A semibold Gongclonker made to the same specs as the original - 5x5 with no wasted matrix.

Futuristic folded outline design

art deco.

This font and tm Nibble started off as one. Both were different from what they have now become. The idea was to create a very heavy, minimal curves and angles to give a sense of the glyph.

It started with a plain N and a solid O. Making the E match either the N or the O resulted in deviation from the style just enough that it warranted a spin-off into a font of it's own. 

Some letters—such as G and H—proved quite difficult to match in the style of either. A slight angle shift resulted in a glyph that did not go with other glyphs. I kept trying different possibilities...and at some point decided to save the discarded option into another fs, which now contains more than 200 characters.

The teardrop counter in tm Byte forced a complete redraw of all glyphs at about 2× the size.

I am already working on two additional fonts that came out of this exercise...and it might yield more.

Experimental 24-segment display or massive monochrome Mondrian matrix. Pixel compatible!

The thinking behind this one was that with incongruously sized segments arranged in the proper way, I would create a design which was effectively 5x5, but which accomodated more glyphs than 5x5 usually does. Negative space is incorporated into the structure of many glyphs, though not enough to classify this as an IVO design.

"Qualtron" is the name of an imaginary entity that a friend believed in - a being meant to represent the result of "a mathematical equation that can rule the universe". I didn't inquire further about it... :D

Design Rules:

1. Segments can have interior length/width of 2 or 5.

2. The central 2x2 square must always remain open.

3. Square bricks and 90-degree angles only.

Original size: 20.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

This font started offline. It wasn't even supposed to be a font. I was just showing some students the value of a grid, even as tiny as 5×5 and the thousands of possibilities it generates. It led to making an 'a'. Of course, once that exercise was over, I had to continue making other letters. It's a compulsion. Sorry. The offline idea was slightly different. Compromises had to be made due to the limitation in place by the bricks available.

A decorative insular display font.

This is still a work in progress. I'm pushing the new bricks, stacking and nudging to the limit to create some nice flowing shapes. This is also a great opportunity to get working with some good kerning. Once I have the basic character set, this is going to be submitted to Google Fonts for approval.

This is a rendition of one of A. V. Hershey's dot fonts from his 1967 paper "Calligraphy for Computers", the "Cartographic" (sans-serif) font. This version only has the original Latin and Greek characters, map symbols, and some punctuation, and, like the original font, is missing the []{}@#$%& symbols.

Make the letters any width desired.

Type the uppercase letter for the left half of the letter, type an extender (or not), then type the same lowercase letter for the right half of the letter. The more extenders are inserted between the left and the right halves, the wider the letter becomes.

I and T are the exceptions where the extenders are typed before and after the left and right halves and not inbetween.

The other exceptions are M and W which have been split into 3 and extenders are added between the left, middle and right thirds.

? is split between ? and /

Extenders are located at    @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) and _

How to extend:

A@@a, B##b, C$$c, D$$d, E##e, F%%f, G$$g, H^^h, &&Ii&&, J**j or J**$$j, K^^k, L**l, M(({((m, N((n, O$$o, P@@p, Q$$q, R%%r, S##s, (((Tt))), U**u, V**v, W**}**w, X^^x, Y^^y, Z__z, ?@@/

Work-in-Progress …

G1 Recoil. It's like a vibrating pixel font. It's got like one strand most of the time. 

G1 Counterfade. Its got faded halftoned counters. Who would've thought.

A last minute countercomp entry, taking a deco design and surrounding the glyphs with greater and lesser facsimiles

A classical option with a new point of view (the scrape). The LC is different to make more legible the pairs of equals glyphs like FF, TT, CC, OO, EE... IBYP because I'm kerning a lot of them.  

Very stressful assembly of bricks, I thought I would not finish it on time. Uff! Some glyphs are still expecting to be included in the font. WIP, and kerning.

A funky idea that started with the A and expanded from there. Most letters are drawn by a single line winding around, although some are just not willing to follow this mantra. I found this half-finished while scrolling through my private FontStructions, looking for ideas for the CounterComp, and decided it was already an interesting entry :-)

There's an alternate, narrow set of numbers that can be reached with Shift+number (on a QWERTY, Dvorak, etc. layout); not sure which set fits the style better. Suggestions and critiques welcome for anything, and feel free to clone and poke around with it. Thanks and enjoy!

my entry into countercomp

a font for when you want to be brutally serious and to the point

The counters in breach overlap the outlines of their glyphs and extend beyond them. x-height: 3 bricks

The idea is to represent counters with arrows. Letters with closed counters (e.g. D,P ) were first opened and only afterwards were represented by arrows.

Fluid simulator. Author too lazy to do lowercase.

This might be called a "negative counter" design. Alternative 'Y' is on 'y'. Countercomp entry 2.
