DIDUDE (Condensed) ― Contemporary Neo-classical "Didone" style serif
════════════════════════════════════
The idea revolved around the basic concept for 'Didone'-style typefaces.
A genre characterized by modern unornamented standard letterforms, which was very popular for general-purpose printing during the 19th century. DIDUDE is by no means an attempt to embarge on a quest trying to deliver a conceptual overhaul of this genre. Its main goal was to achieve greater simplicity, without sacrificing that traditional neo-classical personality. Instead of leaning towards the typically more 'Humanist'-influenced style with distinct stroke modulations and proportional forms, geometry and symmetry were introduced to design this more simplified take on the traditional historical style. It has been crafted with a structural logic of its own.
"Less human, more geometry.."A fusion of geometry and neo-classical elements that blends the past with the present.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Main distinctive features for DIDUDE (Condensed) are:
Tall and narrow letterforms with short unbracketed serifs, vertical orientation of weight axes with a strong contrast between thick and thin strokes, slightly squarish-shaped round characters and its emphasized business-like nature. So the majority of important characteristics that distinguish the neo-classical style have been incorporated.
Certain features that were implemented into DIDUDE's design are somewhat setting it apart from most other, more traditional typefaces in this genre, and most notable is the more relaxed contrast ratio that was choosen for this particular project.
Further personalizing touches were made to stroke endings and curve geometry, providing slight 'calligraphy'-inspired decorative variation with occasional spurs, breaks, curved finials and plain monolinear terminals.
Topping it all off with an ever so gentle height deviation that sparks a subtle rhythm to any line of text. Last but not least, most of the optical clunkiness was addressed and either corrected or compensated.
There is a large character set that includes a little bit of everything:
Basic latin character set, latin-1 supplement set, stylistic ligatures and glyph alternatives, punctuation marks, lining and non-lining text figures, roman numerals, (Partial) Greek and Cyrillic, also numerous non-lingual technical, mathematical and decorative stuff was included.
Only partially kerning for now and this remains a WIP.
Nonetheless, I hope y'all like it so far..

This font used to be a normal Decolike... until someone decided to chow down on it! They seemed to prefer the taste of spurs, as all of them have been bitten off, leaving only semicircular impressions.
"Nervousa" is an anagram for "Ravenous".
Something "fun". Inspired by the many journeys I've made and by train travels. And by my grandchildren's train toys. The angular design echoes small table tops we sometimes use to put the tracks on ...
UC is normal weight and is used in the sampler (font name). LC has some thicker lines for increased legibility although this font is only meant to illustrate concepts (travel, finding new ways, diversification etc) or for logos, shop signs, invitations and similar. Not simple enough for use in anything long or complex that has to be easily read.
Formerly known as "Specula".

By request, a font with the two-toned look of a Pokéball. No filters! The Pokédollar sign can be found on "¢" and a Pokéball is on "•".
"Eviolite" is an item that powers up the defenses of Pokémon that are not fully evolved. Looks like a lavender-colored gem.
AZUL is BLUE in Spanish. I choose the word blue because it always reminds me of ultra bold fonts. But i feel like just "BLUE" looks dumb so i choose "AZUL" instead. Btw blue in Chinese is "lan". Just imagine "LAN" as it's name lol.
Least important stuff :
I got this idea when i was thinking about if I design a poster for a JoJo character. it'd be Kira Yoshikage. And I was like "Gotta need a ULTRA bold font to show he's really danger" Now you know this totally unuseful thing :P
A little more important stuff :
This font is free for all use.
DO NOT PRESS THE B SYMBOL WHEN YOU USE THIS FONT. SERIOUSLY, DO NOT
lqi laugh quietly inside
This is a attempt at starting another collaborative FontStruct community project to thank for a decade of FontStruct's web application and pay homage to its creator, Rob Meek.
The first initiative for a community collab fontstruction originally came from fellow user Funk_King, and resulted in FS Collaboration 1. A second round of creative collaborations was proposed by Geneus1, which resulted in World of Thanks. Two exceptional expressions of gratitude towards each responsible for making the FontStruct web application available, featuring contributions by various community members.
Now, more than 9 years after the second round World of Thanks was published and (sadly) had last seen activity, I thought It would be a great idea to celebrate a fontastic decade under the belt of FontStruct.
Therefor I'd like to propose a third round of creative collaborations.
This is an opportunity for all users who have missed out the first two rounds, and say 'Thank You' for the awesome, worlds most accessible, freely available font creation application, that is FontStruct.
All credits for this concepts originallity should go to Funk_King, as it was his brainchild, and I most likely would've never came up with it myself.
==========================
Guidelines are fairly simple (but could possibly change at a later stage)
1.) Send a message to reserve your glyph('s) (up to 3 max.). People added to the list will be sent the info to access the collab account.
2.) Say 'Thank You' in your own words/language. (Spanish, French, Italian, etc.)
3.)Work should only be done on your own glyph(s), unless approved by the original designer!
4.) The size of the glyph('s) should roughly be between 32 and 64 bricks in height.
5.) The current person working on the font must inform the next person on the list that they are finished, so work will not be lost by working simultaneously. As well as keep the project running.
6.) Once finished, add your username, language and/or glyph description here at the bottom.
7.) If you are posting a message in the comment section from the collab account, end the message with your original username, so we know who you are.
8.) When possible, post a sample image of your contribution in action. below in the comment section.
==========================
The initial font was cloned from DJNippa's 'All Composites saved in MY BRICKS' (big thanks to this user for allowing me to use this fontstruction brick toolset).
It has been slightly modified, removing all bricks from the editor grid, preserving only the saved set within the 'My Brick' pallet. The small square shaped brick in 'My Bricks' that is used as glyph indicator also marks the end of DJNippa's brick tool set. All bricks beyond this point are most likely the result of of glyph-specific composites and should under no circumstances be modified what so ever.
It is also possible to work on your personal FontStruct account by manually cloning DJNippa's or this font, and once you finished your glyph(s) simply copy/paste it from your account into the collab account.
Have fun structing!

