FontStruct bricks used to build a font set made of LEGO bricks.
Note that "_" can be used to add a blank space six units large, and "^" can be used to add a blank space one unit large.
Use Legorama Fill to add a perfectly matching color to the text letters.

hey fellas.
let me introduce my personal CROSSOVER of "arial" and "times new roman", two of the most famous fonts of western typefaces.
nicely presented in a scetchy pencil drawn quickie style :)
it's just lower case yet, but i wanted to share it.
upper case, numerals and symbols to come. really :)
this is especially tasty in small pixel sizes! thanks for attention!
try it...

Well, apparently everybody here likes building letters... And I'm sure everybody got told at least once to finally shut down that damn computer while fontstructing.
Here's how you can go on tinkering fonts even with the computer unplugged!;)
I had carried this idea around with me a long time ago, doing some sketches, but abandoning it cause I thought all the thin and dotted lines would go beyond fontstruct's possibilities. Until funk_king proved me wrong... Thanks for the re-inspiration!
I think this is pretty self-explaining. Cut along the solid lines, fold along the dotted lines and put some glue on the shaded parts, put it all together, and there you go with your new toys!
Unfortunately it was impossible to fill all the inner sides of all the counters, but I tried to leave them open where you'd see it least. There might also be some bugs, I haven't tried them out yet. Pure brainwork so far... (My brain's still in the freezer to cool down a bit) In case someone ever actually uses them and finds something wrong, please let me know!
Hope you like it!:)
Check out the fill font if you wanna print your own custom-made design on the letters!

This one has been called Nova. That is simply due to the fact that the letters A, N, O, and V were the first that I tried out when starting this typeface.

This took me many, many hours of trying, learning, erasing and restarting. Especially the design of the caps was hard; sooo many possibilities! However, i'm proud to present you my first real blackletter font :) I would like to add some more glyphs to the "more latin" set, but the size seems to be close to the download limit. It's downloadable yet, but i had to erase some glyphs...
ps:
there's an alternate "a" on "@",
and some decorative stuff on "#" and "*".
cheers

FontStruct bricks used to build a font set made of LEGO bricks plugged on a baseplate.
Note that "_" can be used to add a blank baseplate six units large, and "^" can be used to add a blank baseplate one unit large.

Periculum. Rooted in the latin word for 'Dangerous.' This was an experiment in using FontStruct without filters. It reminded me of why I use filters 90% of the time. There aren't as many solutions possible.
Periculum died after a bad copy and paste malfunction. The resurrection process was like walking on eggshells, but here it is. Lowercase was rushed a bit just to get it out there for Aphoria.
The smoothness comes with the combination of preview scaling and anti-aliasing. It has to be scaled at just the right size to look convincing for on-screen purposes. This makes it more ideal for non-print related usage.

101815. Symbols added. Preview looks normal on the font's page, but not on the 'Handgloves' listing.This is a clone

This is done under pressure of time.
There will be some more alternate glyphs, but i got to leave the PC now :(
Hope it's a well competitor though...

No reference used at all. This is me drawing Paul Renner's original Futura from memory, without intending to. Actually, I was going for something more Avante Garde. It all started with the O and developed from there. The hardest letter = S. It was a real pain in the S. It was interesting afterward to compare the letters to Futura after finishing the caps.
Futura - It was like the Helvetica of 1928.
Bezziaire is an early experimental simulation of Bezier curves with FS2.0. Zooming 30% and below renders best results.
Horizontal optical compensation added for the circular glyphs, as well as baseline overshoots.

Oh yeah, this also has preliminary involvement with shasta's circle competition, which is seriously humbled by his Circle Cult.

I used a high-resolution grid and lots of FS 2.0 features to create this.
The x-height is 132 grid squares.
I used many of the new angles enabled by FS 2.0 (1:8, 1:6, 1:4, 1:3, 2:3) in an attempt to create very smooth curves.

Thought I might just also join the party of 2.0 curves. This is based on an attempt to come as close as possible to a perfect circle, trying to beat Gene in the competition for the most accurate circle before he pumps out another of his miracles...;) The "o" of this font is in that respect my entry to the competition. Just made it into a whole lowercase set for fun...
I suggest everyone who has his own circle for the competition somewhere in a font, tags it with "circle competition". Absolute accuracy shouldn't be the only criteria; if you manage to get an accurate circle on a small grid size, it should be rewarded as well. Mine has a 20 pixel stroke width and a 116 diameter, so I'm sure smaller solutions are also possible.
Due to its pretty large grid size this is getting dangerously close to the limits of the preview widget, so be patient when previewing it.

Xerro. Because it started with the o, and it looks like zero, even though there's no numerals. Another faux bezier helveticaesque looking sans serif experiment. Lowercase for now.

A quick test of the new fractional composites. And to see if there are any abnormalities that come up.

Legere. Latin root of the word 'legible.' An attempt at an original legible serif typeface. No single reference used, but I did keep the Serif section of the FontBook always open. After finishing the letters, it guess it resembles Melior or Renault.
Somewhat inspired after caliopigio released Formal Roman. Maximization of composite angles were used to hammer out smooth curves in a smaller grid space. Cap height=42. I know I can make it smoother by working at twice the size, but at this point, fuggeddaboutit.

052610. Another quick experiment with thin bricks. 1920's Broadway feel.
121114. Revisited the curves and smoothed out everything using subtle nudges.

Renovare S2. Solution 2 or Serif 2. Clone of Renovare S1.
In contrast to Renovare S1, a thickening of the serif makes way for efficient curved brick usage leading to a smoother and more natural slabtastic appearance.
Revamped from a corrupted version of Renovare S1 and may suffer from the same instability. Handle with care. Downloaded normally for me. Please let me know if there are any problems. Thx.
