I began by exploring the theme of decaying objects, such as fruit, and studied the shape (and change of shape) of the objects, as they progressively fell apart. By creating hand drawn sketches i began to create a typeface that looked as though it was rotting/melting away. I used a traditional typeface, Times New Roman, that could be considered as quite boring and a font which has been around for a long time and then used it as a base font which i then made to look as though it was rotting and falling apart by refering back to my earlier sketches. Overall I aimed to create a typeface that represents the decay of an older, more traditional and perhaps overused typeface.

My starting point for this project was the theme evil, this naturally lead me into looking into blackletter typefaces. I then looked at how blackletter has become popular in Mexico. Especially within the urban, gangster culture, which is where i have drawn the inspirations for the majority of my final letterforms from.This is a clone

This typeface is based on the theme decay. It references the idea of how things decay when they are forgotten and so parts of each of the letters are missing. This links to the idea it is based on the courier font which was used in the typewriter. It shows a link that once something is forgotten e.g. technology such as a type writer it starts to decay. This typeface also has reference to the ideas of the bacteria that cause decay and so hence called prokaryotes which is the term used to describe this bacteria. This font can be used as a display font for many things including gig posters etc.

This is an experiment to blend blackletter and modern serif elements. Work in progress.

More pxl love. And another expansion of Lex Kominek’s Trajedy majuscules.
The freshness of the original charmed me into creating an extended set of matching miniscules, diacritics, symbols and ligatures. But why stop there? :^)This is a clone

Cleaning out the queue. I can't believe this one has been sitting in here for *gulp* eight months! I figure if I don't kick it out now, then it will sit here sequestered for another eight.
The title is inspired by my struggles to space this one properly.
A work in progress. Taking any and all feedback - especially for spacing.
Works best at specific sizes. Enjoy.This is a clone

My first serious attempt to make a serif using Fontstruct. This is for a university project, where I am attempting to make a serif that could be used in sci-fi moives/tv shows etc. So I’m trying to figure out what makes a typeface 'sci-fi' without a) being a sans and b)resorting to clichés that impede readability.
Any comments/feedback would be much appreciated!
** Much thanks to everyone who has/is giving feedback. Also a big thanks to William for giving me such detailed suggestions and pointers. **

Based on the lettering on the front of the 1978 edition of the Scoutmaster's Handbook. Since the original sample only contained "ABCDEHKMNORSTU-", I had to design the rest from scratch.

An exercise in creating a classical Roman style font in FS
I am currently working on an extended and modified version of this ... which I can't help calling 'New Romantic' (I really should resist these urges).

I was bored, so I started working on a pixelated Didone.
WIP and maybe I’ll do a smooth version.

This is the bigger brother of Eärendil. Same concept with small modifications here and there. Medieval numbers.

A simple font, by the way, my first. And some things look missing (parts of letters), but that was purposefull.

A re-creation of the Amiga OS 1.0 version of the Topaz system font. Yes, I know of Tepid Monkey's "November" (I even helped port it to TrueType!), but this version includes all of the characters from the Latin-1 set.
(And if you don't get the name... topaz is a type of aluminum silicate.)

This one likes steel machines that run on boiling water, because my girl is a steam punk rocker!!!
I took some liberties with the serifs: they might not be where they are intended to be or missing where they should be. And, although the lc has ascenders and descenders, the uc is set at x-height.

Effleurage brick massage. Sharp and curvy 6x10 grid space experiment. Weird spacing due to double size filtering in conjunction with half bricks makes this mostly unusable. But that's why there's alternate spaced letters instead of numbers...for now. The spacing is compensated to look better in actual use than on the preview. Minimal space tweaking was done on the sample, but wherever the spacing was really off (which was pretty much everywhere), the alternate space character was used.
Alt spacing characters:
a = 1
s = 2
x = 3
z = 4
Z = 5
S = 6
e = 7
o = 8
t = \
g = ^
s = |
Ligatures:
fi = @
ff = _
fl = #
ffl = /This is a clone
