Neon-style lettering in 5x5. I tried to keep the considerations of neon tubes in mind. Most forms are simple and several of them get repurposed for other glyphs. Further, the bends which would occur in actual neon tubing were taken into account while routing each glyph.

A closer look will find some advanced glyphs which would have to be produced by a master glassblower in order to work as neon fixtures (such as DHJKXOQ08*#+).

This is spaced like a pixel font so that it can be used as one. Fonts which work especially well in both pixel and high-res mediums can be considered Hybrids.

"Lightened Son" is an anagram for "Neon Delights".

Idea for Improvement: A wiring solution - some system designed to be on a layer behind the letters so that they look convincingly wired up.

Squareish halftone patterns on a square grid.

(Use "_" for the blank grid.)

A big hulking Brutalist design.

Original size: 19pt

X marks the spots! It's friendly-looking, despite being built from things usually used as cautionary symbols. This is a property which I also perceive in many of the sprites and setpieces of the "Metal Slug" video game. Hmm... maybe I should Fontstruct some actual Metal Slug fonts!

This works as a pixel font, but only at 2x the original size or more because of the close spacing. Smaller sizes will create distortion unless you modify the spacing in-software.

Just an octagonal sans-serif design that I kept working on here and there.

"Are ya EVIL?" - Racer X, "Evil Joe"

More kerning, diacritics, and all that fun stuff soon...

A semi-bold Diabolicious. It is the same width and size as the original!

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

Recommended: Use with kerning turned ON!

Pixel gothic somethingorother. Diabolical + Malicious = Diabolicious.

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

Recommended: Use with kerning turned ON!

Semibold version of Nobody's Treasure. Most glyphs have the same width as before, and the overall width of the font is the same.

24-segment display. This one belongs to a small family called Calculatrix.

Like Calculatrix 12, this one is spaced so that every segment appears in its proper place, as if the text were being rendered on one giant display. (If using this in your own software, you will want to check the line spacing as it can vary depending on the software.)

I suppose this font could be used for weaving or embroidery work, as well... it has that look about it...

TIP: Try zooming out while already at Pixel size!

An experimental 12-segment display, and my 100th published Fontstruction. It's the calculator of yesterday's future!

This one belongs to a small family called Calculatrix.

This font is monospaced to ensure segments are always where they "should" be (as if the text were printed on one giant display).

A star font which combines a pixelated look with halftone shading.

It needs some form of antialiasing to be legible at small sizes. (See sample below or try the Pixel views). At larger sizes, you can use it with or without antialiasing!

Original size: 12pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A connected script which attempts to depict an obvious ductus or flow to the writing. It sometimes has a struck-through appearance, as if the writer's quill has an economical, then overzealous movement.

To set this one apart even more from my others, I built the capitals on a 6x6 grid. :^)

Looks best at sizes that are multiples of 5.25pt! 10.5pt, 15.75pt, 21pt, etc. work great!

The name comes from yet another old joke band. What can I say, I've done more musical side projects than I have fonts!

(See "Vapid Radness" if you want a more convincing cursive script.)

Based on square glyphs from the past and a few modern styles of eastern scripts.

Brush script, art deco, classic engraving, three genera of gothic (sans serif, blackletter, and ancient alphabet!), runic, hieroglyphic, and yet still some futuristic tendencies all informed me. But do they blend?

The handwritten quality of a broad-nibbed pen or skillfully wielded marker provides the binding agent. An emulsion of all these influences, it is at once all and none. Even the strict modularity begins to melt into the background. Yet so distinctly fontstruct...This is a clone
