—Latency—

A quirky little monospaced pixel font, with somewhat aggressive optical adjustments and supersymmetry.

I'm still working on this, and while a good amount of letters are final, there are a couple solutions (L,?,¢,Æ,æ,ẞ,etc.) that I am not happy with, so feel free to leave any suggestion/constructive feedback that you might have.

That's all for now— adiós :)

I’m sorry to dampen everyone’s day, but I'm sure most people have a some idea of what's going on in the USA—no one here has been talking about it, though, and it has been weighing on me for a while, so forgive me if this feels a little unprofessional.

I've tried to just make fonts, and not war, but I don't view what has been happening as a war—I see it as precursory to a genocide. The building of concentration camps in warehouses, an assembly of "secret" police, even using our own cities as training grounds for military and ICE operations—I'm sure people recognise the patterns; this has happened before.

This isn't just a single genocide, but rather one among a long line or genocides. It runs in tandem with the Palestinian massacre, yet it mimics how Hitler massacred the Jewish peoples, as Hitler mimicked the massacre of the Native American peoples, and even more than the four already mentioned. This cycle needs to stop.

I know I may be late in the game of standing up, or taking a stance, but I've been terrified to even film what has been happening. The violence that I’ve had become known for, including the shootings of Renée Good, Alex Pretti, and more, have felt like a silencing of sorts. 

Don't get me wrong; I've gone to the protests. But there is a sort of safety in numbers—especially Portland's numbers. However, if I was filming a kidnapping, and they were to break my phone, beat me, and detain me, even temporarily—then I would just be another one of the thousands, if not a near million of the people who have already been silenced.

As a (mostly) white guy, I won't be the first person they target. But, if I make myself out to be the enemy, then I will be targeted. Renée Good wasn't even provoking ICE. Still, she was in the way. So she was made not to be. Alex Pretti was trying to help a victim. He was shot in the back with own gun.

They say these are targeted attacks—meant to remove violent, dangerous immagrant criminals—but every day, it feels more and more like they are just killing the people who get in their way.

And so, I am scared.

Scared for myself, my friends, my family, my school, and everyone who has to live in fear because of the presidents' actions.

So, as a teenage boy, I'm pleading, if from the safety that comes with hiding behind an internet alias.

Can we not be silent?

Almost released this as an NFNW, but after a couple more hours in the editor, I realized I did want to finish this. Works best at larger sizes for short text.

Any suggestions to make the “N” less bulky would be greatly appreciated.

Also, kerning is in the works. I’ll see if I can finish it eventually.

Suggestions / feedback about the kerning pairs AV, VA, AW, WA, MV, VM, MW, & WM would be helpful—I can't quite figure out the spacing I like.

KERNING PAIRS COMPLETED (so far):

 • (A-B)(A-z)

 • (A-z)(A-B)

 • f(a-z)

 • (a-z)f

 • a(A-U)

 • (A-U)a

 • 7(1-9)

 • (1-9)7

Looks boring, but there’s a lot of work that went into it, I promise. 
There was probably a way that this could have been done a whole lot easier, but oh well.

 • 1.66x1.66 brick scale

 • connect bricks only

An experiment born from a different experiment. 5/3 x 5/3 brick size filters. No composites, almost no nudging, and only a couple instances of brick-patching. Lowercase is the same as uppercase with a few alternates. Full circles for closed counters, half circles for open counters. There are a couple other similar ideas in the works, hopefully done by next month if I have time :)

LN(VERSE): A kind of "off" 15 segment display with two light levels. Capitals are an inverse of the lowercase. Inverted [] on (). Filled grid on $, half tone filled grid on #. The "Outlined" grid is on the ~, so you simply have to type it before the letter you want to have the outline on.

NOTE: I originally made most of the font with the "outline" baked in, but I thought it better to leave it optional so it could be more versitally used (especially if you stack them to create coloured versions). It was a little more work than I thought it would be, but in the end I'm happy with it, considering I made this on the little time I didn't have homework to do.

tool-ish thingy, mainly expieremental. feel free to use any of this stuff.
anyways good to be back!

this was more a concept than a style Idk

also this is like the only thing I could come up with that was remotely related to the competition. 

A - 4     C - ©     E - 3     G - &     I - 1     O - 0     R - ®     S - $     Y - ¥     Z - 2    a - @     b - 6     c - ¢     g - 9     s - 5     t - +

(numbers) + (punctuation + marks) + (lowercase) + (bad + kerning) = (numbercomp + entry)

I have another idea, but I don't know if it will be finished in time, so... yeah.

if you have any suggestions for improvements, feel free to comment them down below!

Another terrible font for y’all to laugh at. 
planning to add more glyphs soon.

(WIP)

Attempting contrast at an unusual angle. This is probably going to be caps only, since I don't think I have enough creative energy to make it through lowercase.

also spacing and kerning are all over the place, still don’t know how spacing works in conjunction with serifs. Sorry bout that.

anyways any and all feedback is appreciated.

“Does this font look trustworthy to you?”

This took a while to make but I’m very happy with how this turned out (even though this is far from finished!)

If you have any suggestions for improvements, please tell me in the comments and I will try them out if I can.

inspired by frodo7's most recent work, this is the result of me trying it for myself. Still, this is far from perfect, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

THIS MAY BE EXPANDED APON IN THE FUTURE.

IT WAS JUST A WASTE

3x3 pixel font

A simple lowercase only font were I experimented with several aspects of the letter.

Fontstruct is surprisingly flexible when it comes to composites.

A mix of composited curves and lines. Many thanks to elmoyenique for the lowercase design.

DEFINITELY not done yet. inspired by some of Vertigokid's creations. 

A re-textured version of check point. 

I accidentally swapped a few bricks, but it ended up looking cool, so I cloned it and fixed the clone. 

Bold version of filler.
