Fingernail was an attempt to create a reverse-contrast typeface in FontStruct. It's in recognition of the fun typefaces of this genre that type foundries have been releasing in recent years, such as Boogie School Sans, Ribes Black, and Opposit.
Based on Motter Ombra. The capitals was a block in the road when I was working on this. It's also quite illegible.
A little experiment with the "connect" bricks (and an healty dose of stacking). I wasn't referencing any specific example of the style (of which there are many), but I'm sure that, looking for solutions as I went, I ended up with something similar to already existing typefaces (and fontstructions).
Unfortunately, some connecting bricks don't align exactly, so I had to resort to approximate them, when possible, with more stacking, which didn't particularly help the already lacking consistency in construction.
But enough moaning, enjoy!
A set of numbers in nassk style. Digit 7 looks like a cane with a small cane, mimicking digit 7 with a diagonal stroke
This fontstruction was also made for the Numbers Competition running currently in FontStruct and as such, it only includes the bare minimum for numbers (Digits, Plus Sign, Comma, Fullstop and Latin letter E)
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 :-)

inspired by frodo7's most recent work, this is the result of me trying it for myself. Still, this is far from perfect, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
THIS MAY BE EXPANDED APON IN THE FUTURE.

Just a simple bold font.

i would especially appriciate help with the greek.

Reserved font name "Vertalics" (previously known as "Chicken Scratches") was created by and is Copyright Doug Peters 2018, and released as freeware under the SIL Open Font License. It is currently a limited character set novelty font and would require a lot of time and patience to develop it beyond that because of the nature of its design. You are welcome to carry on the work on your own, though I would like credit for the concept, initial design and the working start on it.

A very quick & dirt job prompted by this thread on Typophile.
I started this... more than eleven years ago (!), and changed directions at least a couple of times along the way, so perhaps it would have been better to start from scratch.
Anyway, I thought it would be an appropriate typeface for the holiday season :-)
All cap bold serif
kerned : Russian, Latin Basic, More Latin
I can't even type cyrillic extended, there are too many letters in latin extended, I don't have greek keyboard either
I wish I could make everything, but I'm a human after all (or am I?), I decided that this is good enough

“Does this font look trustworthy to you?”
This took a while to make but I’m very happy with how this turned out (even though this is far from finished!)
If you have any suggestions for improvements, please tell me in the comments and I will try them out if I can.

Have you ever tried to add more glyphs to a font you haven't touched for months? Cause I always struggle when I try it… Nevertheless, I'll try to add some more characters as soon as I find time and motivation
