Playing with pattern capitals. Some alternates in the lowercase. Best viewed in large format.

A blackletter-inspired unicase design. I'm thinking this will look good on certificates, diplomas and all sorts of official documents where readability is secondary. I've got some spacing adjustments to make in the punctuation.

This is my little contribution to the fantastic recovering universe
called LETTERS OP MAAT by the great @Sed4tives about the typographic world of the dutch artist and typographer Jurriaan Schrofer. Btw, I sincerely apologize to @Sed4tives for the undue delay and the time it took to publish this exciting addition to his magnificent series (I'm sure he thought I'd forgotten, didn't he, comp4ñero?). Hope you like and enjoy these two fonts in one.

GUIDE TO FIND GLYPHS:

- Curved left unicase: A to Z + Ç, Ñ, Æ, Œ.

- Curved right unicase: a to z + ç, ñ, æ, œ.

- Curved left numbers: 0 to 9.

- Curved right numbers: for 0 type %, 1=<, 2= =, 3=>, 4=[, 5=], 6={, 7=|, 8=}, 9=^.

- Other curved left glyphs like ., , , ”, ’, ', ?, !, @, $, &, (, ) and -: in their own glyphs, plus :=/.

- Other curved right glyphs: ”=“, ’=‘, '=", @=*, &=#, -=+, .=:, ,=;, $=`,:=\, ?=¿, !=¡, (=_, )=~...

... The work still in progress (diacritics in the oven)...

An earlier (1926) constructed alphabet from Jan Tschichold, based on a somewhat finer grid and a slightly less condensed uppercase and a bolder appearance overall.

With a caps-height of 17, reproducing some diagonals proved quickly to be between nightmarish and impossible, thus the fidelity is a bit less exact than my previous recreation.

For a digitisation that encompass both designs and offers proper alternates, you can look at Peter Wiegel’s Tschichold.

Unicase with alternates. I was trying a monospaced font, but...

Happy 17th BD, FontStruct!

Based on old vector display text, mainly on what's seen in The Andromeda Strain (1971). Alternative D/K/V in the uppercase.

While I'm still in a Fontstruct mode, here's a color font derived from Dmitriy's Paris poster suggestion. Usunus (ұсыныс, reads as ooosoonoos) means suggestion. WIP.

This project was stuck in font purgatory for over two years due to some frustrating issues with consistency. Finally revisited and finalized, here is a simple thin inline deco font, had some fun with the flip-flopped "B" as the "g." Please enjoy~

A quick modular font based on McLaren's 2025 F1 livery numerals. Still needs some refinement and an expansion of the character set.

Pipe style font that's been started a year ago along with KD Kubr. Finally got myslef into finishing main letters. Still in progress so you might see some errors here and there.

Inspired from Tom Hultgren's Traffic but with two layers of color, 45 degree cut.

Newt is a spinoff from Salamander but reduced to a 2x2 grid system. Originally planned for 2023's iteration of 36 Days of Type, but later scrapped due to time constraints.

Available to download for free as part of a font bundle over here.

Tall Modern Western Style font. Three extra glyphs "M", "N" and "Ñ" are placed at the ligatures "fi" and "fl" and the "™" sign. (Btw, this font started with a dreamed letter "R".)

Opening day of Marvel's Captain America: New World Order movie! 

It's been so long since I've worked on a fontstruction, I forgot how to stack composite bricks. It's like going back to the gym after a long break and I can't do any heavy lifting and I'll be sore from it tomorrow.

This design is very retro Cap. The fill is a throwback to the original Captain America's comic book chain mail suit material. 

made this using my drawing tablet

i tried mimicking real ink as closely as possible

WOLKENKRABBERS — Condensed streamline Art Deco style lettering
═════════════════════════════════
 

Enjoy!

This turned into a whole series when all I was trying to do was simple 3×3 oversized pixel font. One tiny modification to try and fit some glyph into the established structure led other glyphs to conform to the modification. As a general practice, every time I make a modification to a completed glyph, I make a copy of it first. When enough glyphs were conformed to a/the modification, I moved them off to a clone.*

While working on the clone, some new tiny modification would generate glyphs that were similar but enough different that it warranted it's own clone. And so on...so much that the naming scheme had to be changed a few times as well.

