“Pixelesque” by Luxander

Sat, 12 Oct 2013 01:03:35 +0000

Pixelated 8x8 font (but best used in 10x10 because of spacing). Made for use in roguelike games. Still very much a work in progress.

“Breathe” by ewass1993

Wed, 09 Oct 2013 22:59:30 +0000

I started with the letter a which for some reason seemed very familiar. I realized while constructing the type that the a was from Abbott Laboratories. There is an typeface created specifically for the company, however besides the a, most of the letters differ.

“Bloqq” by lisa.vuong

Wed, 09 Oct 2013 22:32:06 +0000

Created for Intro to Typography. Inspired by the "Roam" typeface: http://www.behance.net/gallery/Roam/9635283

“RoJay” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Thu, 16 May 2013 16:51:55 +0000

A monospaced font I did with my dormitory in mind (Robert Jacobsen Kollegiet). The intended use was for the bar logo and menus and such. Never actually got used, but it might be at some point.

“Tangle” by Joanna Claire Mitchell (Claire Mitchell)

Sat, 18 Dec 2010 21:38:26 +0000

An improvement of the former (Headless/Tangle, now called Tangled Hairline); This version is bolder and simpler with more striking 'chaos motion' lines. This version is perhaps more decorative looking than the original and definitely more ordered in the sense of the letterforms to enable usability.

“Viiberz” by Hana Tucker (tucktuck)

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 13:48:38 +0000

This typeface has been created based on the theme 'Vibration'. I tried out a wide range of experimentation when it came to producing hand rendered work, as I felt I needed to work out what would best capture the general sense of the word. I tried using inks on elastic bands, attaching pens to a playstation controller and drawing, photographing food colouring over a speaker; all sorts. Finally, I decided I needed something which really reflected the word clearly. I looked at the white noise and the trails that you get on the television, and applied this feel to a sans serif font I had made based on Georgia (minus the Serifs) One of the most time comsuming things I've ever done, hope its been worth it. Any comments welcome.

“Prog” by afrojet

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:08:33 +0000

Prog is a condensed, geometric, modular display typeface with a contemporary sci-fi aesthetic. The design draws from a multitude of influences. Specifically I was inspired by: mathematics, Japanese space-rock, the movie MOON (directed by David Bowie's kid), and the Funk King's wonderful molecular work here on FontStruct.

The principle building block for the design is an obtuse angle segment that's cloned, reflected, and rotated to create an entire letter. Mapping the technique to the whole typeface was a challenge and there are some compromises (see D and U). As is frequently the case with these strict modular exercises the T is the stand out ugly duckling.

“fs I-Tilic” by thalamic

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:03:59 +0000

Inspired by a picture found on this website.

Another diagonal line font so soon after fs Overlap. A mere coincidence. The application of each is very different. Overlap is about negative space while I-Tilic is about patterns and meta shapes. Post samples if you end-up playing with this fontstruction. Have fun.

[ = fi ligature
] = ti ligature
< = background fill (negative)
> = background fill (positive)
` = reverse tile (above base line)
~ = reverse tile (full height)
{ = top border
} = bottom border
| = side border

“Bat Country” by loboarches

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:58:59 +0000

I produced this for my "communicating with words" first year module on the BA(Hons) Graphic Design course at UWE Bristol, England. It pays homage to Ralph Steadman and is a true testament to what you can do on fontstruct, if you’re willing to spend a week in front of a computer in your underpants.

“biline twist” by Christian Munk (CMunk)

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:05:43 +0000

Two lines twist and bend, giving the letters a pixelated but also rounded look.

“One-stroke” by lldaddy

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:54:11 +0000

The idea is mimicking the form of bending paper clips. But I find it hard to create smooth round bends. Nevertheless, each alhpabet is formed by one single wire, thus the name implies.

“fs mostly harmless” by thalamic

Mon, 25 May 2009 12:16:14 +0000

I filled it, kix. :)
-----
It appears as a clone because that's where it started but every character is built from scratch. kix' brilliant original is an understatement of perfection, using the least amount of bricks for such a grand effect. However, it left not much space inside for any kind of meaningful rendering. Had to quadruple each glyph in order to get enough brick space inside to get some effect going. In the process I came to appreciate the true brilliance of the design and the awesomeness of certain characters. G, for instance.
I have scaled everything up, but have not taken any liberties with the shapes—they are true to the original. If a certain glyph is off, it is due to my ineffective eye and not borne out of a desire to change the original. (Point it out, and I'll correct it). Hope you like it.

I live in the third-world; it is summer (well, it is here). Consequently, unannounced power outages 2, 5, 8 times a day are standard operating procedure. While/when we have power, my ISP may not. Consequently, unannounced internet outages 3, 4, 7 times a day are standard operating procedure. Out of 24 hours, I get 3, 4 hours of internet access on a good day. Everything everywhere is UPS'd up the wazoo. Still, UPSes need power to recharge. I never know when the computer might shut down or lose the internet connection. Consequently, I have become a master S-pusher. Sorry for the server load, admins. :-)

“Interpret ” by kussmich210

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:01:19 +0000

Trying to push the idea of what a letter really is. They are wire-formed letters, with rounded edges and three different thicknesses. They are made to give the impression of the letter, but to also contain a "futuristic-flourish" feel.

“FS Ariapenciroman” by kix

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:24:10 +0000

hey fellas. let me introduce my personal CROSSOVER of "arial" and "times new roman", two of the most famous fonts of western typefaces. nicely presented in a scetchy pencil drawn quickie style :) it's just lower case yet, but i wanted to share it. upper case, numerals and symbols to come. really :) this is especially tasty in small pixel sizes! thanks for attention! try it... *UNDER FONSTRUCTION*

“spacefurs” by unci

a geometric typeface inspired by 1950s-1970s lettering of the swiss railways, based on a square shape for most letters. there will be condensed and extended versions too. if you use this font for print, web, logos or other publications, please drop me a note, i'd be happy to receive samples and photos of the font in use! 2012-02-25 corrected accents
