the study of crop (or cropt) circles :) some of these appear in ornaments. when i did that one, i felt many of the designs reminded me of crop circles. so i added a few more :) i've done a couple of other crop circle fonts. but it kind of seems natural to make crop circles out of circles (dots), doesn't it? i have also tried to show the progression of similar designs by trying to keep/group them together, but there are some strays here and there :)
Elae (Ayl-ah-ay) is a test font for a commission for a friend. It was easier to play with the shapes and finalize them a little on fontstruct before I switched to Illustrator and FontLab. It lacks a lot of characters as the commission only called for basics. The vowels are set up to function as diacritics with the capital vowels being used for standalone, initial, and multiple vowel sequences. i.e.; font = font, rogue = rogUe, edict = Edict, acoustic = AcOustic. Sample text looks best at pixel. New characters may be added by request.
Another leap toward the elusive subtractive Boolean.
Each character consists of nine bricks arranged in a 3 x 3, filtered and scaled, composite-stack matrix. Insane levels of smooth detail result.
This filtered, subtractive stacking technique extends those first published here.
Enjoy a private clone to grok my unknown approach. The possibilities are endless...
This started out as a joke, but it just kept getting more interesting to me as it was developed.
Completed countertops can contain at least two pieces: an uppercase and lowercase letter. The left side of the counter starts with a capital letter, which has a corresponding right side piece in the same lower case letter. Numbers and Shifted Numbers contain center pieces that can be typed in multiples.
The <>, [], and {} make special faux perspective counter pairs. Use sparingly.
Glyphr is a combination of shapes, design and ideas which I have seen and love. The combination of then creates a very linear chicken scratch script.
Generally you should start every word with an uppercase in order to get the preparatory line, however, the script is equally effective without this.
WIP ithkuil font
===============
DONE:
primare aspect characters
vertical/diagonal tail modifications
above/below/midline dicaritics
secondary and tertiary aspect characters
secondary and tertiary aspect character diacritics
consonantal characters
tail modifications for the horizontal sections
placeholders
punctuation
numbers
===============
The diacritic/tail modification placements would be handled using opentype GSUB and GPOS.
Enjoy the several hundreds of various zero width diacritics and modification characters stacking on top of each other.
Matriarc is a linear script of flowing lines orditing central circles. This is used as a standard alphabet with the upper and lowercase vowels having a different distance to the main line to allow aesthetic placement.
