Wave Stroke, inspired by the theme of fluidity, is a decorative font for display use. The original concept was to have basic block sans serif letters that appears to be filling up with water. I then approached a more open design with the wave strokes being more decorative. The multiple strokes that make up the letters are influenced by the idea of flowing water. This is evident in it’s wave-like features which add elegance and a calming effect. I feel that Wave Stroke could be best used on signage for businesses such as the mind and body care industry and on book covers and publications. This is a clone

Clone of even more curves.
Thanks to j4s13 and opipik for starting these curve examples. I thought they were really helpful and I've gathered some of my own to add into the mix.
These are approximations of circular shapes in larger grid spaces. None of these would be possible without using the 2x2 filter. The nudge tool has also opened up the possibilities for mixed curved shapes.
Starting from A, the sizes go from 1 grid block up to larger ones. I've also added some incremental circles like 4.5 and 6.5 grid space. Most of these aren't perfect circles, but they're somewhat more accurate than going the faux bezier route. Feel free to improve upon the forms or create the larger sizes that haven't been displayed.
02.24.15 Added 2.5 and 3.5 sized circles
09.28.15 Added 10 variant, 12, 14 sizes
09.30.15 Added 11 sizeThis is a clone of even more curves

This is my first attempt at using Fontstruct, my aim was to create a typeface representing the word 'Fluid'. I played around with some ideas by looking at how reflections and water held in a bottle can distort something's appearance, looking at the nature of running water and rain drops run down windows. I noticed how randomly liquids can move in an open space and how there really are no repeated patterns in its movement if you look closely. To get my final outcome I tried writing out the alphabet with nail varnish and glue which gave a really blotchy effect and sometimes gaps in the letter, which I then combined with the nature of rain drops running down windows to get a really wobbly letter form.

This is my first attempt at a full alphabet fonstruct, created around the theme of the word “eager.” The letters all lean forwards, like one might if they’re eager to listen. I’m not fully satisfied with it, but am pleased to have been able to complete it.

This is a font based both on Kawi Script and Tagalog Baybayin. It's my rendition for use with the Ibanag language. Feel Free to spread and use.

A strung together font for fantasy/eldritch tomes.
It is still a work in progress, but has enough letters and punctuation to play with for its intended use.
Definitely look at the preview in sample text or user input mode for a better effect.

A clone of my first FontStruction - 'Discordion'. I have made this available to cloning, for other users to manipulate.

After exploring motion and different types of movement, I was drawn to dance, specifically Jazz dance. Jazz dance became popular in the 1920's and "Jazz" is inspired by the posters that were used to promote different balls and dances at the time.

Based on the word 'order', my type design comes from the idea of books. Books are typically ordered neatly on a bookshelf, yet they also have an underlying sense of representing an educated 'order' within society, and in many ways connoting heavily with the court and justice. I found it very hard to get the angles I wanted in relation to the design I had hand drawn and it took me a long time to even try and get it to look vaguely right. It was stressed to me to keep away from pixels, so I had to work with the angles that Fontstruct gave me. Having also been given some feedback, I did some experimentation in terms of making the letters look more like books; using shading, lines and boxes but none of them had a successful outcome so I stuck to what I think looks best and right. There have been many challenges in creating this typeface but I am fairly pleased with the current outcome.
