When I saw this beautiful fontstruction by Afrojet, I could not resist and had to make one for myself.
Here is how to use it:
1. Make sure kerning is set to metrics
2. Type your text in capitals
3. Pick a colour for the letters and lower the opacity.
4. Copy-Paste your text and place it on top of the other.
5. Change the case of the top text from uppercase to lowercase.
6. Pick a second colour and lower the opacity again to make the colours blend.

Inspired by "Micro", created by Syniphas, which is mostly composed of characters measuring 1x2 tiles (using composites), I decided to go for 2x2 tiles (no composites).
This is the result.
Possibly still in need of extra work.
Was considering turning each character into composites, thus making the palette composed of the font itself, but that seemed a little pointless since it would still look the same in the end.

Just a bold, pixellated serif font like you might see at the intro of one of those old-school coin-operated alien blasters. Please note: Using this font will not enable you to have alien-blasting superpowers, so don't even get that notion in your head.

An improvement of the former (Headless/Tangle, now called Tangled Hairline); This version is bolder and simpler with more striking 'chaos motion' lines. This version is perhaps more decorative looking than the original and definitely more ordered in the sense of the letterforms to enable usability.This is a clone

Inspired by what you might see had the Aztecs adopted the Latin alphabet. Includes some of More Latin, but no lower case.

This one is based on kolam. kolam is an art of floor drawing, which is prevalent in South India. The lines are interesting to see. The lines form longer loops. With few loops interesting patterns can be formed. Sometimes a single line can compose a kolam. Decoration is not the sole purpose of kolam. Traditionally kolam is drawn with dry rice powder. And it is said to invite other small creatures to eat it. Everyday a new kolam is drawn.

A Recreation of the font used by Sega's System-16 Arcade Hardware.
This is adapted from Enduro Racer specifically, as opposed to Fantasy Zone, Space Harrier or so on - the only difference is some specialty glyphs like the 'Km/h'.

This typeface has been created based on the theme 'Vibration'. I tried out a wide range of experimentation when it came to producing hand rendered work, as I felt I needed to work out what would best capture the general sense of the word.
I tried using inks on elastic bands, attaching pens to a playstation controller and drawing, photographing food colouring over a speaker; all sorts. Finally, I decided I needed something which really reflected the word clearly. I looked at the white noise and the trails that you get on the television, and applied this feel to a sans serif font I had made based on Georgia (minus the Serifs)
One of the most time comsuming things I've ever done, hope its been worth it.
Any comments welcome.This is a clone

This font was inspired by the word chaos. Initially to me chaos meant incoherent mess, but after looking at chaos theory i began looking at ways to order chaos. To show this in my font I have used a regimented typeface with repeated ideas of thick and thin lines, but juxtaposed this restriction by forming the letters with chaotic scribbles.

By researching the meaning of chaos, I came across the chaos theory, which describes the movement of unpredictability. My font is based on a diagram that explains the movement of chaotic systems. The design of the typeface is based upon helvetica, a clearly legible font over which i added the circular movement seen from the diagram.
My typeface has an element of fun and could be used to promote a relaxing product or experience by using a contrasting idea; chaos. It could also be used to promote electronic music; record labels, album covers, in particular rave or club nights.
This typeface literally causes havoc with your systems; for a more usable, bolder version try Tangle.

Typeface initially based on the theme of decay, getting inspiration from the look of old, rotten, decayed wood. Created for my first year project at UWE Bristol, and my first fontstruction.

Influenced by shattered glass and the idea of 'ordered chaos', I created a type that would appear to be both legible and illegible. Looking at certain geometric shapes I focussed on how a letter could be 'pulled' apart into something completely different and chaotic.

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.

This one evolved as I was working on it. Originally intended to be a slab serif using the new bricks but no filters, stacks, or composite bricks. I found that the letters looked cooler when some of their shapes were implied.
If I can get around to stencilling this, I'll enter it in the handmade competition.

This is pretty much like the last one, except almost like a non-glitchy version. uppercase melts to the left, lower melts to the right, numbers melt to the center.

Minimalistic experiment. I started with a big dot for each letter. 'f', 'i', 'j', 'l', 'r' and 't' didn´t look good enough to keep them like this. I am quite content with the result. If you have any suggestions... please go ahead!

Re-fontstructed with composite bricks, finally an uppercase that works with this strange mash-up of a design. Latin-A is a mess of alternates and swashy ideas (for now). I may update them with proper diacritics, a suite of swash caps, and the rest of the characters from the original. Numerals need revising to fit the cap height. Enjoy this beta!This is a clone

1x1 monospaced. No curves. I started with the letters and I tried not to use many different bricks. The other characters have lots of different bricks, but I wanted this one to be complete.

A fun rounded sans with a hexagonal halftone pattern? You betcha! Zoom right in to see the halftone goodness, or use at 1/4 pixel size for a nice sausagey sans.
