This work is based on M.C. Escher's woven ribbon motifs, 1938, 1942. He's made wooden stamps for the basic motifs, and rotated and combined them to create fantastic woven fabric patterns. I've simply taken his idea a step further using combinatorics. Please note, this is a Fontstruct rendering, and as such may differ from the original.
Complete Sheikah Alphabet from Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Includes J, Q, Hyphen, Exclamation Mark, Digits, Vertical Line, Period and Question Mark.
Exact thickness, angles and spacing.
(The "Period" and "Question Mark" characters are never used in game and only appear in the game files. The "Vertical Line" character only appear in the "gyro" controls in "apparatus" shrines and is not otherwise listed in the file that list all other characters. It is not known if those characters should be considered cut/scrapped and if they are canon or not.)

This font has been superseded by the following (it's identical but you can also change characters to their "pins" variant if you put them in "bold"):

Updated March 5, 2017: The Hyrule Compendium in game shows that that was believed to be digits 1-5 (pins) is actually digits 0-4. Also, it shows that pins are actually in inverted colors.
Updated April 4, 2017: Added a dummy character so that a line spacing of 1.0 will not juxtapose glyphs vertically (a minimal white space will be kept).
Updated April 11, 2017: A datamining of the game reaveals that what was believed to be the "Space" and "Period" characters are actually the "Hyphen" and "Exclamation Mark". Also, the "Period" and "Question Mark" do exist in the game files but are never used in game. Source: spriters-resource.com/wii_u/thelegendofzeldabreathofthewild

Alternate take on Nirvanite, this time with bullseyes rather than solid circles as the large segments.
This one is a lot more organic than its predecessor, but also a lot more confusing. Looks like clusters of alien tadpole eggs to me!
This is a clone of NirvaniteThis is a attempt at starting another collaborative FontStruct community project to thank for a decade of FontStruct's web application and pay homage to its creator, Rob Meek.
The first initiative for a community collab fontstruction originally came from fellow user Funk_King, and resulted in FS Collaboration 1. A second round of creative collaborations was proposed by Geneus1, which resulted in World of Thanks. Two exceptional expressions of gratitude towards each responsible for making the FontStruct web application available, featuring contributions by various community members.
Now, more than 9 years after the second round World of Thanks was published and (sadly) had last seen activity, I thought It would be a great idea to celebrate a fontastic decade under the belt of FontStruct.
Therefor I'd like to propose a third round of creative collaborations.
This is an opportunity for all users who have missed out the first two rounds, and say 'Thank You' for the awesome, worlds most accessible, freely available font creation application, that is FontStruct.
All credits for this concepts originallity should go to Funk_King, as it was his brainchild, and I most likely would've never came up with it myself.
==========================
Guidelines are fairly simple (but could possibly change at a later stage)
1.) Send a message to reserve your glyph('s) (up to 3 max.). People added to the list will be sent the info to access the collab account.
2.) Say 'Thank You' in your own words/language. (Spanish, French, Italian, etc.)
3.)Work should only be done on your own glyph(s), unless approved by the original designer!
4.) The size of the glyph('s) should roughly be between 32 and 64 bricks in height.
5.) The current person working on the font must inform the next person on the list that they are finished, so work will not be lost by working simultaneously. As well as keep the project running.
6.) Once finished, add your username, language and/or glyph description here at the bottom.
7.) If you are posting a message in the comment section from the collab account, end the message with your original username, so we know who you are.
8.) When possible, post a sample image of your contribution in action. below in the comment section.
==========================
The initial font was cloned from DJNippa's 'All Composites saved in MY BRICKS' (big thanks to this user for allowing me to use this fontstruction brick toolset).
It has been slightly modified, removing all bricks from the editor grid, preserving only the saved set within the 'My Brick' pallet. The small square shaped brick in 'My Bricks' that is used as glyph indicator also marks the end of DJNippa's brick tool set. All bricks beyond this point are most likely the result of of glyph-specific composites and should under no circumstances be modified what so ever.
It is also possible to work on your personal FontStruct account by manually cloning DJNippa's or this font, and once you finished your glyph(s) simply copy/paste it from your account into the collab account.
Have fun structing!

This is a clone of All Composites saved in MY BRICKS 3.0So the idea behind this one is that as you type you're creating a city scene. The spaces are empty intersections. The slash marks are slightly askew telephone poles. The quotation marks are flocks of birds. Etc. From a distance it can be a bit illegible. It's primarily meant for large letters or close up scrutiny.
Learning from the excellent work of Frodo7, I mix in this font (with all my respect to the image of Che) his head shape and Planet of the Apes' face. This font is a supplement for "zelfvolution eYe/FS", and the order in which the drawing is displayed is: ABCDE FGHIJ KLMNO PQRST UVWXY Z1234. Hope you like it.
