“Typewritten” by minidonut

More retro than any other typewriter font. This one has some imperfections to imitate a real typewriter.

“Scaffoldini” by funk_king

i started this one a long time ago - the original starter file is dated 9/15/2009. this began as a result of trying to create a different isometric font. after building the framework or scaffolding, i did a few 'A' glyphs, but couldn't go any further. initially, i used square bricks to create the lines, but changed to circle bricks to get a smoother look, although it still looks kind of rough and well...like a cinder block :) it wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it would be to complete, but still challenging. no other versions yet, but maybe...

“Decay of TNR” by Sebastian Bland (blandsdf)

I began by exploring the theme of decaying objects, such as fruit, and studied the shape (and change of shape) of the objects, as they progressively fell apart. By creating hand drawn sketches i began to create a typeface that looked as though it was rotting/melting away. I used a traditional typeface, Times New Roman, that could be considered as quite boring and a font which has been around for a long time and then used it as a base font which i then made to look as though it was rotting and falling apart by refering back to my earlier sketches. Overall I aimed to create a typeface that represents the decay of an older, more traditional and perhaps overused typeface.

“Forte” by edobbs

Still a work in progress, but this is a font for quick and dirty musical notation. z, a, q, and 1 are low 'a.' Each is a different duration (eigth, quarter, half, whole). Use shift on those to go up an octave. Space is for formatting; one space between notes usually works. Brackets are left/right staff ends, and vertical line | is the measure divider. The right side of the keyboard is used for flats and sharps. Plus and minus are time signatures (still working on those). Backslash is a repeat sign, and tilde is measure repeat. ` is a treble clef.

“Hommage à Escher” by Frodo7

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:

Sometimes you just need to throw some junk pixels into the mix.
