“Jett” by Izzy-sparks

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 04:42:26 +0000

A font based on the spirit of Joan Jett and what you can think of while you're listening to her music.

“en pulli kolam” by naveenchandru

Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:52:28 +0000

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.

“SwiftedStrokes” by Mike Lee (badgerkins)

Fri, 05 Nov 2010 23:41:24 +0000

This is my first FontStruction while currently studying graphic design at Bristol UWE. Lots of experimentation solely using paints; quick hand movements and flicks to produce a messy, unrefined effect. Working in less than 1 second for each letter (with real paints), used as reference. Inspired by East Asian calligraphy.

“en origami - pencil shaded” by naveenchandru

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:09:18 +0000

Preview at a size slightly higher than the pixel size. Adjust the size to get a pencil shading effect. ----------------------------------- This is cloned from en origami v2. I've added the shading effect to each glyph.suggestions/comments are welcome:)

“Frostletter” by Tobias Sommer (shasta)

Sat, 29 May 2010 12:05:32 +0000

This is my first humble attempt at something blackletterish. It's the third clone of the initial starting point which was based on another blackletter attempt I did some time ago... Seems like I'm not much of a blackletter natural.:) I'm not completely happy with this one neither, but just pumping it out because i don't currently find any motivation or creativity to improve it.

Any suggestions for improvement are welcome! Especially for the T, that one gives me the creeps... And yes, I know kerning can get quite messy and is best done by hand.

More and/or higher resolution samples on my blog!

“puncture” by David Neustadt (saberrider)

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:34:48 +0000

something i've been working on recently. i'm still looking for a solution to virtually increase my screen resolution, so i would have more grid space. i don't know if the line strength is consistent and i propably won't start with the capital letters until then. anyway i thought i might as well throw this in to see what you guys think about it so far.

“fs I-Tilic” by thalamic

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:03:59 +0000

Inspired by a picture found on this website.

Another diagonal line font so soon after fs Overlap. A mere coincidence. The application of each is very different. Overlap is about negative space while I-Tilic is about patterns and meta shapes. Post samples if you end-up playing with this fontstruction. Have fun.

[ = fi ligature
] = ti ligature
< = background fill (negative)
> = background fill (positive)
` = reverse tile (above base line)
~ = reverse tile (full height)
{ = top border
} = bottom border
| = side border

“Bat Country” by loboarches

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:58:59 +0000

I produced this for my "communicating with words" first year module on the BA(Hons) Graphic Design course at UWE Bristol, England. It pays homage to Ralph Steadman and is a true testament to what you can do on fontstruct, if you’re willing to spend a week in front of a computer in your underpants.

“RM Scrapheap FS 1.0” by p2pnut

Couldn't find all the bricks I needed, so I had to make do with found materials :)

“Soma” by funk_king

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:20:22 +0000

well another escher inspired set. however with this one i was also influenced by the soma cube - which is very escheresk itself. actually i don't know if i'm more happy about this set which is much more simple and clean than my previous efforts or that i finally googled upon the soma cube which i had as a kid and wasted many hours playing with...much like now with fs :) thanks to frodo7 with Homage a Escher and shasta with Escheresk for providing great examples of clarity and inventiveness of design in this genre.

“Hommage à Escher” by Frodo7

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:25:43 +0000

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:

“Mazey” by lldaddy

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 02:27:39 +0000

The letters can easily be made more legible. But it gets to be FUN & a-MAZE-d. Every letter/word has a solution. 4 types of spaces: space bar, @, #, %. Try it.

“fs A Fault in Reality” by minimum
