A pretty simple fontstruction on its own. It only comes to life when layered with other fontstructions from the Institutional family (Elements is available now with further additions coming soon); see samples. This fontstructions attempts to further two quests: to have a font almost completely solid (without sacrificing legibility, i.e.) and to find new ways pixel-level coloring without coloring each pixel.
Disclaimer: No attempt is made to copy/reproduce any existing type design or coloring technique. Any resemblance to existing fonts or fontstructions or coloring technique is purely coincidental and displays the designers inability to unlearn intentional or accidental knowledge gained in the past, either visual or technical.

Brick is a typeface created in response to a university brief. We were asked to based our work on the word 'repetition' and so began looking at brickwork in architecture. In order to create the letterforms I sculpted each character from rectangular 'bricks' in a subtractive process, wasting as little as possible.

Although build from scratch, AUGHT should really appear as a clone of ought because the idea is the same, just a different execution. Some glyphs came together fairly easy (A B C etc.), others took some doing (T Y S), some just don't work out well (G P Q Z), and some worked too well (I J).

This was fun to do.
---Not liking the e and the s so much. ---While doing the sample, I found that even though the inter-character spacing is specifically set to one grid space wide, Photoshop was rendering the spacing differently per character pair. Same in Illustrator. Curious, I opened it in FontLab Studio. Turns out, the characters that have a half-wide brick left of the left edge in FontStruct are another half-brick-width over in the TrueType file. The sample is, therefore, manually kerned back to original.

greek and cyrillic shaping up;

[update April, 2013:: The basic latin set has morphed into a new gothic sans design thanks to a host of solutions enabled by the new propeller bricks.]

(Maybe you've noted i'm a little lazy...)
Well, temporalifont is just improvisation. Is the image of a font under constrution all the time. Almost no metrics, no measure.
I recomend you to use it as caps only, however I added some characters that you can use for create anothers. You can also edit it if my laziness made some imprecisions. It's all. Hope you enjoy it!

Hunstrüct is my first attempt at designing a contemporary blackletter typeface within Fontstruct. The typeface draws inspiration from the long tradition of German Fraktur styled blackletters. The name Hunstrück is taken from a mountain range in Germany called the Hunsrück. Primarily I was aiming to build a face that would work well as a display type for gig posters and larger headlines but as I reworked the typeface I tried to strike a balance between text and display.
Big thanks goes to djnippa for his hard work in spacing this font properly.

First of a family of minimalist fonts meant to be used in childish contexts, IR Playground Block is based on P22 Constructivist Block (sample in the discussion section), but it was simplified here. See also IR Playground Cut and IR Playground Ball.

Definitely turned out weirder than expected, but well... Sometimes you just can't control your creations.;)
And yes, this definitely needs some refinements. Especially the name.:D Any suggestions?

A second contribution to the Crouwel's fonts replicas. This one was also inspired by a poster, for an exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (picture in the comments section). I thought it had never been reproduced before, until I came across edgar fernhout by funk_king. Next time I'll search on Fonstruct before I start a new font but, well, we have both good taste... I take the opportunity to thank the fonstructors who introduced me to Crouwel's work.

Version 2.2 has improvements to the capital o and q as well as the dollar sign.
Version 2.1 has more Latin characters and more punctuation. Also, there are a few modifications to character widths. The old letter designs were almost monospaced. The new varied widths should help with character recognition even at smaller sizes.
This is a FontStruct version of the type I designed for my identity. This translation seemed like a logical one. My original concerns for my identity type were modularity, proportion and weight. These characteristics make both the inspiration and its FontStruct cousin perfect for bold headlines and being extruded in 3D.
Stay tuned for further updates.This is a clone

Don´t trust the preview, take a look at the Example! Dedicated to the marvellous DJ Shadow. This is another contemporary Display-Font I created using the Brick-Size-Filters (adjusted at 1.75). It´s not a 3D-Font, or a puzzle or a construction plan, but I think it´s a very consistent typeface:-) Hope you like it, please write a comment if you have any suggestions. More letters to come.

A fun little typeface that I sketched out on some grid paper. With the exception on "M" and "W," the letters are contained within a 2x5 grid.
