Cleaning out the queue. I can't believe this one has been sitting in here for *gulp* eight months! I figure if I don't kick it out now, then it will sit here sequestered for another eight.
The title is inspired by my struggles to space this one properly.
A work in progress. Taking any and all feedback - especially for spacing.
Works best at specific sizes. Enjoy.This is a clone

My name is Geostruct Grotesque and I'm a typeface. I love grotesque and gothic type fonts, particularly with vertical exaggeration; so I set out with this in mind and here's the result. Love Trade Gothic & Univers Condensed.

Based on the lettering on the front of the 1978 edition of the Scoutmaster's Handbook. Since the original sample only contained "ABCDEHKMNORSTU-", I had to design the rest from scratch.

Traditional half-tone printing screen effect. Spaces between letters have small dots, so does the space (bar).

This is the result of my frustration of never getting capital A's with diagonals steep enough to go all the way down without getting way too wide: A tall font with 2x1 grid stretch, with - guess what - a capital A whose diagonals aren't steep enough to go all the way down without being too wide... Well, whatever! :P
Maybe somebody likes it anyway!

I've added a side shadow to Prometheus Regular. The inspiration was a typeface from the French type foundry Peignot. Identified as "No. 1229" in their Lettres Fantaises of 1896, it sports a very fine side shadow, which I've attempted to re-create here. (I found the "No. 1229" sample on Hoefler & Frere-Jones' blog - fifth image from the top.)This is a clone

The Chesterfield Royal Family was formed from my desire to add new weights to the original Chesterfield typeface. In the process of drawing these new weights, I began modifying some of the forms of the new glyphs away from the original Chesterfield glyphs in order to build a more flexible brick/grid structure for the development of various weights. The most noticeable difference between these three new faces and the original is the lowered x-height. That said, there are still some compromises between the different weights and because of that I've given them these royalty names instead of the normal practice of light, regular, and bold weight names. One of the biggest compromises occurs in the Prince weight, where I was unable to add the notch where bowls and shoulders meet stems (see King and Queen weights) without adding too much extra black weight to those parts of the glyph.
A work in progress for sure. Any help/thoughts/repulsions/bile appreciated.

Clone of Prometheus Light (Basic Set), which is based on condensed Grecian typefaces by Darius Wells and William Hamilton Page. Many Grecian wood type samples lack lower case characters or numerals (or both!)... hence my sampling of different sources.This is a clone

A cross-dressing Compacta. It seems every time a design with a gazillion bricks fails to save (slantfest)I just have to knock off one that uses as few bricks as I can manage. So far both of these "harrumph" reactions have turned out pretty well.
Is this telling me something....?

I.K. Bonset was the pseudonym that Theo van Doesburg used to publish Dada poetry in his magazine De Stijl.
This FontStruction is loosely based on van Doesburg's alphabet of 1919. I have not followed his strict grid of 25 x 25 (unlike Freda Sack and David Quay's revival, Architype Van Doesburg, or P22's De Stijl Regular) -- in other words, some of my caps and numerals deviate from van Doesburg's original design. Also, I've added a lower case and diacritics (which I am currently updating).
