This is my first FontStruction while currently studying graphic design at Bristol UWE.
Lots of experimentation solely using paints; quick hand movements and flicks to produce a messy, unrefined effect. Working in less than 1 second for each letter (with real paints), used as reference. Inspired by East Asian calligraphy.

This is an Asian inspired font again. Every letter contains a curl terminal.

I recently resumed use of fontstruct, and found that i had this font on private. I fixed up a few letters, and poof!
"()"=hilts, "<>"=tips, "_@#="=spaces

Light, condensed typeface based on a sort of rhombic pattern counterbalanced by a strong emphasis on the vertical (resulting in the blackletter look noticed by riccard0).
As computed by fontstruct, letter-size is roughly 3/4 of common definitions, which means that you have to set Sycamore to e.g. 24pt if you want to achieve a 18pt impression.
Also available in Book style.

Symmetrical geometric designs on a continuous black background. The lowercase characters are the negative versions of the uppercase symbols.

Inspired by and adapted from Syndrome BRK by Brian Kent - the X stands for the increased x-height of this version. Contains a large latin-based multilingual characterset - like all the fonts I rework at CheapProFonts ;)
A professional OpenType version (not affected by FontStructs design limitations ;) can be purchased and downloaded HERE for our usual low price! :)

A blocky sans serif. Not sure about the overshoots, they seemed a bit excessive in capitals (due to the larger flat edges) so I only kept them in the lowercase.

A typeface that evolved from my entry for FontOut 4. Tech, italic, awesome.
First experiment with my beloved katakana, it means that I may have caused some technical mistakes here and there, but overall I'm happy with the result. Katakana matches futuristic style a lot and provides many ways to play with letters.
I'm really proud of this one, it was a pretty huge challenge, because I started building on a very small grid. Making a oblique, techno font (using 4x1 composites), with decent spacing and rich character set could be painful even in high resolution. Although sometimes I, or FontStructor did not keep pace (see the Yen symbol). Gosh, why there are no
bricks!?
There's a tiny "K Graveyard" in Extended Latin A, somewhere around K-like characters, there's also a different version of nine. Please take a look there and tell me if one of these K's is better than K that I decided to use. Any other suggestions are very, very welcome.

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.

A bit of a mish-mash of terminals going on here. One tries these things to see if they work...

I have no pencil, no paper, just these little tacks and a bulletin board. Oh well.
For an interesting effect, try pixel view
I tried to make a font that mimics the minimalist design patterns of the late-90s and early-00s, as well as earlier grid-based works like those of Wim Crouwel. This is the fruit of that labour.

Some variations on the yin-yang symbol. incidentally exposing the fact that in Fontstruct you can create negative shapes unattainable in positive (and vice-versa).

Another 2x filter experiment, paired with heavy usage of the Macaroni bricks. Based on the original logo for the Sony Walkman Cassette Tape Players from the 1980s. Type "Walkman" in the User Input to see!
