Started out trying just to make an old-school fontstruction, with no 23.5 degree angles. I had another version with slanted A V W, & X, but it looked more cohesive with everything all blocky. It'd be easy to use this template and build multiple weights.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/244960/hermione_black Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:42:47 +0000
work in progress. See also the CSS version, Curtis CSS.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/180805/curtis_heavy Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:44:13 +0000

Pixel font = relaxation. Less blocks to worry about makes for more fun.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/156143/tom_tussle Fri, 13 Mar 2009 20:43:14 +0000
My take on Hellenic Wide, which I first saw in a Frank Chimero illustration. Some of his work looks ripped right out of the 50's and I love it. The capitals all fit pretty well into the FontStruct schema. I'd like to revisit this one sometime to see if it would work with a lighter stroke and skinnier character width.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/121802/francero_wide Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:09:46 +0000
Like Masphalt, the original inspiration for this one comes from Stefan Kjartansson's Black Slabbath. I think I played enough with it to make it my own. Like the two-story lowercase g and lowercase a. Squishing that middle stroke really gave this one a personality. I kept all the counters rectangular, try not to hide the hard edges. This is my first time going through the diacritics to give me a holler if you see something wrong.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/83734/squabble_1 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 22:43:49 +0000
When the half-angle blocks were first introduced I thought I would be the last one to produce an old style or transistional sans-serif typeface. Looking through the gallery, I still don't see any attempts. Creating a serif font with blocks is very much a square peg for a round hole, but I enjoyed the challenge. I tried to emphasis all the minor details, like angled stress, or the bottom terminal of the lowercase b. I spent a lot of time on this months ago, but after a while, just lost the drive to complete all the characters. Maybe you're up to the task.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/74423/bradshaw_bold Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:20:14 +0000
A fun font. mini curlz. Work in progress]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/64912/gretzatz Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:41:38 +0000
Experimental, dealing with basic shapes.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/57221/quint_city Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:30:32 +0000
A metal variation of Rosslyn Regular. Lowercase F, P, S, T, V, W, and Y, are paired with A so you can have proper kerning for the most brutal of words like SATAN and METAL and FATAL.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/48054/rosslyn_metal Sat, 17 May 2008 09:08:42 +0000
Close of Rosslyn Regular. Bumped up the grid size to 16x16 so I could squeeze in lowercase characters.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/46553/rosslyn_square Thu, 15 May 2008 12:34:34 +0000
Thinking of a geometric typeface, a la Gotham. Lowercase F, P, T, V, W, and Y are combo-ed with A for proper kerning. 8x8 grid]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/46532/rosslyn_regular Thu, 15 May 2008 11:56:37 +0000
Inspired by the cursive aesthetic from pauldhunt's lovely Structurosa Script. I tried to play around with the kerning so there's the illusion of a continuous line. ]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/42996/phantsied Mon, 12 May 2008 16:14:14 +0000
Remigius wasn't metal enough. Added another pixel of vertical line width and cut the counters to just one pixel. Now it's ready for the that MAYHEM tattoo you always wanted. Clone of Remigius. Rip of Ironwood.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/40207/remigius_heavy Sun, 11 May 2008 21:42:42 +0000
Another experiment in breaking down the letterforms, trying to use the simplest shapes that would still hold true to the characters. Uppercase characters look fairly good, but the lowercase get a bit unreadable.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/40040/izack Sun, 11 May 2008 20:17:33 +0000

Experimental. Uses a 4x2 grid. Break down all the letter forms into their elemental components and see if its readable.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/33797/halliday Mon, 05 May 2008 15:31:06 +0000
Conceptual. Uses just 9 blocks.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/27661/ben_day Sun, 27 Apr 2008 21:40:43 +0000

Font idea taken from the typography from posters for the Smashing Pumpkins Arising tour, back in 1999. As williaum has pointed out, that font is Ironwood. It occurred to me that it would make a very easy Fonstruction. And it was! It's the perfect font for your iron-on Motorhead t-shirt decal. Named after the curmudgeon monk in "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/22788/remigius Sun, 20 Apr 2008 19:46:36 +0000
