The purpose of this tutorial font is to show all possible brick combinations that can be used to make a composite, both vertically and horizontally, plus the 3 squares. There are a maximum of 16 total bricks allowed (plus any
spaces, see below), but a composite may contain as few as 2 bricks. Please note that the square combinations of [2×2], [3×3] and [4×4] are duplicated in both the vertical and horizontal sets.
Empty spaces *also* count toward the maximum number of allowed bricks, but due to the numerous possible combinations, composites that include empty spaces are not included here. Simply recognize that you CAN make composites with empty spaces in them, and when bordered by bricks, empty spaces WILL be included in your total composite count...
For example: in the first set of vertical composites [1×2] to [1×16], there are ~1.789 × 10^40 possible combinations that can be generated from the current brick sets (Core set = 241 bricks + Connect set = 86 bricks) plus empty spaces.
And for the simplest composites that can be made -- either [1×2] or [2×1] -- there are 106,929 unique composites (327×327) that can be made for each direction, vertical or horizontal.
It is HIGHLY recommended that you clone this font and use the outline feature to view the resulting composite structures: activate Expert Mode, then use the Keyboard Shortcut "O" to toggle the Outline Mode on and off.
Once a composite is created, don't forget that you may also ERASE bricks from it in a process called "padding." This can help you remove bricks along an edge or corner(s) of your composite. The following links explain composites in greater detail:
As I recently mentioned to another FontStructor, composites are an EXTREMELY powerful tool when creating fonts. However, the trick in creating them effectively is that you must not only consider HOW you want the resulting brick to look in the end, but also have the foresight to plan which bricks you may need to INCLUDE -- then subsequently ERASE -- from your composite brick to achieve you goal.
Good luck, and Happy FontStructing! :^)
WihiibiFuturistakan is a Computer Font.
A Good Font and Best Font Ever!
If you ever heard of name "WihiibiFuturistakan," means futuristic in Armenian, data in Amharic.
═════════════════════New changes══════════════════════
• Added: Caq̂ir, Some Cyrillic Lowercase. Revised:
• Added: Shidinn and Some cyrillic glyphs. Revised: Lowercase Cyrillic Dzwe. I have plans to add Caq̂ir and Church Creadhj Latin.
• Added Ogham, Accent on H with hacek, Remade glyphs to look more like Dylacomputer, Added More Skooeian (Скуи'ан)
• New letters for compatibility with Unifon, and Shidinn (unifon sh will be in latin ext. D because wikimedia says so) (shidinn is only caps ATM)
• Added and revised some glyphs
• New glyphs for compatibility with North Bing Chilling & New English
• Added some Cyrillic Lowercase (Finishing cyrillic lowercase)*

This font won't consist of all Unicodes.
I Can't comment nor clone, so Current answer to a comment:
(I'm ignoring Dukir because he is a commenter i think)
@Legendarytypo Justov? Laggy? Check out Lagginess!
@Kyyle 3~4 months to be exact. The font still isn't finished.
Starfield & Stripes Copyright 2014 - 2020 Doug Peters. Stars & Stripes composite version. Composite placeholder of a layered font family, where the star background field is on one layer, the stars are on another layer, stripes on another, a background on yet another, and maybe eventually an outline font. There are other possibilities, as well. Each glyph is (of course) the same width as the corresponding glyph in any of the other layers, so that when you duplicate the final edit for a text layer, you simply change the new duplicated layer's font to the chosen layer and then select all and chose your color. This way you can have white stars on navy starfield with red stripes over a white background and a golden outline. The outline font can be placed underneath for a thin shadow outline, or over all the fonts for a thick, bold outline. And of course, you can choose your own color for each font and only use the layered fonts you want to.
This font reflects the design of the characters with the starfield design & stripes design font layers, and can act as a placeholder for the layered fonts (and has also been nudged over to clear a spot for the outline layer). Glyphs are the same width and use the exact same kerning.
Another leap toward the elusive subtractive Boolean.
Each character consists of nine bricks arranged in a 3 x 3, filtered and scaled, composite-stack matrix. Insane levels of smooth detail result.
This filtered, subtractive stacking technique extends those first published here.
Enjoy a private clone to grok my unknown approach. The possibilities are endless...
A winning, small-matrix rendition of this super-elliptical monoline sans. If you’d like, please enjoy a private clone to tour the brand-spankin’ new interiors.
I embraced innovation at the expense of imperfection with faux-curve composite stacks. These custom bricks are used to resolve the most glaring proportion issues besetting version 1 (and 2’s) capitals. I risk intermittent aliasing as well as potential inconsistencies in both curvature and stroke contrast. Yet these composite-stack discontinuities (A,C,D,G,J,O,Q,S,U,V) marry unexpectedly well with the extensively used macaroni bricks and remain themselves smooth up to an impressive 72pt.
Manual kerning leaves a lot of room for improvement. The alternates are included mostly for curiosity’s sake. Another work in progress with samples to follow. Feedback is always very appreciated; thanks in advance for it! :)
This is a clonePlease enjoy a private clone to see how I dealt with contrast, curves, bracketing, variable letter width and the difficult-to-achieve emboldening of the capitals’ vertical strokes within a minimal fontstruct matrix (and If you like what you see, please download for personal usage and vote kindly! :)
Intaglio’s amazing recent work makes similar strides (see the excellent rounds, for example), offering a solution before me to several of these long-standing impasses of the medium.
More characters to come... :)
