A TRUE HAND WRITTEN font.
No two letters are the same, or use any of the same brick configurations.
From my very own hand using an Edding 5.0 Calligraphy pen.
Only the upper case is available for now. Due to a heavy work load this week, and several non-starter comp entries, I've unfortunately been unable to fully complete the lowercase and numerals. :-(
Hope you like it.
All comment and crits appreciated.

A burly wood type design kickin’ up some dust on the old trail. This is an all caps corral – however some unicase and rough & tumble alternates seem to have stowed away in the back of them there parts.

A sort of blackletter with no historical references. 0 is meant for layering of the drop-caps. It needs extended latin characters and diacritics, but you can typeset Latin with it! :-)This is a clone

Digitally hand-scribbled over a hand-drawn typeface. Do not try this with your regular font making software. Blank scribbles on the spacebar. Lowercase has tighter spacing on characters A, F, L, T, V, W, Y, etc. Terminal zaps on the parentheses. Center-faded scribbles on the brackets. Square-faded scribbles on the braces. This is a clone

The adhesive black tape is good for plumbing and many other things. Add to us and type with it, it's cheap and funny.

Keeping to the sewing theme. I designed this to look like letters that have been either weaved, stitched, or screen printed onto the fabric to create a patchwork quilt effect.
This seems to work best using a sack cloth effect.
Although it works equally as well as a wire fence/ chequered steel/ tread plate / diamond plate flooring effect. In an ideal world there would be more empty weaves at the top and bottom of each character. I would also prefer a different style Q.
Due to comp rules I have had to omit the lower case, and others, as this just squeezes into the 32 pixel height limit.
All comments and criticism appreciated.

This is created to look funny, hand made. It took a lot of time to create. I had very ambitious plans for the Handcomp. but I got into some important work and this is my only entry for handcomp. Hope this does not break the mortar. (other glyphs will be created after the handmadecomp) comment/suggestions are welcome.This is a clone

A scripty, disjointed-looking font that is actually based on my handwriting. However, it is a little more legible. I must say that I am more proud of the lower-case letters than the upper. Please rate and comment!

Fresh baked. [Not inspired by Nike®]

Each character is max. 32 grid blocks tall. However, the total height of the fontstruction exceeds that. Couldn't be helped; the curves just make it so. Maybe that disqualifies it from the competition, which is OK, but the design had to take precedence over the rules.

This fs has been in the works for a while and was not specifically begun for the handmadecomp. It started off quite crude...and evolved into the baroque-ness over time. With all the shape possibilities, it may never be 'done' done.

A font based on my handwriting. This took ages to make (but was a good relaxant from all my studies cuz now is exam period >.<). It came as a surprise how grotesque my handwriting was -- in all meanings of the word. BTW (in case you didn't know) the name is derived from the word 'ambidextrous'.

An approximation of handwriting using a Sharpie. 2 x 2 filters with lots of composites and stacks.

This one evolved as I was working on it. Originally intended to be a slab serif using the new bricks but no filters, stacks, or composite bricks. I found that the letters looked cooler when some of their shapes were implied. If I can get around to stencilling this, I'll enter it in the handmade competition.

Just a version that is 32 brick high if the rules say about a maximum size of the whole fontstruction, NOT each character. It's my second font for the Handmade Competition. Clone of http://fontstruct.fontshop.com/fontstructions/show/375271. EDIT: I'm going to keep this font, even though I have found Rob's comment about a height limit in the post on the competition. He said that the height limit refers to characters not to the font, so my concerns didn't confirm. This is a clone of Plastelina

It is supposed to look like pushpins and string. The uppercase contains each glyph with pushpin and string. The lowercase contains just the pushpins to make it easier to change the color of the pins by overlaying. For the numbers, the number contains the pins and string, while SHIFT+number contains just the pins.

Plastelina is a some kind of modelling clay. Kids love it (or love to smear it everywhere they can). Plastelina is the same thing as Plasticine, but we don't use it as a brand name in Poland. I hope I've counted the height properly... And I hope they didn't mean "height over the baseline" or "height of the whole fontstruction"... All characters are lowercase, except for "a" and "l" because it didn't look very well. My first entry out of 3. What a great combo - handmade looking face and handmade sample!
