This font started offline. It wasn't even supposed to be a font. I was just showing some students the value of a grid, even as tiny as 5×5 and the thousands of possibilities it generates. It led to making an 'a'. Of course, once that exercise was over, I had to continue making other letters. It's a compulsion. Sorry. The offline idea was slightly different. Compromises had to be made due to the limitation in place by the bricks available.

A 117-segment display made to have a more "mosaic" look. Try using this one at odd sizes, especially with antialiasing off! The resulting distortions occur in a consistent way which leads to many new uses for the font.

Original size: 38pt

A decorative insular display font.

This is still a work in progress. I'm pushing the new bricks, stacking and nudging to the limit to create some nice flowing shapes. This is also a great opportunity to get working with some good kerning. Once I have the basic character set, this is going to be submitted to Google Fonts for approval.

A serif font with a couple of nice little touches to it. My original idea was to attempt to make a Donburi Serif, but about three glyphs in turned into its own thing.

This is a rendition of one of A. V. Hershey's dot fonts from his 1967 paper "Calligraphy for Computers", the "Cartographic" (sans-serif) font. This version only has the original Latin and Greek characters, map symbols, and some punctuation, and, like the original font, is missing the []{}@#$%& symbols.

Make the letters any width desired.

Type the uppercase letter for the left half of the letter, type an extender (or not), then type the same lowercase letter for the right half of the letter. The more extenders are inserted between the left and the right halves, the wider the letter becomes.

I and T are the exceptions where the extenders are typed before and after the left and right halves and not inbetween.

The other exceptions are M and W which have been split into 3 and extenders are added between the left, middle and right thirds.

? is split between ? and /

Extenders are located at    @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) and _

How to extend:

A@@a, B##b, C$$c, D$$d, E##e, F%%f, G$$g, H^^h, &&Ii&&, J**j or J**$$j, K^^k, L**l, M(({((m, N((n, O$$o, P@@p, Q$$q, R%%r, S##s, (((Tt))), U**u, V**v, W**}**w, X^^x, Y^^y, Z__z, ?@@/

SUTORAIPU ORIGAMI - A display typeface that was inspired by origami.

Enjoy!

ELEVATED - A large 3D outline shadow display typeface.

It's inspired by the lettering from a sketch of great Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".

Enjoy!

The 1974 Olivetti Studio 46 presents a beautiful retrospective of a European square font. Since I'm a typewriter freak, I decided to 'rescue' this typeface. I will make a cleaner version in a few days and post that, too. -Su

Work-in-Progress …

This started out as a joke, but it just kept getting more interesting to me as it was developed. 
Completed countertops can contain at least two pieces: an uppercase and lowercase letter. The left side of the counter starts with a capital letter, which has a corresponding right side piece in the same lower case letter. Numbers and Shifted Numbers contain center pieces that can be typed in multiples. 
The <>, [], and {} make special faux perspective counter pairs. Use sparingly. 

G1 Recoil. It's like a vibrating pixel font. It's got like one strand most of the time. 

G1 Counterfade. Its got faded halftoned counters. Who would've thought.

A multi-line design which is slightly reminescent of mazes/fingerprints. It's not designed to create functional mazes, but it is somewhat capable!

"Absinthelyric Print" is an anagram for "Labyrinthine Script".

Original size: 11.25pt. Use multiples of this value for pixel perfection. (If you use antialiasing, it will look perfect at most any size.)

Design rules:

1. Square bricks and 90-degree angles only.

2. Alphabetic glyphs must have open terminals; numerals and symbols must have closed terminals. Letters which do not terminate (D,O, etc.) must be broken so that they terminate.

3. Glyphs must fill the 15x15 grid.

4. Ligatures and combinatorial glyphs must fit into one letter's space.

A last minute countercomp entry, taking a deco design and surrounding the glyphs with greater and lesser facsimiles

A classical option with a new point of view (the scrape). The LC is different to make more legible the pairs of equals glyphs like FF, TT, CC, OO, EE... IBYP because I'm kerning a lot of them.  

Very stressful assembly of bricks, I thought I would not finish it on time. Uff! Some glyphs are still expecting to be included in the font. WIP, and kerning.

A funky idea that started with the A and expanded from there. Most letters are drawn by a single line winding around, although some are just not willing to follow this mantra. I found this half-finished while scrolling through my private FontStructions, looking for ideas for the CounterComp, and decided it was already an interesting entry :-)

There's an alternate, narrow set of numbers that can be reached with Shift+number (on a QWERTY, Dvorak, etc. layout); not sure which set fits the style better. Suggestions and critiques welcome for anything, and feel free to clone and poke around with it. Thanks and enjoy!

my entry into countercomp

a font for when you want to be brutally serious and to the point

The counters in breach overlap the outlines of their glyphs and extend beyond them. x-height: 3 bricks

The idea is to represent counters with arrows. Letters with closed counters (e.g. D,P ) were first opened and only afterwards were represented by arrows.

Fluid simulator. Author too lazy to do lowercase.

Sort of a semi recap of the lettering found on the second issue of Polish avant garde architectural magazine called "PRAESENS".

It got published throughout the first part of the previous century and was similar to other magz from that era such as: DeStijl, Wendingen & Het Overzicht.

It's not super accurate but still a fairly recognizable and cool looking type.  I already made a pro version of this lettering in the past with FontLab Studio, which closely capturing the exact original design.
