Collection of linear-interpolated circle attempts, or simply faux-Bezier circles and other curvature related materials.

This toolset basically is collection of pre-made fake circles and curves in numerous different sizes to make ones workflow easier. It could also simply serve as a educative tool that demonstrates the basic FontStruct technique used for making fake curves and circles.

Initially I intended this to be much more complete, but it is simply too much work, and would take forever to get published at once.

Please don't expect this to be perfect, a lot gets fairly close to the "real-deal".

But keep in mind that they remain raw approximations of their true Bezier counterparts. I will try to improve whatever is needed as time progresses, as well as most likely add more stuff.

I hope you like it so far,

Feel free to copy, re-use, improve or even destroy!

enjoy!

Remember the Unown from Pokémon? WELL THEY'RE BACK AND THEY'RE PISSED

Because of the minimalist nature of the design, many glyphs resemble each other.

Sweet Alley is a boxy font set with ombre shading in the Uppercase and no ombre in the lowercase. All using circles to construct the font.

Pixel demake of pohang station by time.peace. Just for fun!

This started as an alien sci-fi font, but early in its development I realized it looked a lot like "pohang station". So I ended up shelving my own ideas to create this demake.

Another 2x2 doodle. :^)

Pixelated demake of Nirvanite Fossil. It introduces more size variation than its predecessors, and proves even harder to read. The size variation was necessary to prevent these sprites from being too large and to make them more unique from the glyphs in Nirvanite Fossil.

Original size: 25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Alternate take on Nirvanite, this time with bullseyes rather than solid circles as the large segments.

This one is a lot more organic than its predecessor, but also a lot more confusing. Looks like clusters of alien tadpole eggs to me!

Am Just trying this...

Pixel demake of "Circlets".

Experimental mosaic... or maybe a new mineral species?

This one started as a doodle. I began placing circles to see what kinds of complex shapes I could make, and this was the result.

It achieves a new visual effect at almost every size up to the original. Also try slowly moving the zoom slider for some interesting animations!

This font is now nearly 1MB in size! I guess it has to do with the intrinsic complexity of circles.

A written court language used by Ashrians on Bysonce Island, Planet Ashr in my video game Endless Sea of Stars. This one is used for public court documents, and its brother language Calystiphos Hand is used for private documents and old government records.

These glyphs could be considered a form of shorthand unto themselves, since each court stenographer has its own way of writing these down and its own way of abbreviating or embellishing them. Through knowledge of these glyphs, and their accompanying interpretation, one can surmise all of the important proceedings and notes.

*

Common methods for stenographers to alter these glyphs involve:

- Adding/removing quadrants

- Crossing out one or more elements in colored ink

- Drawing connecting lines between points within one or more quadrants

- Inscribing shorthand or marginalia within negative spaces

- Marking or coloring within the central circle

- Shading via different means (scribbling, crosshatching, or with colors)

- Rotating a quadrant upon its own axis

It's important to note that stenographers also often write (either in Royal Bysoncian, Sea Bysoncian or Voktlandish) in accompaniment with these symbols. The idea is for each stenographer to come up with a system of encoding that works for it. Eudastiphos Hand could thus be considered an amalgamate, interlingual cipher built from other Ashrian languages.

In terms of communication systems which exist on Earth, this is most readily compared to Nsibidi.

Continuing on the theme of choosing a regular shape and making an alphabet out of it.

Looks best at smaller sizes (<24pt) and with antialiasing/ClearType turned on.

Can this be done better with filters? Probably, but I still have to learn those... :D

An attempt to make low-resolution, circled letters without the use of filters. Reminds me of branding irons or stencils. The name is based on a friend's joke about lost marbles. :^)

TIP: This one looks best at smaller sizes (24pt or less) and with antialiasing/ClearType turned on!

Listening to cricket matches I saw a lot of trajectories in my mind when commentators discussed the balls' flight paths and where they landed, of some incredible bowling.

What a great inspiration for my first entry for the ReverseComp.

Maximum rectangle size is 16x20. The LC contains the flipped reversed UC.

I see many white-in-black designs coming in, I'm adding to them as we don't see this type very often ;)

I think that I managed to give the "impression" of those occasional graphics displayed in cricket, football, tennis and other ball-based sports (it might be hawk-eye linked) that show where balls have originated from or to predict/illustrate their continuation.

A blank space is on the underscore, a filled space on the space bar.

Numerals and very basic punctuation are done :)

this is a pixelated version of a font I previously handwrote that you can find here along all my other fonts
