By request, a "junk font". Looks pointy, glitchy, fuzzy, janky, grungy, burned, rusty, distressed by power tools, or some superposition of ONE OF THESE OR MORE, depending on the size used and the rendering effects (antialiasing, smoothing, etc).

Rather than force the letters into convincing classical forms, I focused on making sure each letter was thoroughly scrambled. This design could in theory be used with an image-recognition script in order to be put to cryptographic uses... the result would be fun, but not very efficient or crackproof. UC is the same as LC, at least for now.

The original brick-of-bricks is located on ".". This is the template from which the other glyphs were made.

Design Rules:

1. Up to 25 distinct bricks from the palette may be used in the overall construction.

2. Each glyph will incorporate a heterogeneous mix of these bricks.

3. Bricks may not be flipped, rotated, stacked or composited.

A variant of Radio Grave which took many hours to produce. I think the effort was worth it! This is a functional Multi-font and can produce a broad range of effects, especially when used at down near the original size.

*

Shading Rules:

1. Use the darkest tone on the outermost concentric region and get lighter as one progresses inward.

2. Let the 5x5 region surrounding the exact center of each glyph use the lightest tone, except when this would place the lightest tone into its neighboring region.

3. Glyphs with diagonals and glyphs which use a smaller than 5x5 drawing area may bend rule 2 for the sake of more consistent and/or interesting shading.

Original size: 12.75pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

Experimental font doodle made with the pizza slice brick. It reminds me of the keeled scales of a viper.

This creates many distinct visual effects depending on size and coloring!

Fuzzy Logic, but the darkest halftone has been replaced with a copy of the lightest.

The bands in the overlapping regions are artifacts of the FS preview. They don't show up when the font is used elsewhere. However, any size which is not a multiple of the original can create a different type of banding... I recommend using this at larger sizes...

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)

Halftone patterns on a square grid. Gives me a "crime lab" feeling for some reason. Maybe it's the resemblance to frosted glass...
