A pixel-city. That means it is a pixelated city. A city that is made of pixels. PIXELS, not bricks.
The letters are as follows:
A--Capitol building
B--Plain building
C--Building cluster 1
D--Factory
E--Building cluster 2
F--Building cluster 3
G--Twin buildings
H--Building cluster 4
I--Bridge
J--Skyscraper #1
K--Central Park
L--Huge Building
M--Double Skyscrapers
N--Plain building #2
O--Plain Building #3
P--Airport
Q--Skyscraper
R--Burned-down building
S--Burned-down building 2
T--Space Needle (creds to my friend)
Space--Road
I'll probably add more buildings. Maybe another factory... I dunno.

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.

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.

This is done under pressure of time.
There will be some more alternate glyphs, but i got to leave the PC now :(
Hope it's a well competitor though...

A tribute to Othmar Motter, 1927-2010. A fontstructed lowercase version of his iconic Motter Tektura.

This font shows an example of the letterforms created with the new Arc brick with the advanced filter settings at 2:2.
The 2:2 setting enlarges each brick twice the size on the horizontal and vertical axes. About 90% of everything I work on uses the advanced filter settings. This enables two important things:
1. Half-brick positioning
2. Brick overlapping.
The Arc Brick 1:1 Sample Font works with the default filter setting. When switching filters from 1:1 to 2:2, you have four times as many brick placement options. The main thing to deal with in working with bricks using the 2:2 filter is to remember that each brick needs to be handled on the lower left. Since every brick now spans two grid spaces horizontally and vertically in a square, you will need to click and drag bricks from the lower left corner. This can get really confusing with multiple overlapping bricks.
The brick placement on this font is designed to maximize efficiency, minimizing overlaps to connect each brick cleanly. WIP. Upper and lowercase for now.
Please clone and check it out for details. If you have a question, just ask. =)

No reference used at all. This is me drawing Paul Renner's original Futura from memory, without intending to. Actually, I was going for something more Avante Garde. It all started with the O and developed from there. The hardest letter = S. It was a real pain in the S. It was interesting afterward to compare the letters to Futura after finishing the caps.
Futura - It was like the Helvetica of 1928.
Bezziaire is an early experimental simulation of Bezier curves with FS2.0. Zooming 30% and below renders best results.
Horizontal optical compensation added for the circular glyphs, as well as baseline overshoots.

Oh yeah, this also has preliminary involvement with shasta's circle competition, which is seriously humbled by his Circle Cult.

Xerro. Because it started with the o, and it looks like zero, even though there's no numerals. Another faux bezier helveticaesque looking sans serif experiment. Lowercase for now.

A work in progress. I'm not completely satisfied with some of letters. Suggestions would be helpful, thanks.

Well, apparently everybody here likes building letters... And I'm sure everybody got told at least once to finally shut down that damn computer while fontstructing.
Here's how you can go on tinkering fonts even with the computer unplugged!;)
I had carried this idea around with me a long time ago, doing some sketches, but abandoning it cause I thought all the thin and dotted lines would go beyond fontstruct's possibilities. Until funk_king proved me wrong... Thanks for the re-inspiration!
I think this is pretty self-explaining. Cut along the solid lines, fold along the dotted lines and put some glue on the shaded parts, put it all together, and there you go with your new toys!
Unfortunately it was impossible to fill all the inner sides of all the counters, but I tried to leave them open where you'd see it least. There might also be some bugs, I haven't tried them out yet. Pure brainwork so far... (My brain's still in the freezer to cool down a bit) In case someone ever actually uses them and finds something wrong, please let me know!
Hope you like it!:)
Check out the fill font if you wanna print your own custom-made design on the letters!

This font shows an example of the letterforms created with the new Arc brick with the default 1:1 filter settings.
The design decisions become limited by the inability for the arcs to connect to form the letter S in particular. The upper and lower S's here show some options to work within the limitation. WIP. Upper and lowercase for now.
The proper connections can only be created with the advanced filter settings set to 2:2 for both the horizontal and vertical axes. The Arc Brick 2:2 Sample Font shows more options in brick placement that alleviate some of the limitations found in the 1:1 filter space.
Please clone and check it out for details. If you have a question, just ask. =)
