I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I could be accused of having curiosity a mile wide and an inch deep (something Americans are accused of). I'd be good at gameshows -- I have a smattering of knowlege in a lot of subjects. I used to be able to identify zillions of fonts at a glance but passing fashions and Father Time are fighting over which gets to defeat me first.

This is half-baked, but hey. I'm (reluctantly) going to have to forego some of those pesky diagonals because they're looking just a shade on the wrong side of weird. Particularly in the caps.

a silly sixties-style font. I've got a different notion for the l/c characters which I've yet to get to.

I derive a lot of amusement extracting round forms from straight sections. Don't ask me why.

Here's one I've had on the back burner for ages but last night I had the brainwave to soften nearly the whole thing and it's gelled a bit more. Gelled or gummed, whichever takes your fancy.

A cross-dressing Compacta. It seems every time a design with a gazillion bricks fails to save (slantfest)I just have to knock off one that uses as few bricks as I can manage. So far both of these "harrumph" reactions have turned out pretty well.
Is this telling me something....?

Can't decide about that lower-case "s". I might try alternate cap M, W and N using diagonals but now my eyeses are telling me enough.

A cross between a slab and an I-don't-know-what. Works surprisingly well as a text face. Although it's quite quirky, setting it in a block seems to iron out the strangeness.

I can see I'm on a hiding to nothing with that damned cap "S". The lower case s is -- sort of-- acceptable, but it will be a miracle if I can avoid an ugly transition between angles in the x-bar.
So near and yet so far. All the cap single bowled letters could do with a more curvaceous aspect. If I manage to beat the "S" into shape I might have to take on the challenge.
Talk about a sucker for punishment.This is a clone

my first attempt, so it isn't a real font at all. in a previous life, perhaps I was a governess. I can't imagine what you'd use it for, but you never know...

It's childish but I want to be one of the first to use the sexy new bricks! I'm rushing to market before everything is ready. Again.

I needed a bit of light relief after the impossibility of the ill-fated "experiment".

I started out quite enthusiastic about this one but now I've cooled somewhat.
