“Kapow” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

I suddenly had a lot of time on my hands, which resulted in this font. The initial idea was to make a font inspired by the (handwritten?) signs in retail stores, but it quickly took a turn for the more comic.

Only lowercase and minimal punctuation for now...not enough time for a complete set. The lowercase characters can be layered on the uppercase to get different colored outlines and slashes. The uppercase contains the characters as the outlines and the internal slashes. The lowercase contains the characters as just the outlines. The punctuation has the outline only version on the it's key and the slashed version on the SHIFT + key. For example, 2 contains the outline version of @ and SHIFT + 2 contains the slashed version of the @.

A heavy metal variant. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

“Ohm Run Slab” by William Leverette (will.i.ૐ)

Sat, 09 Apr 2011 06:18:09 +0000

Here, the innovative approach I took to stroke contrast in iSlab takes a radical leap forward. The result: a technical, friendly, modern slab serif design demonstrating further potential of the stackable composite function.

Please enjoy a private clone to see how I dealt with contrast, curves, bracketing, variable letter width and the difficult-to-achieve emboldening of the capitals’ vertical strokes within a minimal fontstruct matrix (and If you like what you see, please download for personal usage and vote kindly! :)

Intaglio’s amazing recent work makes similar strides (see the excellent rounds, for example), offering a solution before me to several of these long-standing impasses of the medium.

More characters to come... :)

“Hunstruct” by afrojet

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 22:47:50 +0000

Hunstrüct is my first attempt at designing a contemporary blackletter typeface within Fontstruct. The typeface draws inspiration from the long tradition of German Fraktur styled blackletters. The name Hunstrück is taken from a mountain range in Germany called the Hunsrück. Primarily I was aiming to build a face that would work well as a display type for gig posters and larger headlines but as I reworked the typeface I tried to strike a balance between text and display.

Big thanks goes to djnippa for his hard work in spacing this font properly.

“Escheresk” by Tobias Sommer (shasta)

I intended to make some sort of an M.C.Escher tribute here. I'm sorry this isn't very complete and far from being perfectly well done, but it somewhat started to make me feel dizzy...;) And even though I'm not very convinced by this, I don't think I'd come up with a way better execution soon.

I hope for Mr Escher that there are better tribute fonts for him out there! He'd definitely deserve it...

It was by the way funk_king's Impossible Alphabet that reminded me of this unfinished thing laying around in my messy unpublished fontstructions box, and made me take it out and finish it. (If you can call 42 characters "finished".)

Also check out Frodo7's Hommage à Escher, geneus1's IsoMatrix 3D, and funk_king's Soma for some other great Escher-esque fontcrafting!

“fs A Fault in Reality” by minimum

Waaaaaaaay too many dots. ^_^

“Aerologica” by geneus1

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:44:29 +0000

Exactly one year ago, I released Brikd. This is kind of the same thing without the bricks. and the Rick Roll. plus a 3D extrusion. and faded reflection. and rendered in 1:2 scale. 073013 Updated with the New Pointy Bricks for sharper sheens.

“FS Broadway” by kix

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 15:13:24 +0000

the DOT experience continues... It gives you an unexpected kind of FREEDOM creating lines with dots. This time i doubled the resolution by using 2x2 circles. Finally your eye can help making curves of any size look complete and entirely smooth! Oh my god... I see more possibilities now than ever before!! That technique of "dotting", as i call it, will make my brain bust, i guess. :P May the force be with me!
