My entry for ColorComp. I will admit this isn't as good as some of my other works, and this is a bit of a derivative work, but other than that, it's pretty good.
Letters and numbers only.
Edit: HOLY CRAP MY FIRST TOP PICK!!!!!!!!
This is my little contribution to the fantastic recovering universe
called LETTERS OP MAAT by the great @Sed4tives about the typographic world of the dutch artist and typographer Jurriaan Schrofer. Btw, I sincerely apologize to @Sed4tives for the undue delay and the time it took to publish this exciting addition to his magnificent series (I'm sure he thought I'd forgotten, didn't he, comp4ñero?). Hope you like and enjoy these two fonts in one.

GUIDE TO FIND GLYPHS:
- Curved left unicase: A to Z + Ç, Ñ, Æ, Œ.
- Curved right unicase: a to z + ç, ñ, æ, œ.
- Curved left numbers: 0 to 9.
- Curved right numbers: for 0 type %, 1=<, 2= =, 3=>, 4=[, 5=], 6={, 7=|, 8=}, 9=^.
- Other curved left glyphs like ., , , ”, ’, ', ?, !, @, $, &, (, ) and -: in their own glyphs, plus :=/.
- Other curved right glyphs: ”=“, ’=‘, '=", @=*, &=#, -=+, .=:, ,=;, $=`,:=\, ?=¿, !=¡, (=_, )=~...
... The work still in progress (diacritics in the oven)...
This is a cloneAn earlier (1926) constructed alphabet from Jan Tschichold, based on a somewhat finer grid and a slightly less condensed uppercase and a bolder appearance overall.
With a caps-height of 17, reproducing some diagonals proved quickly to be between nightmarish and impossible, thus the fidelity is a bit less exact than my previous recreation.
For a digitisation that encompass both designs and offers proper alternates, you can look at Peter Wiegel’s Tschichold.

This is a cloneCaps only. Inspired by the cool font "Chwast Art Tone" -or simply "Artone"- (1968, by the legendary master of design Seymour Chwast), "Inkwell" (1992, Sam Wang) and "Dogsmoke" (2019, Humberto Gillan), and recalling the feelings of those unforgettable momments from the "Saturday Night Fever" times. Tony Manero lives! Thanks a lot to @Dmitiy Sychiov for designing these beautiful Cyrillic glyphs.
This italic was more difficult to build than I espected (especially the glyphs K, M, S, X, g, k, x, 2, 5, 6, 8, ß and a few others). There are still shapes that are very hard to achieve using the current FontStruct's tools... but nothing is completely impossible if you dedicate the time to it, the results are often surprising. So it also took me much more time to complete the entire character set, but I'm happy about the final aspect of the font: it looks curiously forceful, positive and fresh at the same time, and I like it, despite not being 100% happy with some glyphs. Kerning isn't finished. Suggestions are welcome, folks. This is my 2024 font for Xmas: Happy holidays to you and yours, dear Rob Meek and all the FontStructors wherever you are!
Inspired by INVASION BLOCK (by the great Upixel), but right slanted, with more glyphs added (206 in total) and some of the originals slightly retouched.
Initially inspired by SB Standard font (2013, Craig Staiton) with many modifications and recreated glyphs... And made to saving half the ink when you print your text with it, which is very important in today's times, you know :))

EXPANDED VERSION AVAILABLE ABOVE.
Very loosely based off of the seemingly unknown typeface used on a lot of Ben Bova novels (E.G. Privateers). By the way, this was SUPER hard to make, but still, it's 100% free.
I can't superate chocomotion by four (❤️!), but I'm trying my own soft approach to the 3lines font design world. Hope you like this attempt to clarify from my to-do list. Btw: feedback about the design or aesthetics of some Cyrillic characters would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, people.
this was more a concept than a style Idk
also this is like the only thing I could come up with that was remotely related to the competition.

This is a cloneThe 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.
