Hunstrüct is my first attempt at designing a contemporary blackletter typeface within Fontstruct. The typeface draws inspiration from the long tradition of German Fraktur styled blackletters. The name Hunstrück is taken from a mountain range in Germany called the Hunsrück. Primarily I was aiming to build a face that would work well as a display type for gig posters and larger headlines but as I reworked the typeface I tried to strike a balance between text and display.
Big thanks goes to djnippa for his hard work in spacing this font properly.

The ‘Sans Serious’ Series is a group of tribute typefaces meant to honor Dutch designer and typographer Jurriaan Schrofer.
Along with Wim Crouwel and Josef Albers, Jurrian Schrofer (1926 - 1990) was among the Bauhaus pioneers of grid-based modular typography and design.
Schrofer's work experimented with type, light, and color and focused on mathematical shapes and pattern.
“Schrofer made several attempts to create complete typefaces - one of which was wittily calledSans serious- but this was never his goal. ‘Is it necessary’, he wrote, ‘to make complete alphabets with upper- and lowercase, figures, diacritics and seriously adorned with a name, when the aim is merely a formal investigation into basic recipes’ Schrofer's domain was never the design of typographic alphabets, to be used by other designers, but always the creation of letterforms ‘made to measure’ as part of his own designs of - mainly - book covers and postage stamps. He created a rectangular alphabet as the basic element of his ever-changing covers - each based of the same grid but colored differently - for a series of scientific books, ‘Les textes sociologiques’ from Mouton Publishers. He made sophisticated pixel-based letters, all drawn by hand, and experimented with photographic screens as a means of distinguishing simplified letterforms from the background. He created logotypes built from custom-made letterforms, based on rectangular grids.”
“In his booklet ‘Letters op maat’ (‘Type made to measure’, 1987), Schrofer presented many of his experimental alphabets from the 1960s and '70s. The booklet was part of a series of goodwill publications edited by Wim Crouwel for Lecturis Printers, Eindhoven.”

This is a clone/remix of Micromoog. This font should ONLY be used to set the titles for a bad Michael Bay movie where the plot features an alien breed of energy drink swillin' robots that fight against extreme sport celebrities in an attempt to rid the earth of BMX bikes, skateboards, all neon colors & fun.
Lowercase carries a full set of X-TREME alternates. This is a clone of Micromoog

Cleaning out the queue. I can't believe this one has been sitting in here for *gulp* eight months! I figure if I don't kick it out now, then it will sit here sequestered for another eight.
The title is inspired by my struggles to space this one properly.
A work in progress. Taking any and all feedback - especially for spacing.
Works best at specific sizes. Enjoy.This is a clone

Prog is a condensed, geometric, modular display typeface with a contemporary sci-fi aesthetic. The design draws from a multitude of influences. Specifically I was inspired by: mathematics, Japanese space-rock, the movie MOON (directed by David Bowie's kid), and the Funk King's wonderful molecular work here on FontStruct.
The principle building block for the design is an obtuse angle segment that's cloned, reflected, and rotated to create an entire letter. Mapping the technique to the whole typeface was a challenge and there are some compromises (see D and U). As is frequently the case with these strict modular exercises the T is the stand out ugly duckling.This is a clone

I took this epic digger while mountain biking in the rain last Friday. No real damage besides a slightly bruised shoulder. But while kneeling on the ground and collecting my wits, I noticed the impression left by my tire treads in the mud and thought there might be a Fontruction idea in there. Hydroplane is the product of that and represents a desire to stay upright, moving forward, with two wheels firmly gripping the terra.

A play on brickstacking, 'Brutal' is an experiment in creating a one brick fontstruction for multilayered screen printing. To use this font, you simply need to layer the uppercase alphabet on top of (or underneath) the lowercase alphabet (see below for a sample).
Obviously, it doesn't look like much in the Fontstruct preview.
The inspiration for this typeface came about when I was putting together this Flickr gallery of modular multi-colored lettering.
The first 25 downloads are all mine. It was a hard one to test.

Loosely based on several styles of letter and numeral forms observed on various aircrafts at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. The museum is home of Howard Hughes Flying Boat H-4 Hercules (aka, the Spruce Goose).
Jetstream is a clone of Perforate. Jetstream's x-height is higher. The uppercase horizontals are narrower. The lowercase 'a' was made two-story. Without the constraints of the perforations, I was able to better center the crossbar of lowercase 'e', 's' and 'x'. Some numerals have also been modified.This is a clone of Perforate

Sawhorse Braumarks is a hops & barley flavored family of dingbats I put together to compliment Sawhorse. They were made to be used as label art for beer bottles. The neighbors and I have home brewed up a wicked spicy chocolate beer to bring in the season. I'm not sure which is more difficult, home brewing or fontstructing, but they sure go well together. Cheers & bottoms up.

Created: 3rd August, 2008 The Slurpee Font - Created and fueled by an unhealthy summer obsession with the world's greatest beverage you can drink/eat with a straw. A little interweb research gave some hints at a few more glyphs than the initial six glyphs in the 'Slurpee' logo. In some cases, like with the 'c' glyph, I noticed that it had been drawn differently in different usage. See here and here.
Being that the current Slurpee logo is Unicase, I decided to try and make uppercase and lowercase alternatives that can be mixed and matched for the unicase feel.
See also Chank Diesel's wonderful font Cosmic, which draws from the old school Slurpee branding.
P.S. The Monster Black Ice flavor that came out this summer was ridiculously awesome.

Pop and lock. Uppercase and lowercase letters enjoy playing nice with one another. Like loose couples at a swingers club, let them run amuck and get dirty.
