The heavy version of Capsaicin released back in 2020. Adding thickness wasn't that straightforward due to brick limitations. Alternate construction methods were implemented on the glyphs to create similar inktraps without sacrificing the innate qualities of the typeface.
I would like to continue working on it to make it more visually consistent, but I'll stop at this moment or else it might be a perpetual WIP.
This font is a not too curious case. It comes after trying to prove to myself (with a high percentage of satisfaction, but not quite yet) that FS can allow me to create pro-looking fonts. I am thinking, for example, of zerena, zchreibengroß, zimmera, zenando, zenantoo, zanze, zinckel and others like that. Every time I finish a font that has taken me a long time to complete, I feel the need to look back and do something more relaxed and simple. Thus, without any pretense but feeling fun and friendly, zikiya was born. Hope you like it.
ALIEN WORMHOLE (BOLD) - Monolinear Sci-Fi-inspired 'worm' typeface.
═════════════════════════════════════
This is a 'Bold' style version to the "ALIEN WORMHOLE" type family.
This version has a ton of extra character compared to the 'Light' version.
For now only the two 'Basic Latin' sets, some symbols and a small number of puctuation marks match. And it remains to be seen if I can translate back to the Light version all those extra's that were put into this Bold version.
I mentioned 'type family' earlier, but in reality there isn't a whole lot of family just yet. Since the two for now hardly correlate truly.

Here is a link to the 'Light' version

Stay tuned for future updates.

Accidental Fontstruct remake of Senator by Emigre. Initially reconstructing the lettering seen on this book cover, later found out about it being an existing comericial font. I decided to completed it anyway. But for this reason it will not be available for downloading. Sorry...
A spur-of-the-moment project. An exploration of geometric silhouette conformation and fun Futura-based alternates (specifically, using the circles as strokes).
Glyph alternates can be accessed under the Cyrillic characters.
Inspired by the inner inktraps of Rocky Road by Baharak Pourmirzajan. An extra "g" is at the "±" glyph. The name of the font refers to the science-fiction korean series "The Silent Sea".
This is a clone of Rocky RoadBy popular demand, I'm very proud to present you this recreation/digitization of Maxim Zhukov's Meander (an experimental modular type design from 1972, which was used in cover artworks for Stereolab's Dots and Loops album and Miss Modular EP).
Now supports Cyrillic characters and includes other custom-made glyphs, like numerals and punctuation marks.

Hello again! Here's someting I started dabbling with years ago, but never finished or published. Fontstruct bricks and functions have evolved since then so I decided to give the ‘font’ a facelift and make it a little more complete (still no plethora of glyphs but I'm ok with it for now). Circus wild west meets casino and slot machines. Gambling, gunpowder, acrobats and jesters. Wash down with tequila.
The font is from primitives, while it is more complicated than it seems. The forms are inspired, among other things, by the graphics of Yves Saint Laurent patterns and sharp shapes (resembling a beak), and the name refers to a bird - magpie - which we consider to be a symbol of greed and greed for shiny jewelry (this is typical of these birds, probably a reflex for searching for prey) .
Шрифт из примитивов, при этом он сложнее, чем кажется. Формы вдохновлены в том числе графикой паттернов Ив Сен Лоран и острых форм(напоминающих клюв), а название отсылает к птице - сороке - которая у нас считается символом жадности и падкости на блестящие украшения (это свойственно этим птицам, вероятно, рефлекс для поисков добычи).

Nothing special, it's just I realized that I submitted only two fonts. A third entry, where I flipped arcs of lowercase letter "o" and took it from there. The result is an alien futuristic font that some generations might use in the future. Erutuf is Future backwards.
Reload your brain, ask about everything. Our Future begins in... 3... 2... 1... NOW! NB: Better writing with uppercase. Three alternatives (B, F, T) to improve readability in certain cases are in the lowercase.
04.04.20. Lockdown 2020.
Lockdown doesn't mean you cant level up.
It doesn't have to feel like you're behind bars.
It could be used as a time for personal transformation.
Affecting your outer world by expressing your inner world.
Fonstructing can be a meditative experience.
It all depends on your perspective.
You can fontstruct as a way of creating cool fonts,
or you can see it as creative expression that forms letters,
that spawn words, that serve as the visualization of thought
that manifests deeper meaning. Or not.
Peace, Health, and Wellness to all!
