simple cursive pixel font

capitals are for connecting after a letter with a stroke ending on the median

real capitals are at unicode spaces 0040-007E

A cursive-esque font, quite fun to design. Please enjoy

A wicked track-looking font with every letter at least has a 180-degree-flip pair. Perfect for ambigram.

" ( " for left line cap

" ) " for right line cap

"space" for extending the line 

A cursive pixel font, made in an 8x8 grid like the Nintendo Entertainment System's fonts.

I saw the logo for tramplin.tv [pictured below] a loooong time ago and was fascinated by it. It used to live on my computer desktop so I can look at it frequently. Even thought to redo it in fontstruct but...just looking at it, it was clear it wasn't doable...at least back then. At some point, the image was moved off to some other to-be-filed folder, and eventually I forgot about it.

I found it again the other day while hunting for some other file.

It was still fascinating. And in the meantime, fontstruct had grown up considerably (Thanks, Rob!). It was time to attempt doing it.

Well, kicked my ass, didn't it.

It seems so simple: One diagonal that goes from one letter to another in smooth transition, bisected by a different angle diagonals. No. Easy in concept, killer in making the geometry work of 2×1 diagonals to 1×4 diagonals.

No matter what thickness of diagonals were selected and whatever the gaps were left, the angles would not line up at some point or another. Which was confusing as 2 goes into 4 exactly 2 times, so things should have lined up without complication. I remembered, many years ago kix used Transparent Windows utility to make the browser transparent so he could trace silhouetted figures for one of his brilliant fs. Even tried tracing. Nope. After many failed attempts, had to break out Illustrator to better visualize the grid and diagonal guides of my own.

[See picture below]

Figuring out the geometry was much simpler in Ai. Found out where I was going wrong. First attempt at doing a and m and making them line up worked like a charm. From then on, it was just a matter of doing the glyphs. Some of them were simple to execute; others like e and c and especially z were quite difficult...at least for my limited intelligence.

Anyway, here it is.

Is it a blackletter? Is it a sans serif?  Or perhaps a script? Why not mix all of them together?! Like love, there would be a 'mixed feeling' of hate, happiness and romance. This typeface reflects the many aspects of what love would incorporate: The harsh angles of the blackletter, the simple satisfation of a sans serif, and the curvaceous links of a script.

This is the second published gaelic font on FS, I think.

Another marker-style experiment, this time with inktraps. The grid size makes for many difficulties, so some characters could be better (S, Z, e, x, etc.). Suggestions are very welcome for these glyphs, or any others. Thanks and enjoy!
UPDATES:
5/16/14 S, Z, f, x, 2, $ and accents were tweaked by nudging. V1.1
1/30/15 The old, un-beautiful e and 7 have been fixed. Still looking for a solution for the 2. Also added Œ and œ. V1.2

6/7/16 Adjusted the 2 again; still not perfect, but better than before. Also narrowed the 7. V1.3
