Have you ever tried to add more glyphs to a font you haven't touched for months? Cause I always struggle when I try it… Nevertheless, I'll try to add some more characters as soon as I find time and motivation
Collection of linear-interpolated circle attempts, or simply faux-Bezier circles and other curvature related materials.
This toolset basically is collection of pre-made fake circles and curves in numerous different sizes to make ones workflow easier. It could also simply serve as a educative tool that demonstrates the basic FontStruct technique used for making fake curves and circles.
Initially I intended this to be much more complete, but it is simply too much work, and would take forever to get published at once.
Please don't expect this to be perfect, a lot gets fairly close to the "real-deal".
But keep in mind that they remain raw approximations of their true Bezier counterparts. I will try to improve whatever is needed as time progresses, as well as most likely add more stuff.

I hope you like it so far,
Feel free to copy, re-use, improve or even destroy!
enjoy!

Special characters: < (My OC's head), > (A heart), § (FS, though it may not look like it), Capital A with ring under it (alternate glyph for a)
Feel free to use and/or clone.
Fun fact: this was originally named percentage, but I changed it so it fits the style more
The nudge tool was used for some glyphs, like the dollar sign and yen sign.
The "Make Composite" tool was used to make the gradient effect.

Accepting @lucapri's suggestion, here is zoubizz... now with lowercase!
This is a clone of zoubizz eYe/FSInstructions: this font is designed for the creation of panoramic mountain ranges, plus some weather on a standard QWERTY keyboard. It is UPPERCASE only and makes use of the negative space left of the LEFT vertical guide to make overlays, which is why the preview looks funny.
1. Keep your shift key held down throughout.
2. High Peaks. Start by choosing an uppercase letter from the upper row (eg. "Q").
3. Low Peaks. Then choose an uppercase letter from the row below (eg. "A").
4. Foothills. Then choose an uppercase letter from the row below (eg. "Z").
5. Weather. Keeping the shift key held down, choose clouds and rain from the numbers row.
Notes:
> Remember to change each column of mountains + weather before moving on to the next.
> It looks like around 70 for text size is optimal.
> Use square brackets to start and finish your mountain range.
> Let me know if you spot a place for tweaks.
> See if you can find all the elements I forgot about!

By popular demand, I'm very proud to present you this recreation/digitization of Maxim Zhukov's Meander (an experimental modular type design from 1972, which was used in cover artworks for Stereolab's Dots and Loops album and Miss Modular EP).
Now supports Cyrillic characters and includes other custom-made glyphs, like numerals and punctuation marks.

This is something I've doodled on for a while. I'd like to incorporate shapes other than triangles and rectangles into this but I'm just too busy with other projects. Feel free to continue it, make it better, or whatever.
I had help from BWM for suggestions to improve a lot of the glyphs. Thanks, man!
Another handwriting script style font. Some suggestions for a better results: 1) You can put an additional bar (placed in the "<" and ">" glyphs) before typing a lowercase word. 2) And it's also convenient to add an extra space before writing a word with a capital letter to improve the separation between they. But you're the boss with it. Enjoy.
Berlin, Moscow, Paris in the 1920s... Bauhaus, Konstruktivizm, Art Deco... Effervescent people! This font is for Stefan, the cameraman in the picture, and for all the people who together built the world. Alternative M and N in the { and } glyphs. See also zergei and zandrine.
Xpanding (really!) zpains. The font can work by itself or curious effects can be achieved. The 3D aspect becomes real by adding one or two gray bands to our text as the sample show. Some alternatives (A, a, E, Y) are at the end of the Basic Latin set.

Two-in-One font again (maybe 3in1?). You can write only with the uppercase, write only with the lowercase or you can mix both alternating them in a single zigzagging word: HELLO, hello, HeLlO, hElLo. Your choice, your fun.
This is a clone of zipizape eYe/FSClone of Dot24Pin Sans Outline.
Still dreaming of 24-pin printers...
This original 24×15 typeface is designed around the limitations presented by the near letter quality (NLQ) output of dot matrix printers (DMPs) during the '80s & '90s. Partially inspired by J. David Sapir's DOS font design program, LQMATRIX, it could have easily been created using that program back in the day.
(The "smart phone"-looking character in the À position is simply a placeholder, used as a quick reference to set vertical height lines while FontStructing.)
