\"Bridge<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear FontStructors,<\/p>\n

Over the past decade and a half, many millions of our bricks have been arranged across the world. I found the ones pictured above<\/a> last Summer, shining through the drizzle in the small Irish town of Callan while looking for their designer who unfortunately was away at the time. There is no sight more magical for me than FontStructions glimpsed out in the wild like this.<\/p>\n

So Happy Birthday! FontStruct was launched 16 years ago today on April 1st 2008. Since then we\u2019ve welcomed 2.2 million FontStructors to the grid, and about 2.4 million designs have been started. 77,000 FontStructions have been shared publicly in our Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to our site over the past 16 years, especially to those of you who have created and shared your original designs here.<\/p>\n

An extra-special thanks to each of our 30 or so Patrons<\/a>, who make a tangible and vital contribution to the site.<\/p>\n

Thanks also to Rainer and Georg of the Glyphs<\/a> project, creators of the wonderful Glyphs<\/a> 3 font editor. Glyphs is our main sponsor and they continue to generously support modular typography on FontStruct in 2024, having done so now for over 10 years!<\/p>\n

Here, as a small, sweet birthday delight, are a selection of 256 \u201cP\u201ds designed on FontStruct in recent years. (P is the 16th letter of the latin alphabet).<\/p>\n

\"256<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s Next<\/h2>\n

There will be another competition starting soon. Hopefully within the next two weeks. Watch this space!<\/p>\n

Happy FontStructing!<\/p>\n
