This one is a little older. It became interesting again for the inline competition, even if its not a "real" inliner

Only lowercase and minimal punctuation for now...not enough time for a complete set.
The lowercase characters can be layered on the uppercase to get different colored outlines and slashes.
The uppercase contains the characters as the outlines and the internal slashes. The lowercase contains the characters as just the outlines.
The punctuation has the outline only version on the it's key and the slashed version on the SHIFT + key. For example, 2 contains the outline version of @ and SHIFT + 2 contains the slashed version of the @.

This typeface is based on the theme of "Vibration". From the beginning I wanted to create a unique design, looking at sound I decided to use my voice as the starting point. After recording myself pronouncing the alphabet and uploading it to a sound editor I looked at the different shapes and patterns it created. This was my voice that was unique to me and was the inspiration for the typeface. I then researched fonts and looked at bold, chunky designs which could hold the pattern without taking too much away from the letter form as it was important to me that my design was still legible. I decided to use the corresponding sound with the letter (i.e. the A has my pronunciation of the letter running through it)making it different from anything I have seen before. Please comment and share your opinions. Thank You

Canos is a font designed with circles and ellipses, resulting in a relief illusion. Just like some of the nice crazy fonts of the 70's.

Three dimensional letters look as if carved out of blocks of diagonally layered black and white material.This is a clone

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

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. :-)This is a clone

Decorative western/circus font, inspired by Rosewood, Zebrawood and similar fonts. The lc are with inverted fill...
Hope you like it! :)
Check out the stencil version of this too, for a more rugged style...

Really excited to be able to share this fontstruction, as it was developed as the display font for a group exhibition in Dublin's Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. A kerned version (slightly tweaked using Glyphs) can be downloaded for free through the gallery website.

More fun with composite stacks, packing more detail into smaller grids. The crosshatching is made less regular by alternating and rotating a set of three four similar, yet distinct bricks. correction made on 2/15This is a clone of Fat Bit

A completely different design direction from my other fontstruction "Shadowman" & "Letterpress".

Inspired by caseycastille's Chinese Chairs, this started out as an exploration of optional letters for that font. Then I just doodled some repeating patterns. Then I saw how I can fill the patterns inside the letters. They fit together pretty easily for vertical letters, but diagonals were really tricky. The end product resembled Hawaiian leis draped over each glyph. Very floral. So there you have it. Flowers. For Casey. :)This is a clone

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.

A scaled back version of the original Fractal Font (fragment). Because of the self-similarity of the pattern, the two are virtually identical. For template I used Magor, with some modifications. Lower case only.

Inspired with neurone's font "AFT64 The Orgians" although it doesn't have any identical shapes or styles...
This is still incomplete. I'm going to finish it soon...
