goodwill publications edited by Wim Crouwel for Lecturis Printers, Eindhoven.”

A second contribution to the Crouwel's fonts replicas. This one was also inspired by a poster, for an exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (picture in the comments section). I thought it had never been reproduced before, until I came across edgar fernhout by funk_king. Next time I'll search on Fonstruct before I start a new font but, well, we have both good taste... I take the opportunity to thank the fonstructors who introduced me to Crouwel's work.

My own contribution to the Crouwel's fonts replicas. It's based on the Stedelijk Alphabet, used in a poster for an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (picture in the comments section). The font has already been extended and released by a foundry : http://www.foundrytypes.co.uk/foundry_architype_3/archi_3_stedel.html, and by several fontstructors : see Getting Away With It - Kerned by Goatmeal, Amsterdam by fizgig, Wim Crouwel 68 by sc0ttwats0n and Steadelijk by delicraig. But we all made different choices concerning the missing characters, and sticked more or less to the original design.
This is my homage to the late Dutch master. I tried to capture the impossible geometry, sense of space, and even the colours of his works. You can see and download the new v2 here:
