Clone of fs Arc Test 1:1, which was started on Fri, 27th August, 11:59 AM 2010.
As simple as this fs may appear to be, it was much more complex to pull off. The curves and angles just did not match. The original version was at filter 1:1. Today--after a long time--I had enough free time to play around. Cloned and upped the filter to 2:2 (well, 1.75:1.75 to be exact). The 0.25 offset was initially put into place for the creative process, just so I know which brick was where. The breaks became a design element somewhere along the way. That caused additional brick placement problems. A full 2:2 filter would have made things much easier. Regardless, I am reasonably satisfied with the outcome. Needless to say, each glyph went through a whole bunch of iterations before settling on what's currently visible. Not all turned out good. The 'V', for instance. Who knows, better solutions may exist.
Take a square, split it horizontally, vertically and diagonally. This gives just 16 line segments to work with. I have a book where the author lists every possible combination of those 16 line segments. That gives a staggering 65535 total possibilities. And that's just straight lines. I mention this because the uppercase grid here is 6×8=48 bricks (counting one 2:2 brick as 4 1:1 bricks). Then there is the possibility of using a whole slew of 4×4 brick shape. I am not even going to attempt to figure out how many total possible combinations that makes but I am sure it is a number much larger than 65535.
The point is, with so many possible brick combinations, better solutions most probably exist. I just may be too narrow-minded to visualize them.This is a clone

Adding the hatch, and having the hatch line up, forced the glyphs to to be shaped in a certain way. Hence this new version of fs BANG!
Designed to be used in conjunction with fs BANG ON! AND ON! and fs BANG ON! AND ON! AND ON!.
...or not.This is a clone of fs BANG!

...and if 'vague' does not mean 'wave' in French, blame Google Translate.

Bitten by afrojet's coloring technique. In fact this fontstruction owes its completion merely to try out his technique. Thanks, aj.

The bulk of this took less than an hour to do. The rest was just tweaks (and me playing Legend of Zelda elsewhere ;-).
With that level of attention paid to it (read: very little), I'm surprised how legible it is at small sizes...and quite a nice cadence to the coming together of letters in words.
PS: Sorry for the burst of sharing and posts. I'm on semester break these days...and just a tad bored. :-)

Nothing new here. Just a little something at a 'minimum' scale for the user-pic.

An on-going project. More glyphs will be added periodically.
