This one evolved as I was working on it. Originally intended to be a slab serif using the new bricks but no filters, stacks, or composite bricks. I found that the letters looked cooler when some of their shapes were implied.
If I can get around to stencilling this, I'll enter it in the handmade competition.

LDR HAET aka LDR#4. There are no holes except for crosses in this font. Use lowercase as a "manual kerning", you know, to keep the spacing between letters always the same, wow, I am an inventor.
A nice suprise was of no errors in the compiled font like displaced bricks or sth.
HAET is a mix between phrases "HATE" and "HEAT".
You are welcome to download, example pic tomorrow, I gotta watch my fav program in TV called "Daleko od noszy" which means that I'm really busy to open up Photoshop and write some black letters on yellow background.
It looks much better as a .ttf.
Yeah, I know it's so lo-res, but on my current computer I could not make more detailed font. Someday I will make a 100-200 square high remix.

Re-fontstructed with composite bricks, finally an uppercase that works with this strange mash-up of a design. Latin-A is a mess of alternates and swashy ideas (for now). I may update them with proper diacritics, a suite of swash caps, and the rest of the characters from the original. Numerals need revising to fit the cap height. Enjoy this beta!This is a clone

It's been a while since I've published anything, and I have a few font projects going, but here is one that I just came up with and made in a couple hours. It's a stencil font that uses a horizontal line to open all the bowls.

Stencil font on a 2x1 grid.
Just a test if i can make something legible with composites and such small space.

Did you ever see a game called WipEout HD Fury for PS3? The font from the word "Fury" in game's logotype was my inspiration. Without these new functions like "Make Composite" or "Rotate" I wouldn't be able to complete the italics that came out nice. I'm very glad of the final effect.
The second "released" FS from LDR series.
LDR#3 looks good in big size. Lowercase letters have wider spacing, so the font ins more flexible in usage. And I've put in some "stencil", do ya see, do ya see?
I hope you'll enjoy.

Another stencil font...with obvious influences from Glaser Stencil (because I love it so!). But to be fair, Glaser Stencil was not referenced even once in the making of this fontstruction.
Allow me to wax technical about FontStruct 2.0 for a bit. A lot of my fontstructions have been even thickness all around. However, the evenness have been approximated thus far—not so anymore. First there were the 45° bricks; then came the 26.57°/63.43° bricks. With the 2.0 Make Composite feature, 14.04°/75.96° angles became possible. These two additional angles provide a finer tune of thickness of stems. The preview does not do justice to the font, but I tested the thicknesses of stems in Illustrator—horizontals/verticals/diagonals. Each stem now is as close in thickness to other as possible. This really is an even stroke font[struction]. Other 2.0 features are also used (but may not be obvious at a glance). See that 'o'? That's just one quarter curve created and then rotated three additional times. Very handy. The horizontal and vertical flips were used extensively throughout the creation process. Quarter-ing of angled bricks became necessary when it became evident that the only even thickness of a stroke is possible at x.5 thickness when combined with a curve. This meant that each vertical/horizontal stem is 5.5 bricks thick, which in turn made it necessary to use angled bricks at a quarter scale, which, of course, was made possible with the Make Composite feature. The only place I couldn't get the brick I wanted was in 4 (zoom in to see the slight misshape). It was a joy to work on this fontstruction to get what I really wanted almost every time. Great update, Rob. Cheers!
As long as I am on the soap box: What's up with diaeresis? I understand the reason for their existence, but are they the best possible way to handle various additional sounds? Also, are they even necessary? For example, café in French means a particular thing. But does cafe (without the e with the grave on it) mean something else? If not, wouldn't the French automatically know how to properly pronounce café (with or without acute on the e) the correct way whichever 'e' is used? It helps in the pronunciation for the uninitiated but are languages really designed for the novice? There are 26 letters in the English alphabet but they cover the gamut of up to 44 different sounds (according to some). Improbable as it may seem, it does not stop people to choose the correct pronunciation of letters. Hop has one sound for the 'o' and adding an 'e' at the end does not add the 'e' sound at the end of 'hop' but changes the sound of the middle 'o'. Convention. Sure. What I am trying to get at is that written script functions much better with distinct shapes without the flow-interrupting addition of the diaeresis. So unless there are two words spelled the same with the only difference being the kind of diacritic on the letters, the diacritic are redundant, no? If there is a real need for certain letter+diacritic combo, wouldn't a new shape be better? There are no shortage of additional shapes in the scripts of other languages. Can't do without an 'é'? Replace it with, say, 'ө' from the Greek script...or whatever. It bears repetition: What's up with diaeresis?

I decided to make a stencil version of my NCD Amphibian font.
I didn't have to change too much.
Slightly influenced by Afrojet's superb Whoopee which reminded me of NCD Amphibian when I first saw it.
There's still some tweaking to be done, so all comments welcomed.

I'm not really sure how this one came about. It conforms to stencil criteria, but it's not really about that. It also reminds me of pseudo-blurry typefaces, but again that's purely coincidental.
Make of it what you will.
