FontStructions from Crissov (Sorted by Sharing Date)

“Doesburg” by Crissov

Thu, 03 Jul 2014 07:20:38 +0000

Based upon a De Stijl design by Theo van Doesburg (1883–1931) from 1919. This typeface seems to use a 5×5 pixel grid at first look, but letters ‘B’, ‘D’ and ‘V’ require 10×10 pixels. Doesburg made some choices that you don’t find in modern pixel fonts. Only uppercase characters and digits, some variants at lowercase letter positions. Please note that this has been fontstructed before, but in slightly different ways: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/architypixel_doesburg_5x5 http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/architypixel_doesburg_25x25 http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/276556

“Kassenspar” by Crissov

Mon, 20 Jan 2014 14:04:27 +0000

Based upon famous logo of German Sparkasse, seen at Ṡ. The lowercase letters are much more usable, so avoid all-caps text.

“Fakoo dot” by Crissov

Mon, 20 Jan 2014 13:53:52 +0000

A minimal 3×3 font. Rounded clone of Fakoo quad with lowercase letters from http://www.neun-punkt.de/nine-dot-writing.html

“Fishburne 3x6” by Crissov

Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:47:35 +0000

Fishburne is a haptic labeling system. It works much like the Braille or Moon scripts for the blind. Its top and bottom parts resemble domino bricks. Some forms used herein – most notably V, W and X – deviate slightly from official ones. The baseline should probably run through the middle of the glyphs.

“Dotty Moon 5x5” by Crissov

Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:08:48 +0000

5x5 raster Moon script, dotted.

“Moon 4x4 White” by Crissov

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 12:18:06 +0000

Clone of Moon 4x4 Black.

“Simplified Playing Cards” by Crissov

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:12:10 +0000

A first proof of concept for a very simple card set with language and script neutral identifiers. Clubs: A-M (black, cross or box) Spades: a-m (green or blue, upwards triangle or disc) Hearts: N-Z (red, downwards triangle) Diamonds: n-z (yellow, rhombus) Ace/1/11 (circled dot), 2-9 (dice), 10 (circle), Jack (neutral), Queen (female cross), King (male arrow); Joker (star)

“Geascript 39 angular” by Crissov

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 09:34:16 +0000

Geascript 39 with (tri)angular corners, still based on the original AEG MIS Geascript 38.

“Geascript 39 round” by Crissov

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 09:31:05 +0000

Geascript 39 with rounded corners, still based on the original AEG MIS Geascript 38.

“Landkauf” by Crissov

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:32:44 +0000

Inspired by the ‘K’ logo of Kaufland supermarkets. Uppercase only; lowercase letters used for alternate glyphs. Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.

“Just1s times4” by Crissov

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 18:17:07 +0000

Just 1 segment wide, 4 segments high majuscules, 2 segments high minuscules. Another proof of concept not intended to be usable.

“Just1s” by Crissov

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:57:47 +0000

just one symbol. A proof of concept, not intended to be usable.

“Raphigraphy” by Crissov

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 19:24:01 +0000

Raphigraphy by Louis Braille (1839), according to http://www.fakoo.de/raphi/raphigrafie-alphabet.html

“Albers” by Crissov

Sat, 18 Jul 2009 11:44:21 +0000

‘Schablonenschrift’ by Albers 1920s. ‘v’, ‘w’, ‘x’, ‘z’ are broken. I would have made a different ‘s’.

“5x7 int” by Crissov

Sat, 18 Jul 2009 10:26:26 +0000

‘int’ stands for ‘international’ as this font covers multiple scripts. It’s not beautiful, but it has a lot of (uppercase) glyphs to start from. It’s more like a showcase of what is possible in a rectangle 5 pixels wide and 7 pixels tall.

“Moon 4x4 Thin” by Crissov

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 12:06:18 +0000

Latin alphabet for partially sighted people after William Moon (1818–1894). Edgy square design. N and Z are ugly.

“QWERTZ de Mac” by Crissov

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:43:09 +0000

QWERTZ keyboard layout as found on German Apple computers. Yeah, it could be prettier.

“Moon 4x4 Black” by Crissov

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:40:59 +0000

An embossed script for the partially sighted, developed by Moon in the middle of the 19th century. Black or Extra Bold style in a 4x4 square. This of course wouldn’t be usable for the blind. H isn’t perfect, but needs to be distinguishable from O. R and S are the same as in Moon Bold.

“Moon 4x4 Bold” by Crissov

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:22:37 +0000

An embossed script for the partially sighted, developed by Moon in the middle of the 19th century. Bold style in a 4x4 square. The diagonals in N and Z are probably too bold.

“Moon 3x3 square” by Crissov

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 11:37:46 +0000

Clone of Moon square4 in a 3x3 raster.
