“Raranga” by Aeolien

Thu, 10 Nov 2016 00:21:15 +0000

Inspired by trying to thread heddles on a 4-shafter .........

The design uses a lot of nudging, a little stacking and composites, using some of the exciting extended capabilities of the FontStructor.

The font's name is Maori and means "weaving".

This font is as finished as I need to have it at the moment. I'll add a few more glyphs later.

“'Phags-pa Tibetan” by Arakun

Fri, 15 Jul 2016 10:49:25 +0000

My take on the Mongolian 'Phags-pa script designed by the Tibetan monk Phagspa in 1269, based on the Tibetan script, to write Mongolian, Tibetan, Sanskrit and Chinese. This font is based on the Tibetan style which consists almost entirely of straight lines and right angles. It seemed like a prime candidate for a FontStruct treatment. I've added rounded corners and serifs to make it more visually interesting.

The script is written in vertical columns top-to-bottom and left-to-right and thus needs to be rotated 90° clockwise and the columns then reversed.

'Phags-pa was added to the Unicode standard in version 5.0 in 2006. This font however uses an ad-hoc mapping to Ascii characters which admittedly doesn't always make sense. I kind of gave up in the end and started assigning a bunch of letters to digits. Letters are connected into syllable block by a thin line (mapped to '-'), usually on the right-hand side. A straight line clashed wth the serifs so I made it into a small arch.

The script is an abugida: the vowel ‹a› is inherent in each syllable and thus not written.

“pyramid” by unci

An embossed typeface with angular shape for lowercase and numerals, some 45° bevels for uppercase. Inspired by aerial views of pyramids in low light.

“Spellbound” by wicci

Fri, 12 Feb 2016 22:54:27 +0000

A traditional alphabetic font with a medieval flavour. The space is a black circle so a negative space between words. There is a full-stop and a forward-slash (Solidus) as the only punctuation marks. Numerals are based on roman numerals by design but should be used as standard numbers, so 22 is written as ll ll (2 of the number 2) rather than XXll which would be the correct use of roman numerals. PS: The font is surprisingly legible at very small sizes.

Clone of spellbound / envoûté.

“AT Kitay” by kassymkulov

Mon, 21 Dec 2015 16:38:06 +0000

Kitay means China. Idea was to find chinese characters that visually look similar to latin letters. Some who tried it used letters from existing fonts, or chose different characters.

I hope the final result is 乚幺厶工乃乚幺 enough ). Letters V,v though, still need to find a similar character...

Use bevelon fill to add a second colour layer to your design.

“zeamróg eYe/FS” by elmoyenique

Sun, 23 Aug 2015 00:30:03 +0000

"Seamróg" is the irish-gaelic word for "shamrock"/"clover" in english (= "trébol" in spanish). This is an gothic lombardic font mixed with uncial style (X-XIV c) -only capitals and numbers and a few other glyphs here-, all very curved in a modern way. You can find some alternates at the LC. Glad if you like it.

“Kapow” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Tue, 09 Jun 2015 16:34:26 +0000

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.

“Karakteristika” by V. Sarela (Yautja)

Sun, 07 Jun 2015 14:33:39 +0000

A sharp medieval-like font, inspired by Skyrim.

“tm - and Build” by minimum

Tue, 02 Jun 2015 15:46:48 +0000

This fs was started in January 2012. I didn't remember that of course, I just checked the created date. Similarly, who-the-fun can remember what the inspiration was for it. All I know is that it has gone through many iterations to reach this state. It only uses the one square brick but oh so many of them. Even though all it contains are straight lines, still a pain to build brick by square brick. I am so glad it is over. I will not be doing much more than this on it. Bye bye, Build. Pester someone else.

“Sajou 601 large” by darkgreen_orange

Tue, 12 May 2015 22:43:02 +0000

Gorgeous, isn't it? This is a reproduction of a cross-stitch pattern from the French series of embroidery books "Maison Sajou". It dates to around the turn of the 20th century. After seeing such a beautiful, ornate pattern, I just had to convert this one to a font, a process that took several months. The design is made of intricate flower buds, stems, leaves, and check patterns. The design of the letters is similar throughout the pattern, however no two letters have exactly the same layout (for example, flower buds are facing a slightly different angle). Each letter is intertwined with a branch that winds its way up the letter, and features representations of leaflets and berries. The 'I' and 'W' were not present in the original design. 'J' doubles as 'I' and 'W' is a rotated 'M'. While I would love to make up numerals based on the current letters, it would be a daunting task as each letter is about a 100x100 size grid. Anyone is welcome to clone this font and give it a shot. This pattern was found on http://patternmakercharts.blogspot.com/2010/11/sajou-no-601.html . There are lots of Sajou and other embroidery patterns there.
