This is a clone of zpiekermann eYe/FSNumbersComp's brief saids: "As always, please do interpret the theme as loosely, literally or figuratively as you wish – it’s there only to inspire, not to confine." That's my point. Here in FS, we can also draw with NUMBERS (= brick coordinates). This is a tribute: my humble fontstructization of a linear portrait of the great Master Erik Spiekermann made by Bill Dawson (©2015). To get the full image, please type: ABCDE (return) FGHIJ (return) KLMNO (return) PQRST (return) UVWXY (return) Zabcd (return) efghi -these last five glyphs are for the name, if you want add it-. And don't forget to adjust the line spacing if you want a good result when printing it. Thanks for sharing it.
My version of Jan Tschichold’s “Schmale Grotesk - Leicht und schnell konstruierbare Schrift” (narrow grotesque - font that is easy and quick to construct), from 1930.
Turns out it isn’t always “quick and easy” to translate a pen and straightedge approach to constructed letters into Fontstruct’s prefabricated bricks setting.
In expanding the glyph coverage, I tried to remain true to the spirit of the original self imposed limitations, both in terms of grid (e.g. the cramped space for the uppercase diacritics), and of tools (see the solution for superscripts et similia).
The font covers all of Google Fonts Basic set and, given the c-caron present in the source, all of Czech orthography. I may try to add other Eastern European languages in the future.
For different takes on the same source, you can look at Serious, here on Fontstruct, or at Iwan Reschniev, for an extensive expansion in weights and typographic features.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome :-)
A narrowed zrebmun version, trying another different point of view for the original font. Let me know what do U prefers, please.
This is a clone of zrebmun eYe/FSThe NUMBERS were the origin: This font has been created from the design of glyphs 0, 2 and 4, which was then extrapolated to the rest of the characters. Unicase with alternates. Thanks @AidenFont for the vertical stripes idea.
MARTIAN AMBASSADOR — Future retro / Sci-Fi style
═══════════════════════════════════
A future retrostyle that reflects the social construct at the dawn of the Computer Age through the zeitgeist of that 70s and 80s aesthetic fashion, which was strongly influenced by things such as: space, computers, sci-fi and cyberpunk.
ANTI-QUE — Asian calligraphy inspired
═══════════════════════════════════
Anti-que features a romanized lettering concept that was designed to mimic the stylistic properties of Asian calligraphic characteristics.
modified to look more like elmoyenique's sample
This is a clone of numerical extThe width of the letters spelling out each number is different after the first 2 letters (but the "i" is always 4px wide)
Four numbes added : "10" is on the "K" , "11" on the "L" , "ZEHN" on the underscore , "ELF" is on the "$"
My rendition of the UKTV channel-specific on-demand services font.
This is a clone of züricher eYe/FSMy second entry for the Numbers competition.
This one has actually been sitting there for a while already, I haven't published it before because of the terrible kerning and some awful letter solutions. But I think the numbers are quite cool, so...
A custom six-segment display design. All combinations of segments are in the braille section.
Some forms may look weird because the display was optimized for numbers. I came up with the whole thing while in the car.
I unfortunately can't post samples in the comments right now. Womp womp. :I
The title is a shortened version of Keш Чijolu d Namerjoä. This means 'For numbers battle' or 'For numbers competition,' which is exactly what it's for.
