HeavyComp entry

my entry in heavycomp

i should really take a break from 2x2 filters

ligatures in the private use area (i will port this to opentype when it's finished)

wip, just wanted to make this public for now. scripts include latin, tifinagh, and later, greek. more updates to come soon

an attempt was made to create a didone typeface

weird 'a, c, e, f, g, k, r, s, t, v, w, x, y' and more because why not

inspired by droulers and the works of alex slobzheninov

wip, just wanted to publish this for now

Inspired by the shapes of G1 Decoreus. Vertical serifs only (not sure if that makes sense, but seems to work)

This is my first FontStruction while currently studying graphic design at Bristol UWE. This font was born from the theme of ‘hope’ and that we are hopefull for the future. I looked at lots of different material for insperation, inculding film posters, furteristic clothing and computer games. I developed the high contrast version after the standard weight, after being inspired by a font called ‘Noe Display’.

Paperfold is a decorative typeface that is based on geometrical shapes and forms, imitating the paper folding technique. 

This typeface features a condensed, modern and clean block look. Ideal for sporty, festive, adventurous design themes. 

For the uppercase letters and symbols, most of it has a fold for every curve. While the lowercase letters and numbers, each first line has the fold imitation only, and the rest of the lines curve smoothly.

The typeface can also be converted to outline which features a maze-like appearance. 

A font made so that both rows and columns of letters can run into each other and form a continuous chain.

Font made for a friend's band.

By request, a semibold outline font with a halftone drop shadow. Although Pixel Optimized, it's made for large size display.

IT'S-A ME, IMPRESARIO!

By request, a high-contrast, blocky connected-outline font. This will be used in some Roblox mods.

A few glyphs are a bit quirky compared to the rest (DQ7?= and any glyph with a median line). The requestor wanted them that way.

A pixel art galaxy. 27*27 canvasses.

There are 12 distinct fonts lurking within this one. Spot 'em all and win a FREE Nothing!

Original size: 20.25pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

I add new art to this whenever I get more ideas. But I don't want the legend to be any longer than it is, so I leave the others for you to discover on your own.

Variant of Ninevolt with the extraneous squares blacked out.

A slightly leafy engraving-style Decolike.

More multiline Romanesque doodle thing.

By request, a condensed and quirky outline font!

Original size: 7.5pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

A font with a vague "selected text", "telegraphed message" or "hacker terminal" feeling about it. Seems like something that would be in a video game or creepypasta...

Some kind of great big ol' chain.

In retrospect, I think it looks like a jewelry chain from a dwarven civilization. Perhaps the hypothetical jeweler cut and ground the stones in an imitation of some dwarven font!

When glyphs are used in isolation, they somewhat resemble carved signets or seals. Increasing the letter spacing allows you to create a variation of the design. (This is something that must be done in-software since the font will render as monospaced by default.)

12SEP2018: Added lowercase... the low resolution combined with the design method make it very difficult to render distinctive lowercase versions of every letter, but I'll keep working on it. There's a lot of similarity between pairs like S/5, Z/2, etc., so this font is most effectively used in forms of writing wherein context suffices to inform the reader as to the identity of each glyph (lists, prose, and technical writings). If you want to use this in a password system or something, I recommend using one case's glyphs only.

Design Rules:

1. Negative spaces will be areas of 0.5 bricks' effective length or width.

2. Negative spaces may exceed the 0.5 measurement only by increments of 0.5 and in only one dimension at a time.

3. Glyphs will fill their framed canvasses to the greatest extent possible while adhering to the other rules.

A minimized Minishark. How does that make it Mega? Well it's MEGA COOL.

I think this is the first 5x5 connected-outline design on FS!

An experiment to see if 3x3 fonts are more legible when drawn in negative space. I consider this to be not only a success, but also the most readable 3x3 design I have seen - particularly the uppercase.

The successors Megashark and S.D.M.G. are more useable and more stylish respectively, while Minishark strikes a good balance. 

This is considered an E3x3 because, while it's created in a 5x5 grid, it has an effective drawing area of only 3x3. The outermost square only has pixels drawn in it when the interior design dictates such.

Some puzzling boxes, indeed! These are named for Lemarchand, maker of the puzzle box which appeared in the movie series "Hellraiser". 

This design has a variety of textures and optical illusions up its sleeve. See the sample for a few of them.

Original size: 47pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A 7x7 outline design which is made to form solid-looking masses from the glyphs while still allowing the outer perimeters of words to take on some unique shapes.

Original size: 5.25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Font made for the logo of a particular project/video game of mine.

Some kerning pairs are imperfect... I can only bring them 10 bricks closer together, so a bit of space remains...

Current Version: 1.9

Portable Vengeance in negative. A few glyphs (such as "Q") were truncated for the grid.

Rather than spacing this so the blocks form a continuous reel, as I usually do, I decided to let things be a bit spaced out. This makes the font much better at attracting attention. And, since this is made to show system messages in games and consoles, it works out!

Marengi inverted and made to look like it's on a tape or reel. This is used in videos for captions and in games to produce a "caution tape" or "police tape" effect. Uppercase Only!

"Mythical Bursts" is an anagram of "Bismuth Crystal". The design is inspired by said crystals as well as Mayan/Aztec carvings (or at least, the comparatively simple forms they have in popular media) and sgraffito art in which a surface is scratched off to reveal a contrasting material underneath.

12SEP2018: I've edited every glyph in order to disconnect the letterforms from their enclosing shapes. This makes the font much more readable and consistent.