And the series is not even all that good. But once an idea hits...and the FontStruction is easy to do... it might as well be "completed".  There are 9 versions of tmADHDs at varying states of completion at the time of first sharing.

*​​This is an over-simplification of the process. What actually happened was that the first iteration ended up with what looked like three similar-yet-distinct styles so I made two clones of the first and deleted glyphs of the first style from the second and moved glyphs to uppercase of the ones that seemed to belong to the second style and added new glyphs to flesh out the style. Did the same for the third. Lots of back and forth between the three iterations to ensure none were left behind or inadvertently deleted. Still there were enough individual glyphs left that I didn't know what to do with. Then I created a fourth clone and moved the left-overs to it. Which later turned to fifth and sixth clone. At some point the thought occurred that tmADHD2 doesn't need to be as wide so it became tmADHD2a and the narrower iteration became tmADHD2b. And so on.

a venture into neon art deco, inspired by tortoiseshell's "night lyfe" (hence the name~)

Caps only. Inspired by the cool font "Chwast Art Tone" -or simply "Artone"- (1968, by the legendary master of design Seymour Chwast), "Inkwell" (1992, Sam Wang) and "Dogsmoke" (2019, Humberto Gillan), and recalling the feelings of those unforgettable momments from the "Saturday Night Fever" times. Tony Manero lives! Thanks a lot to @Dmitiy Sychiov for designing these beautiful Cyrillic glyphs.

This italic was more difficult to build than I espected (especially the glyphs K, M, S, X, g, k, x, 2, 5, 6, 8, ß and a few others). There are still shapes that are very hard to achieve using the current FontStruct's tools... but nothing is completely impossible if you dedicate the time to it, the results are often surprising. So it also took me much more time to complete the entire character set, but I'm happy about the final aspect of the font: it looks curiously forceful, positive and fresh at the same time, and I like it, despite not being 100% happy with some glyphs. Kerning isn't finished. Suggestions are welcome, folks. This is my 2024 font for Xmas: Happy holidays to you and yours, dear Rob Meek and all the FontStructors wherever you are!

STF_WALDBAUER — Condensed modernist Bauhaus sans
═══════════════════════════════════

This is rather a heavily condensed sans that sits halfway between a Bauhaus and Art-Deco style lettering.

The low waist, tall x-height, long ascenders and deep descenders give this font a somewhat elegant appeal. The uppercase set is clearly Art-Deco inspired, whereas the lowercase set leans more towards a playful Bauhaus mondernist style. Several characters have filled enclosed parts or other exaggerated features as well as non-filled alternate forms.

The idea for this font was inspired and extracted from a 1930s poster ad by Pál Vince for luxury luggage company Waldbauer.

The FontStruction's x-height is 3,5×1 grid units, so its tiny!

I hope you like it,

Cheers

JS-SAVOIR GEOGRAPHIQUE ROUNDED (BOLD)
═══════════════════════════════════
A revival based on the lettering sketches and studies by Dutch graphic designer Jurriaan Schrofer for the book series 'Le Savoir Geographique' and 'Le Savoir Historique' (1971-1974) by Pierre Gourou during his time with Dutch publishing and printing company Mouton & Co., which was based in The Hague.

This is a bold weight rounded variation to the original work by Schrofer.

The following text embeds a collection of links that redirect to some additional background documentation on all the work Schrofer did for this book series.

More about Schrofer's other material. please visit the web page of the Wim Crouwel Institute,  which currently curates the entire Schrofer collection that was previously owned by NAGO (Dutch Archive for Graphic Designers Foundation).

Note that this additional info is in Dutch language only.

Inspired by INVASION BLOCK (by the great Upixel), but right slanted, with more glyphs added (206 in total) and some of the originals slightly retouched.

Condensed slab serif.
