This is an unofficial forum I have made for FontStruct tutorials and educational materials. Want to know how to do something, or how to make a certain style or effect? This is the place to ask. I am not part of staff, and am far from being the most advanced user on here, but will pass on whatever I can.
I have been writing an FS video series for some time, but it has proven very time-consuming to make the series as comprehensive (and as high-quality) as I would like. It has also occurred to me that I can teach a lot through simple text and graphics. This is my attempt to create a knowledge hub for FS where all the good stuff is in one place. If you make a tutorial or expand on mine in some way, you're welcome to post those here as well.
Please keep the discussion topical. This page is about tutorials, requests and discussions for them, etc. Idea Soup is more of a free-for-all and anything FS-related is accepted there. Idea Soup is also a good place to discuss tutorial ideas, since we can work out exactly what needs to be taught there without clogging the comment section here. (There is a limit on the number of comments this page can have, right?)
This page is open to users of all languages, but we may have to use Google Translate to answer you. Sorry in advance for any bad translations :D

The font used for these forums is Tangereen 2.
Dublin is a slanted slab serif with a corky personality. The mechanical lowercase set was supposed to go with highly ornamental Script caps, but I'm still frustrated trying to make those to work on this...
Meanwhile, comments on the different alternatives of this as it is would be highly appreciated.
It's been a while since I've been very active here FS. I had this very incomplete font sitting around in my library and I really adored the slick, yet modern feel of these characters.
These characters are relatively small, and I felt that I needed to truly push the boundaries with a limited set of blocks.
A decorative insular display font.
This is still a work in progress. I'm pushing the new bricks, stacking and nudging to the limit to create some nice flowing shapes. This is also a great opportunity to get working with some good kerning. Once I have the basic character set, this is going to be submitted to Google Fonts for approval.

(And here goes a new font!
This font may be weird-looking, indeed, but it has this particularity to be read the same even if mirrored (if you put the mirror just below the text) as each single glyph is symmetrical following the X-axis (the baseline).
The R, the lowercase Y and some of the numbers were true challenges but I had fun doing them all anyway.
I wanted to do an ambigram-ish font and here it is. Well, good luck trying to do an actual ambigram out of this but this could surely be helpful for a number of other things. You to choose!
EDITS:
1. Improved the $ and tried to improve the Y/y.
2. Re-improved the $ and the Y/y, also improved the U/u and the n.
3. Improved the 2. And edited a bit the b and the h.
4. Improved 1 and 7.
5. Edited the F and the y for them to look less "out" of the font. (May not being an improvement.)
Dot-line thin font. Inspired by Stag Dot.
Modern geometric serif(slab?) font.
