My first fonstruction. A variant of the basic 5x7cell digital font. Added some life to it by making all corners rounded. This gives the font a softer, "melted" approach. Plus, it looks better in big sizes...

a univers-like font inspired by the posters for the "haus der kunst" in munich.
there's a "real™ font" called PUNKT™ that i discovered after re-designing this one in the linotype-library.
PUNKT™ features lowercase only, numbers, punctation, some additional characters AND professional kerning!
HAUS is a RE-DESIGN and differs in some glyphs from PUNKT™.
I completed the set with small caps and small digits and developed text numbers.
There are also some alternates and some "ligatures" to improve the metrics without kerning (use 'find and replace')
enjoy!This is a clone of HAUS

Tired of Eurostile? Well here is Aerostyle! Inspired by Masayuki Sato & Tsuyoshi Nagae at Maniackers Design.

A "deconstructed" exercise. I got the idea when I fontstructed in a grid that turned out to be a bit narrow. I could only place two of three horizontal lines where I wanted them, so I decided to see what happened if I simply skipped the third. The result turned out to be quite legible even though many glyphs had gaps where the important baseline should be. I especially liked the lower case letters. The concept is presumably not unique though...

A fat face, in the same school as "MegaSpacer", but this one has more bulk and huge differences between thick and thin. And it comes with upper case characters.

A trifle, really. Easy modular build and basic, simple bricks. Heavily inspired by 224MKSD Black by Masayuki Sato. Despite the angles and edges, I find it quite legible. CCA licensing – feel free to clone and play around with this one.

My remix of "Revolution" by Douglas Carter, 1994. I made it a bit heavier and added upper case characters. It´s a robotic deco style, very square and compressed, but slightly rounded inner corners (visible at large sizes) adds some life to it.

Any cred for this font should go to Rian Hughes. It is more or less a carbon copy of his font "Data 90". Saw the font on the web and thought it would be suitable for a very small personal project I had going. Instead of buying a license, I decided to make my own personal replica in Fontstruct...

Square meets slab. Inspired by "FF Tsunami" by Donald Beekman. My variant is more stiff and mechanic. Adds some alternative/lower case characters.

Another retro space/data font. It is a remix of "Straker" by Rian Hughes. The Fontstruct brick concept reduces some of the creamy roundness usually associated to these 60s–70s letter shapes, but that doesn´t have to be bad.

3×9 grid and rounded corners. A simple and modular concept but it allows surprisingly dynamic letter shapes. The result looks a lot like FF Marten by Martin Wenzel.

Based on letters I saw in some fashion magazine many years ago. I found an old note with my hand-drawn sketches of it the other day, and realized it would be perfect for FontStruct. Based on a simple 3x6 grid and very few brick-shapes. Kind of organic and playful letters anyway..

A heavy boxlike font. Exaggerated stroke weight and minimum space within the glyphs. An idea seen before ("Loudine" by Pintassilgo Prints, "GF Special 150" by Gigofonts), but I´ve tried to make something rigid-looking yet personal out of it. I kind of like thoose tiny miniature serifs, and haven´t had an opportunity to use them--until now...

Still a work in progress, but this is a font for quick and dirty musical notation.
z, a, q, and 1 are low 'a.' Each is a different duration (eigth, quarter, half, whole). Use shift on those to go up an octave.
Space is for formatting; one space between notes usually works.
Brackets are left/right staff ends, and vertical line | is the measure divider.
The right side of the keyboard is used for flats and sharps.
Plus and minus are time signatures (still working on those).
Backslash is a repeat sign, and tilde is measure repeat.
` is a treble clef.

Inspired by the fantastic "MICR" font set. And the Solaris font design from the nineties by Büro Destruct (ah, those were the days). Old but good ideas brought to Fonstruct. Fun and easy as pie.

052610. Another quick experiment with thin bricks. 1920's Broadway feel.

well another escher inspired set. however with this one i was also influenced by the soma cube - which is very escheresk itself. actually i don't know if i'm more happy about this set which is much more simple and clean than my previous efforts or that i finally googled upon the soma cube which i had as a kid and wasted many hours playing with...much like now with fs :)
thanks to frodo7 with Homage a Escher and shasta with Escheresk for providing great examples of clarity and inventiveness of design in this genre.

Inspired by steel cut letters from a plaque seen on Typophile (http://typophile.com/node/70172).
I tried to maintain all its quirkiness, meanwhile probably adding some of my own.

I produced this for my "communicating with words" first year module on the BA(Hons) Graphic Design course at UWE Bristol, England. It pays homage to Ralph Steadman and is a true testament to what you can do on fontstruct, if you’re willing to spend a week in front of a computer in your underpants.

I intended to make some sort of an M.C.Escher tribute here. I'm sorry this isn't very complete and far from being perfectly well done, but it somewhat started to make me feel dizzy...;) And even though I'm not very convinced by this, I don't think I'd come up with a way better execution soon.
I hope for Mr Escher that there are better tribute fonts for him out there! He'd definitely deserve it...
It was by the way funk_king's Impossible Alphabet that reminded me of this unfinished thing laying around in my messy unpublished fontstructions box, and made me take it out and finish it. (If you can call 42 characters "finished".)
Also check out Frodo7's Hommage à Escher, geneus1's IsoMatrix 3D, and funk_king's Soma for some other great Escher-esque fontcrafting!