This is a clone of All Composites saved in MY BRICKS 3.0Inspired by a font I saw in a children's book. The artist had drawn a map of the world on canvas and used a tiny serif font to label important points on the map. The letters had such a cute hand-made feel to them that I just had to recreate it in FS.
Uppercase letters are 6 grid squares (3 bricks) tall; lowercase are 4.5 (2.25 bricks). IIRC nudging had recently been introduced; this definitely would have been impossible without it.
THERE YOU GO, @bluemon . I DID THE BEST THAT I COULD WITH THE CYRILLIC (THE ONLY THING THAT I TOUCHED). I’M REALLY PROUD OF THE CAPITALS. MOST OF THE LOWER CASE IS OKAY, BUT A LOT OF LOWER-CASE CYRILLIC LETTERS HAVE THEIR OWN “SUB-X-HEIGHT” IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, SO THEY’RE BASICALLY JUST THE CAPITALS BUT SMALLER. THAT WAS QUITE HARD TO WORK AROUND, SINCE THAT FEATURE IS COMPLETELY NONEXISTANT IN THIS FONT (SEE YOUR LETTER: “s”). SO I’M NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT “э”, AND KIND OF RESORTED TO THE HANDWRITTEN FORMS FOR: “в”, “д”, “з”, “и”, “й”, “у”, “ц”, “ш”, and “щ”. I DON’T KNOW, MAYBE @Dmitriy Sychiov (Sychoff) CAN POLISH IT OFF!
OH, AND I DIDN’T KERN ANYTHING, THERE’S A LITTLE PRESENT FOR YOU :D
This is a clone of IDKWIAAwhile i may not have been on this site for very long, i am very thankful for the fontstruct community, this font utilized a few composite glyphs and utilized some help from veteran fontstructors in order to create them. thank you for the help :)
This font is based off the theme 'Wicked'. This is just a draft, but it is a complete set so I will leave it up to show my progress. This font uses spooky dead trees to make letter forms. This was not intended to have anything to do with Halloween, but the full set of characters was completed on this fateful 31st. Feedback is welcome!
This is, in fact, a script for Morse code. Dots are like a cursive i, and dashes are above or below the line. Multiple dash letters P and J have doubled loops. Still a work in progress, numbers and punctuation to come.
Not for actual programming :3
This is a clone of IMPLICIT NONE TITLENOT FOR ACTUAL PROGRAMMING
ESPECIALLY FORTRAN :3
This is a clone of IMPLICIT NONE TITLEInspired heavily by dm Solidus (and several other fonts by demonics), and also by Modular Blackout Bold Condensed (now private, but you can see a sample here). More/less rounded alternates can be found in Latin Extended A. As always, suggestions and critiques are welcome. Thanks and enjoy!
(2017: This was another one that barely needed to be touched--the only edit I made was thinning the outer ring of the @ symbol from a full brick to half a brick wide. I'm getting toward the end of my collection of private but completely finished fonts though...)
Distressed is an uppercase font focusing on the theme destruction. Within this element I looked more specifically at mental health and how social media has an affect on our mental wellbeing. I created a cracked and distressed effect on each individual letter to visually express the pressure and insecurity we can experience from social media.
