The original version of this font seemed to have a problem with line spacing while I used Word® . A space was automatically inserted before  ;  and  :  and occasionally the  ,  . For a reason I don't undertand any line of text using these glyphs slipped down a few pixels which made the pages of text look untidy and reading quite unpleasant.

I haven't seen any reason for this, found no slipped bricks below the base line or above the highest diacritic's edge nor did I see a brick at the left or right of a glyph nor did I 'misalign' glyphs. In desperation I have changed the position and shape of the 'problematic' glyphs as well as some descenders, ascenders and height of some diacritics. I'll check tomorrow if this has improved spacing. BTW, this problem doesn't show up in the font preview of the Fontstructor nor in the 'My Fontstructions - user input'

It is possible that my eyesight is bad, or that I was too tired when checking this font and its parent version. If you happen to spot or know what caused this erratc line spacing please let me know, thanks🤝

The purpose of this tutorial font is to show all possible brick combinations that can be used to make a composite, both vertically and horizontally, plus the 3 squares.  There are a maximum of 16 total bricks allowed (plus any 

spaces, see below), but a composite may contain as few as 2 bricks.  Please note that the square combinations of [2×2], [3×3] and [4×4] are duplicated in both the vertical and horizontal sets.

Empty spaces *also* count toward the maximum number of allowed bricks, but due to the numerous possible combinations, composites that include empty spaces are not included here.  Simply recognize that you CAN make composites with empty spaces in them, and when bordered by bricks, empty spaces WILL be included in your total composite count...

For example: in the first set of vertical composites [1×2] to [1×16], there are ~1.789 × 10^40 possible combinations that can be generated from the current brick sets (Core set = 241 bricks + Connect set = 86 bricks) plus empty spaces.

And for the simplest composites that can be made -- either [1×2] or [2×1] -- there are 106,929 unique composites (327×327) that can be made for each direction, vertical or horizontal.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you clone this font and use the outline feature to view the resulting composite structures: activate Expert Mode, then use the Keyboard Shortcut "O" to toggle the Outline Mode on and off.

Once a composite is created, don't forget that you may also ERASE bricks from it in a process called "padding." This can help you remove bricks along an edge or corner(s) of your composite.  The following links explain composites in greater detail:

Composite Bricks with Padding

As I recently mentioned to another FontStructor, composites are an EXTREMELY powerful tool when creating fonts.  However, the trick in creating them effectively is that you must not only consider HOW you want the resulting brick to look in the end, but also have the foresight to plan which bricks you may need to INCLUDE -- then subsequently ERASE -- from your composite brick to achieve you goal.

Good luck, and Happy FontStructing!  :^)

Look at д л э ч

A font designed after those jigsaw foam mats you see in nurseries, sometimes with removable letters or numbers.

Fun fact: these colors were picked from the Fontsructor UI!

Started as just a clone of the invaluable resource that is djnippa’s All Composites saved in MY BRICKS.

I added some angles and rearranged them in a manner that works better with my way of fontstructing. Also added the relative widths of 1-square-wide slopes.

Perhaps it can be useful for someone else too.

WARNING: Many bricks are flipped and/or rotated, stack with caution.

I may make a 2×2 version sooner or later. In the meantime, please let me know if I missed anything.

Had quite a bit of fun with this blueprint inspired font for the competition, numbers have been incorporated to best measure glyph length, angles and so forth. Please enjoy~

ORIENTFAHRTEN (Pro) — Semi-connected script-style font design
═══════════════════════════════════
Losely based on the lettering that was seen on a 1929 poster design by German painter Ottomar Carl Joseph Anton (1895-1976) for the “Hamburg-Amerika Line”  * (click for image of the original poster)

Whereas the original (non-Pro)-version aimed at extracting that “stylistic essence” of the lettering, and made an attempt at extrapolating and restoring a full alphabet from the letters provided by the original poster.. And so, that basically became sort-of a font revival with a little extra's.

ORIENTFAHRTEN (Pro) then took this to a whole nother level.

This reformation wasn't guided by Ottomar's original poster-lettering, but rather a remodeling and amelioration of my initial work.
Many glyphs were fully re-invented, others only just partially improved.

In addition to this, many new things were introduced as well.

For example, the font was further ornated with various typographic elements and bits, reminiscent of calligraphic hand lettering.

Turning this into a much more attractive looking little novelty.

Also some “technical” restructuring of the Unicode character mapping, to creating more user-friendly text formatting properties.

Since it is a semi-connected script, certain characters were deliboratly disconnect and some weren't.

For example, the uppercase letters almost all disconnect, whereas the majority of lowercase letters will connect by default. A set of glyphs alternate forms was included that allow to break the 'connected' flow of a text.

These also function sort-of as “Contextual Substitutions”,  but without OpenType's automated glyph-stream lookup classes. Yet these do allow the manual control over word-endings and word-space situations. So when a default-glyph is followed by a white-space, a glyph-alternate form could than be selected to replace the default-character encoding and improve overall aesthetics and natural flow of text. These substitutions are located in the “Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms” and “Private Use Area's” Unicode blocks. In addition to the default alphabet letters the font also includes numerous symbols and punctuation marks, as well as ligatures.

As for the “numberscomp” that is currently in progress:

This font was specially fitted with 5 different schemes for text figure arrangement.
 • Didot-(old style) non-lining (font default)
 • Traditional-(old style) non-lining
 • Clean-(modern) lining
 • Tradidotional-(old style) non-lining
 • Ornate-(modern) lining

— This does temporarily create a new problem for me though... As this would be my fourth submission to the competition, where a maximum of only three font submissions is allowed. Now, which of these previous entries am I going to eliminate?!

I hope you like it,

Cheers

This is my entry in the NumbersComp...

I'm sorry that it does not live up to my standard, but I simply don't have te time to be a contender this year. My entry is only because I know I would be mad with myself when I wouldn't submit at least "something.

Cheers, and good luck

LC letters here are simply stencil variants of the numbers and letters.

Another Art Nouveau venture, wanted to take a more earnest look and study into the adjoining arts and craft/craftsman genres. Please enjoy

HeavyComp Entry number 2

Inspired by the Logo of The band Scorpions first created back in 1975.

All other letters were built based on the letters in the original logo by me.

I found the original font of the logo, called "Lady Starlight" (you can check it out here:https://www.dafont.com/lady-starlight.font?text=SCORPIONS) quite boring and thus made this like a recreation. Hope you find it much more interesting.

HeavyComp entry number 1

Enjoy!
