Highly experemental, quite illigible font, done only to see if it can be done.

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.This is a clone

A useless font, inspired by the Hiq Lockscreen app icon for Android.

--QWERTYUIOP are half-wide spacers

--ASDFGHJKL are full-wide spacers

This fs may be used on it's own, but it is designed to be used in conjunction with fs Stack Overflow so any two letters may be stacked one on top of another to create interesting word shapes and unconventional flow.

It looks simple but the execution was surprisingly involved. The idea was to do the letters in as few bricks as possible. Filters. 1.75...to be exact. Again, the geometry did not work out because custom bricks had to be formed to create the fine breaks and they did not line up with the assumed filter. A little bit of algebra later (yes kids, algebra does help in real life) 1.6 was determined as the proper filter setting.

Having built the letters as desired, with many a tweak before finalization, it was on to Overflow, which necessitated a reduction of the letters in half. That was easier said than done because of the filters. Some of the letters just did not translate exactly at half scale at 1.6 filter. Had to scrap the whole thing.

The only option remaining was to double the size and use the double size glyphs for Stack and move the existing Stack glyphs to Overflow. Doubling allowed finer glyph construction. Plenty of diversions later, what came out as reasonable was a strict following of my own grid. Figures.

It is now to the point where I can send it out in the world. I must do that before I do the sample because both thalamic and minimum accounts give a 500 Server Error when attempting a download. Luckily, I have yet another secret account which I will use to attempt download. I hope that works because I am in no mood to build words by taking screenshots and copy/pasting individual letters.

This was supposed to be a simple idea with a simple execution. It should not have taken this long. I'm really curious to see how successful the idea was. Here goes...

As usual, this is not what I set out to do. But it had merit of its own, so, as usual, what the heck principle was internally said and employed.

Uses only the square brick.

With only 45° cuts, this fs was not as clear-cut as evident. Much -fun- pains were staked to get things to line-up and combine and gel and connect and whatnot.

There are two types of connectors: internal and external. These can be used to connect letters together at the second rhombus level for external connectors and third rhombus level for internal connectors. Furthermore, each connector comes in horizontal and vertical variants. All connectors have a zero width, meaning typing any does not advance the character. This allows for connectors to be placed betwixt letters without manual adjustment. Further-furthermore, the horizontal and vertical connectors can be stacked one-on-top-of-another for a heavier connector action. Further-further-furthermore, there are larger connectors available for tricky letters with extra gaps, such as the T. Each of the larger connectors have the same properties as the smaller connectors. Further-further-further-furthermore, the larger connectors have 1×2 and 2×2 options. There's a little bit of system to this madness. Once you start typing, it starts to become second-nature quite quickly.

{ = Small Horizontal External Connector
[ = Small Vertical External Connector

} = Small Horizontal Internal Connector
] = Small Vertical Internal Connector

* = Large 2×2 Horizontal External Connector Left
( = Large 2×2 Vertical External Connector Left

) = Large 2×2 Vertical External Connector Right
_ = Large 2×2 Horizontal External Connector Right

~ = Large 1×2 Horizontal External Connector Left
` = Large 1×2 Vertical External Connector Left

< = Large 1×2 Horizontal External Connector Right
> = Large 1×2 Vertical External Connector Right

Then there are the heavier grills that come in 1, 2, 3 or 4 column varieties. All grills are negative widths, meaning typing any stacks the grill over the previous letters, without advancing the character forward. Furthermore, a four column half grill is available which makes a faux 3D effect.

@ = 1 Column Grill
# = 2 Column Grill
$ = 3 Column Grill
% = 4 Column Grill
^ = 4 Column 3D Grill

A randomness of vertical clear columns is also provided to separate or segregate or isolate or something any single or multiple glyphs.

| = Clear Column Forward
\ = Clear Column Backward

Got that? Now go have fun.
