This is the 20000th FontStruction! meek, you must be proud. Your website, up to 20000 fonts! I have been
working on this for months and I believe it to be my most advanced work yet. Yes, my avatar was made with this a. Also, it's clonable.
I originally made this work under adl, but I left the account. So I got to do the very exciting task of having two fontstructor windows open at once and transferring the font from adl to demonics glyph by glyph. Oh, and I forgot to paste djnippa's tool in there first, so now I have hundreds of composites lying around in no order whatsoever. Silly me.
Wow, S v y are ugly. I'll need to fix that. Well, that's that.
Spacing is also a bit off and the font looks horrible in Word, for some unknown reason. I'll work on that issue.
I'm proud of myself because this is my fourth attempt at a large-scale faux bezier font and it might just work.
Lastly, the font's name progressed like this over the 6+ months I've been working on New Humanist:
New Humanist Rounded
New Humanist Bold
+new humanist bold
dm New Humanist
Just a fun fact.
Anyway, serif and non-rounded versions coming soon!
Cheers!

*Updated to 26 characters*
I started this Fontstruction with a blank canvas and blank mind, and decided to draw my phone (guess which one that is!) to just warm up. Before I knew it, the idea for the whole design was staring me right in the face. Hopping around the internet, looking for images and information on which phones to draw was great fun. Who knew that the first ‘personal communicator’ was the IBM South Bell Simon, which combined the features of a mobile phone, a pager, a PDA, and a fax machine. Yes, you read that right! The Simon was also nine inches tall.

A pixel-city. That means it is a pixelated city. A city that is made of pixels. PIXELS, not bricks.
The letters are as follows:
A--Capitol building
B--Plain building
C--Building cluster 1
D--Factory
E--Building cluster 2
F--Building cluster 3
G--Twin buildings
H--Building cluster 4
I--Bridge
J--Skyscraper #1
K--Central Park
L--Huge Building
M--Double Skyscrapers
N--Plain building #2
O--Plain Building #3
P--Airport
Q--Skyscraper
R--Burned-down building
S--Burned-down building 2
T--Space Needle (creds to my friend)
Space--Road
I'll probably add more buildings. Maybe another factory... I dunno.

A glyph made with glyphs, I dreamed this image and I could not take it off of my mind untill I've crafted this that you see. It's a little joke about the matrix of our creations... and now it lives in FS.

A sort of blackletter with no historical references.
0 is meant for layering of the drop-caps.
It needs extended latin characters and diacritics, but you can typeset Latin with it! :-)This is a clone

A font based on my handwriting. This took ages to make (but was a good relaxant from all my studies cuz now is exam period >.<). It came as a surprise how grotesque my handwriting was -- in all meanings of the word.
BTW (in case you didn't know) the name is derived from the word 'ambidextrous'.

More of an exercise than something I actually like.
It's not quite finished either - a few creases need ironing out, although it does seem to work well at all sizes.

Yep another blackletter. This is my first font. I Love blackletter and its formal/modular structure seemed an obvious choice for fontstruct. I wanted something kinda simple and stripped back with caps that integrated well and didn't bring too much attention to themselves. That capital N brings attention to itself...

I was a little bit bored, and this is what happened.
The name is because I have no idea what the origin is, and it's a little ugly.

Another idea that bubbled in my head: a font defined by their shadows, a memory of years ago, when my eyes moved quickly to see everything and I marveled at all.

A basic design which was used for me to dip my toe into the use of 2:2 filters.

As complete as it is likely to get.
Apologies to non-English language users, but adding diacritics would be too big a task (involving between 50 - 150 brick stacks per glyph). If anyone wants a specific diacritic, for a particular use, contact me and I will try to add it.This is a clone of RM Romantic Carved FS1

something i've been working on recently. i'm still looking for a solution to virtually increase my screen resolution, so i would have more grid space. i don't know if the line strength is consistent and i propably won't start with the capital letters until then. anyway i thought i might as well throw this in to see what you guys think about it so far.

Alternate Ligatures: (worth copying)
¬ = ct
` = st
~ = f (s)
^ = ft (st)
# = fh (sh)
AE, ae, fi, fl, f (s) and the long s are in their places within the More and Extended Latin sets (thanks to riccard0 for his advice on the last two).This is a clone

Warning: Work in progress. I'm just putting it up because it finally has a complete lowercase alphabet & so is actually usable in limited cases.
The goal with this project is to create a humanist italic close to a Caslon, but within Fontstruct limitations. The x-height here is actually quite small: 6 blocks tall.
This one seems to stand small point sizes surprisingly well. At larger sizes, it begins to look jagged but that's actually kind of nice. Of course kerning is all over the place. Not to mention the lack of capitals, punctuation, etc. There will be changes. Use with caution.

The LOWERCASE characters are the real strength of this font.

Fimbriae is apparently irretrievable - so this is the latest incarnation, largely faithful to the original. I'm not yet happy with the V and W, but I need to step back for a while. As always, hints and suggestions are most welcome.
