Based on the theme 'Accept Advice'. Inspired by 6 year old's advice on improving each letter.

Work in progress : )

Creatures and Phantasy Insects

Countercomp entry

Ten years ago, a StumbleUpon Fontstruct on April 8, 2008 has been one of the highlights of my life. Few things have provided so much joy and fewer things have kept my interest for so long. Type design has always been a fascination for me and the simplicity of the UI/UX of fontstruct has allowed me to explore all that I can imagine without getting in the way while letting me do as I please for the most part. In times of creativity, fontstruct was there to let it flow, and in times of personal lows, fontstruct was there to allow me to ignore that which was beyond my control. Furthermore, the overall civility and helpful nature of the fontstruct community is still one of the best on the internet. I have been using the fontstruct website almost daily for 10 years now and rarely do I not see something new that is amazing and awe inspiring. The creativity of the designers past and present is incredible.

I wish to thank FontShop for sponsoring fontstruct for so long allowing it to grow. Most importantly, I wish to thank Mr. Meek for creating and constantly enhancing this incredible gift of creativity and a calming haven for over-active minds.

Thank you.

This font started offline. It wasn't even supposed to be a font. I was just showing some students the value of a grid, even as tiny as 5×5 and the thousands of possibilities it generates. It led to making an 'a'. Of course, once that exercise was over, I had to continue making other letters. It's a compulsion. Sorry. The offline idea was slightly different. Compromises had to be made due to the limitation in place by the bricks available.

This is still a work in progress. I'm pushing the new bricks, stacking and nudging to the limit to create some nice flowing shapes. This is also a great opportunity to get working with some good kerning. Once I have the basic character set, this is going to be submitted to Google Fonts for approval.

Kerning? Work in progress.

I ❤︎ typography.

GOTHIXEL. A blackletter-style monospace font for small pixel sizes.

Gothixel's default tracking is not suitable for all-caps text. The capitals are slightly wider than lower case, so there is no gap between capitals. For all-caps, either increase the tracking of this font or use Gothixel Proportional, which is not monospace and which has appropriate space between all letters. However, Gothixel Proportional is further behind in development and doesn't have as many character sets yet.

Gothixel proudly supports Greek (including polytonic Greek!), Cyrillic, and, coming soon, Vietnamese and Hebrew character sets.

Please tell me about any mistakes or omissions you find and I will see about fixing/adding them. This font family was originally named "Blackletter RPG".

Monospaced typeface based on Otonokizaka Std II (https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1399114/otonokizaka-std-ii), which in turn is based on the Love Live! logo subtitle, with slight changes making some characters more legible at small sizes. Can be used as a high-DPI code editor font.

EDIT 6th May: Added most of Latin-1 Supplement. A boldface version is now also available (https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1401380/otonokizaka-std-ii-1-3).

Dornach is a town/village in Switzerland where I'm on a family visit right now. It's very quite here, with lovely people who always greet me, asian looking guy, with smile ). The "o" was created not long after LoveComp's announcement, but it's here, in Dornach, with some spare time in my hand, I could finally find consistent development for it. A LoveComp entry #2 that's still in progress, other letters and samples will hopefully come soon. Thanks & Enjoy!

Very stressful assembly of bricks, I thought I would not finish it on time. Uff! Some glyphs are still expecting to be included in the font. WIP, and kerning.

Just a test... The new features greatly improve the fontstructing experience which already was great. Details about this font below...

Happy 10th Anniversary! A highly conceptual and modular work with integration of "X", a technique that is yet to be developed...

Inspired by the Maze Set. A technical fontstruction showing the usage for thinner macaroni bricks. The logic for possible counter relation: 

1) Every letter is filled with thinner version of itself (self-pattern fill).

2) Outline vs Inline, emphasizing the "opposite" meaning of counter.

A quickie made to thank for these wonderful new features. Thank you, FS staff!

G1 Recoil. It's like a vibrating pixel font. It's got like one strand most of the time. 

Make the letters any width desired.

Type the uppercase letter for the left half of the letter, type an extender (or not), then type the same lowercase letter for the right half of the letter. The more extenders are inserted between the left and the right halves, the wider the letter becomes.

I and T are the exceptions where the extenders are typed before and after the left and right halves and not inbetween.

The other exceptions are M and W which have been split into 3 and extenders are added between the left, middle and right thirds.

? is split between ? and /

Extenders are located at    @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) and _

How to extend:

A@@a, B##b, C$$c, D$$d, E##e, F%%f, G$$g, H^^h, &&Ii&&, J**j or J**$$j, K^^k, L**l, M(({((m, N((n, O$$o, P@@p, Q$$q, R%%r, S##s, (((Tt))), U**u, V**v, W**}**w, X^^x, Y^^y, Z__z, ?@@/

050415. lowercase reworked with nudges and fin bricks. Uppercase added based on new modifications. 091415. updated M N W and g. g is my favorite. 100315. Basic symbols added. Quick text dump of quotes from Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers book for a sample image shows different sizes. The font name had nothing to do with the book, which was an interesting read nonetheless.
