All Composites In My Bricks This is an essential tool for creating fontstructs. I have saved virtually all the various angled composites as useable bricks in the MY BRICKS section. You can then use them for your own creations.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make a clone of this font. Click CLONE
2. Choose A Name like 'All Composites saved in MY BRICKS".
3. Click CLONE
4. Wait until it opens.
5. Click on the ARROW in the Tools panel, then PRESS A (Highlight All) on your keyboard, the pattern of bricks should change colour to blue. Now press C (copy).
6. Create a new window on your browser, and go to Fontstruct. Create a new fontstruction.
7. Choose a name for your new fontstruction.
8. Click 'Start Fontstructing'.
9. In bottom left corner you will see 'BASIC LATIN'. Click the yellow 'up arrow' next to it.
10. Choose 'Extended Latin B' or any other you may prefer.
11. Press V (Paste) to paste the pattern of bricks, you previously copied.
12. Now look in 'My Bricks' at the top left - You should see all the composite bricks neatly arranged. If they are not arranged correctly, then you may have done something wrong.
If it does not appear, go back to the original brick pattern, and copy & paste it again.
ENJOY.
I hope this saves you lots of time, and aids you in your creativity.

This is a cloneSpray.ME is a classic stencil typeface, a bit inspired by Impact, but with a little twist. Hold Shift while typing for a dirty effect of fresh paint dripping from the letters. Stains, splatters - just like it was sprayed a few seconds ago. "!" hides behind "\" and "|".
I realize that there are tiny holes scattered over letters with the paint effect, if this font is going to be disqualified for that, I can remove them. :3
Ah - there's a tiny spray can dingbat!
Inspired by Zonatta by Elmoyenique.
A display typeface (probably best viewed small, I'm aware!) based upon some physical type I made from dark food colouring etched into sugar syrup. This was to represent the brief theme I picked of 'unstable', hence why all the characters are completely induvidual in size and shape. I have also published a second version which displays what happens when the food colouring bled into the sugar syrup.
While recreating/revising one of my very first fontstructions – April 2008’s Asgard (second to last one) – I realized it was going to take something more drastic still than switching to 2x2 filter settings to realize my dream of a harmonized U&lc set.
The original’s lowercase had several compelling and unique features (at the time), the uppercase worked well enough in all caps display settings...but they very rarely sat comfortably together. The answer couldn’t have been more simple: since the caps (which surprisingly came first...or does this just reveal my noobishness at the time?) are rather narrow, the lowercase itself needed to follow a more logically elongated model.
Here the flexibility of 2x2 filters kicks into high gear as the original design’s lc is tweaked by half a brick extra height to bring about a more righteously rockin’ family.
(Asgard 1.x plateaued at 829 characters, so – as always – more to come...)
