I make serious fonts to help my computer programming. I also like doing conceptual things with fonts, like making them overlap to build shapes, making letters represent different things and building optical illusions of lines that are not there.

I built this to have the least possible padding at the top of a button.
This is a clone of Friendly GeekFriendly Geek is the regular version of Friendly Geek Light. Its widths are all 6/6 block rather than 4/6 block. The outlines of the glyphs have generally been left the same, with the insides being filled with 2/6 extra width.
This is a clone of Friendly Geek LightI keep experimenting with crosses to make a 'Christian' font. This is my third or fourth attempt. The letters are nicely shaped but they don't seem bold enough. Make them bolder and they would have all sorts of interesting irregularities. I also might try serifs. I like the serifs on the 'I'.
Another attempt to make a readable font narrower than Arial Narrow. I am basing the letters on ovals now, to try to make them easier for my eyes to deal with at small sizes. Works well at size 9. Arial Narrow is still better than this at size 8.
This is a clone of UrialThe idea is to read other alphabets as if they were Roman.
This is a clone of CheckovsFunI am very surprised at how readable this is in Microsoft Word. I did not intend this font to be readable. The whole idea was to use all angles and no curves so that I could hopefully have thousands of glyphs without the font getting too huge. Readability is a nice bonus.
