This was a clear winner for all judges, and also the \u201cpeople’s favourite\u201d as chosen by the community.<\/p>\n
\u201c[this was] my favorite \u2026 on all levels: creativity, execution, usability, and that x-factor: pure delight.\u201d wrote\u00a0Stephen Coles, while Paul Bokslag went into more detail:<\/p>\n There have been other maze-based fontstructions, such as zlabyrinths eYe\/FS<\/a> by elmoyenique<\/a> and Mazey<\/a> by lldaddy<\/a>, but in fs lost ETHproductions has not only made a set of beautiful and interesting glyphs, reminiscent of seventies multiline fonts, he has also managed to create a very useable font for puzzle sections of magazines, newspapers and themed publications. Each glyph connects to the next, making it possible for editors to instantly generate unique customised mazes, every word being a new challenge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 2) Fraline<\/a> by Upixel<\/a><\/p>\n Exquisite and coherent attention to detail attracted the judges to this gothic gem. Stephen Coles wrote:<\/p>\n I\u2019ve seen a lot of Blackletter on FontStruct because the angled bricks are so well-suited for Fraktur construction, but Fraline is one of the few beauties that takes the suitability of the tool to another level.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 3)\u00a0NCD Deconium SC Black Serif Inlines<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0djnippa<\/a><\/p>\n djnippa strikes a perfect jazz-age chord in this glimpse of a larger family. Stephen Coles wrote:<\/p>\n This is an excellent example of a historical typographic style (the Art Deco shaded inline) that is ideal for the FontStruct environment. Nothing is too forced here, and I like that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Congratulations to all three prizewinners!\u00a0They will be contacted about their prizes shortly.<\/p>\n All the judges had very long shortlists and well over 20 other FontStructions were pushing hard for a place in the top 3. There will be many inline top picks in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n All the judges praised\u00a0db TwoLines<\/a> by beate<\/a>. Paul Bokslag wrote:<\/p>\n The inline in this font is certainly not an afterthought that simply follows the shape of the glyph. Letterform and inline are two separate voices, each singing their own individual melody, but in perfect harmony with each other. This synthesis and the script-like character of the inline that connects certain glyphs, give this font a playful dynamic unlike any other and the samples illustrate that really well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n G1 Explo<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0geneus1<\/a>,\u00a0ztai<\/a>nless eye\/FS<\/a> by elmoyenique<\/a>, RM Celtic Inline<\/a> by p2pnut<\/a> and \u00a0AT Steglo<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0architaraz<\/a>\u00a0also\u00a0all featured prominently in the judges’ feedback.
