A replica of the lettering I carved into a linocut book cover that I made for my favourite book: The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg.

Slightly exaggerated rendition of the classic medieval 'textura' of Christian manuscripts. I mainly used Barbara Bundy's book 'Colour Calligraphy' for reference.(in progress)

Uppercase is lowercase Roman forms and lowercase is smaller upright italic forms.

This is my first pixel preference font. It is based on popular forms of title and display writing and engraving in 16th and 17th centuries. It is named after famous printmaker and painter Albrecht Durer, although his writing was only one reference out of a few for this font, and you may notice that other than the A, there are not many similarities with Durer's style. The upper case is purposely deteriorated alla Caslon Antique, and is wider spaced than the lower case.
Gamma and Delta in Greek and Coptic are alternate G and D.
Other ligatures and alternates are in Alphabetic Presentation Forms in Unicode.

Another of my more kooky ideas masquerading as a pretty kosher cursive pixel typeface.

This was going to be about experimenting with the new nudge feature, but I decided that it would look better without curves. But because I worked on the small grid, the nudging did come useful.

A font based on Boris Bilinsky's poster for the 1927 film Metropolis' French release.

I'll start uploading fontstructions that I never bothered to finish with a license for cloning.
Uneven, bold and jagged, here is my attempt to recreate the crazy styles of lettering featured in UPA cartoons as a standard type. The lettering was done by hand so that the letters could kern perfectly, so it was difficult for me to recreate that aspect as a font.

A pixel font, but you might recognise it's not at all different from something I did a while ago called 'Simple stencil', which already was something of a parody of many recent top picks at the time.

Now that I'm more savvy in the ways of FontStruct, and that nudging has been introduced, I'm revisiting my magnum opus but this time on a smaller grid and with real curves. I have also designed special small caps.

Combines curves, faux-curves, and triangle-brick edges. The title doesn't describe the typeface; it describes a possible application of it. Don't bother asking.

This font is based on the signature of one of my favourite cartoonists, Al Hirschfeld. Because of this, I copied a few of the letters and invented many, and therefore I am unsure about the descenders for Q and J, and the widths of M, N, V, and W.

Clone of TRAIANVS. In the uppercase, light comes from the left and therefore lights up the right sides of the letters, and vice-versa for the lowercase.
@, _,*,#, and % are all marble vein textures that you can type in without taking up any space.

A referential classic Trajan font for experimenting on when you can't be bothered to make your own pixel serif font.

I haven't done anything in a while, but just felt like doing this. The idea came when contemplating axes: see the 'o' is made thick on either side conventionally because it is sliced through.

A fairly even line-width type that was intended to be more even.

Don't worry, it's (probably) not going to turn into a series.

Clone of Curve. I've deleted the old one, which had odd spacing. Though the spacing on this one shows up strange.This is a clone

A top heavy modern style serif font with lots of letter combinations which I will call ligatures but are not actually ligatures per se. For example, you may be surprised to see that the ampersand types the Latin 'et'.
