Syzygy was an attempt to create a typeface of old style characters with a high contrast between thicks & thins and attractive curves, despite the inherent limitations of fonstruct’s available blocks. The end result is a highly readable typeface — even at smaller sizes — comprised entirely of straight lines. While the astronomical definition talks about alignment, the word “syzygy” more broadly means “the union of disparate or opposing object, ideas or concepts”. Thus, the name “syzygy” is meant to reference the merger between old-style letters and a modern, computer-driven design tool — truly a meeting of opposites.

This is an attempt to extend acceptability of the bitmap Slightly with sub size dots and "twist joins". I ended up doing a little kerning in a fontlab to get it to where I wanted. That version is not downloadable - sadly enough.

Quirky little serif font. Contains only the Basic Latin character set, so far. Figures are half-way between lining & old-style. More to come, I hope.

Taking advantage of the advanced ratio controls, this is a slightly more open serif typeface. This is one step closer to my goal of making a legible text face in FontStruct. Oldstyle figures.

My first complete font, quite simple and slightly influenced by old German (capital) letters.

An attempt at a pixelated weighted serif face in FontStruct. The letters look a whole lot better than numbers and symbols at the moment. Shades of Bodoni.

This may or may not be inspired by a font that may or may not already exist. Alternate 'A', 'M', 'V', 'v', and 'W' characters at <, >, [, \, and ] respectively.

“Some fonts you just can’t FontStruct”, they would have us believe. I think I came pretty close with this one. Cholla Slab Bold (http://www.fontshop.com/fonts/singles/emigre/cholla_slab_bold/) was advertised on FS, and seemed like a fun challenge. Planning on adding more chars.

It WAS going to be a latin... but the spirit of Davida got in there somehow

A Bodoni that won't take its meds. I hope to be able to fix the horrendous leading problem. You were warned.

work in progress. I'm hopeful I can turn this into a viable typeface: it is legible even at 8pt. Maybe when more bricks become available in FontStruct I can refine it.

This is how "solidad" started out but I kind of like this version too. It's less formalised. Not finished. Can't decide if the variations are exceptions or abberations. I'll have to view a whole bunch of it together.

The gremlins get more and more agitated as I add weight. The x-bold is really going to be interesting.This is a clone of Less Sirvere
