FontStruct bricks used to build a font set made of LEGO bricks.
Note that "_" can be used to add a blank space six units large, and "^" can be used to add a blank space one unit large.
Use Legorama Fill to add a perfectly matching color to the text letters.

The Chesterfield Royal Family was formed from my desire to add new weights to the original Chesterfield typeface. In the process of drawing these new weights, I began modifying some of the forms of the new glyphs away from the original Chesterfield glyphs in order to build a more flexible brick/grid structure for the development of various weights. The most noticeable difference between these three new faces and the original is the lowered x-height. That said, there are still some compromises between the different weights and because of that I've given them these royalty names instead of the normal practice of light, regular, and bold weight names. One of the biggest compromises occurs in the Prince weight, where I was unable to add the notch where bowls and shoulders meet stems (see King and Queen weights) without adding too much extra black weight to those parts of the glyph.
A work in progress for sure. Any help/thoughts/repulsions/bile appreciated.

I seem to be caught in a rut. All my work is resembling everything else I did in the past. I may have hit upon, what I consider, a good typographic balance between glyph design and fontstruct limitations or I simply may have run out of ideas. Only time will tell. :)

was looking for a font you can easily use. this one can be used with a lot of small quadrats 6by6 (minus 3 or 6). for a wall design or even as wooden shelves...

This was fun for me...just for feel some freedom on the grid.
The lowercase contains alternates characters, so... there are two possibilities of uppercase, adding more handwritting feeling.

Do you think that pixel fonts are new?
1920's...the Bauhaus...these were really modern times....

I thought this resembled Javanese shadow puppets, hence the name. A word about my fonts; I'm not necessarily attempting to create completely usable sets of glyphs at this point. I'm more interested in exploring ways to use the bricks. That said, I welcome all suggestions and constructive criticism. Bring it on! : )

Inspired by caseycastille's Chinese Chairs, this started out as an exploration of optional letters for that font. Then I just doodled some repeating patterns. Then I saw how I can fill the patterns inside the letters. They fit together pretty easily for vertical letters, but diagonals were really tricky. The end product resembled Hawaiian leis draped over each glyph. Very floral. So there you have it. Flowers. For Casey. :)This is a clone

I hate Times New. It deserves to be smudged, eroded, distressed, manipulated and otherwise abused.
*Note: I wasn't looking at anything as a reference when I did this; probably should have - the "W" and the "M" would have looked better, but frankly, Times New doesn't deserve the attention to detail. : )

this was concieved to be a LOGO font. especially e.g. band names, event titles or companys or whatever...
it's a lower case set with an "empty glyph" on "." to replace the space bar and to connect words.
further it includes a diamond like square on ",".
guess where i put "+" and "-".
:)
needless to say this will stay a lower case only font!
