Inspired by the RoboCop movie logos -- Outline Version. Now includes full character set. For Solid Version, see the "Alex Murphy Solid" font; for dingbats of OCP logos, see the "Alex Murphy Dings" font. Type "RoboCop" into the View-User Input option to try it out!
July 31, 2021 update: Font at version 2.0. Diagonals and lowercase crossbars were thickened, and diagonals now cross into the vertical strokes. Now more movie accurate than ever!

As I told Frodo7 in a previous release, there is likely a professional computer letterform version out there somewhere (the owner of the movie and/or Intellectual Property rights) for marketing, promotional and commercial purposes; it's just that I have not come across it in my 15+ years of font collecting. None of the old RoboCop fansites have any fonts resembling this design whatsoever.
Over the last 23 years, I still am quite surprised that such a bold, striking style was not recreated by some independent font design company or even a fan version created by someone using Fontographer or Font Lab. Perhaps it was felt the design was fated to be forever linked with the movie? Still, others make movie fonts all the time without much worry there...
And thank you for the kinds words for the M & W; we have our dear fellow FontStructor Frodo7 for those. His astute critique pointed out that the original versions of the M & W were too Medieval in design and not keeping with the established patterns. I thus remade the M, N & W to match the V, tweaked the Z and lastly, redesigned the original 7 -- it was a little too TRON-like for my tastes.
The "M" reminds me of buildings from the futuristic Delta City skyline. Delta City was the name of the gleaming new ccommunity OCP planned on building over the ashes of Old Detroit -- once RoboCop cleared out the criminal element therein...
@afrojet: Thank you for the top pick! It is a great honor.
@p2pnut: Your kind words are greatly appreciated, as always!

RoboCop has gotten an upgrade: font is now at version 2.0. Diagonals and lowercase crossbars were a thickened, and diagonals now cross into the vertical strokes. Now more movie accurate than ever!
Whoever said "the right tool for the job" knew exactly what they were taking about. FontStruct continues to evolve into the right tool for so many of our works.
Going back to update old fonts to get closer to the original vision using the since enhanced capabilities of the FontStructor is a very admirable quality. Good job.
@thalamic - Thank you for the kind words. Your comments always put a smile on my face. :^) And you are correct: this update was made possible by the 'new' 4x4 composite grid squares.
