This one began as a few doodles in my sketchbook. I've adapted them to FontStruct. It's an all-caps typeface, but A, K, V, W, X, and Z have alternate glyphs in the lowercase keys.
UPDATE: I've tried adding punctuation, but the double lines tend to make things tricky in this regard! Still working on it.This is a clone

Use the Big Fat fonts with each other in different colours for awesome chromatic effects.
A big fat angular industrial strength chromatic font. The lowercase contains the fill for the uppercase.
UPDATED 25 February 2009: Made the space character 2 grid units wider.
UPDATED 27 February 2009: The 'J' has been off this entire time and nobody noticed. Now it's fixed. Also fixed width of 'Q' to match new members of the Big Fat family.

Flameon is extracted from the FLAME ON! battle cry created for the most excellent Bubble Lab Collaboration started by kix. Join in the fun already! I thought I might as well make the entire alphabet in the same style without the flames. The lines came from the style of old school renderings of the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four in Marvel Comics.

Just an excuse to release something on the opening day of the WATCHMEN movie. It's a very rough negative linear rendition of the Futura Bold Condensed font that is used as the Watchmen title.
A friend of mine let me read his copy of the Watchmen graphic novel. An epic deconstruction of the superhero genre with multi-threaded storylines and deep allegorical character analysis. A masterful work of sequential art and storytelling. This font hardly does it any justice. Hopefully the movie will do that. Ironically, I related to the character Ozymandias.
Rendered at 1:2 scale. LC has alternating spacing. Dash creates linear spaces.

Inspired by a picture found on this website.
Another diagonal line font so soon after fs Overlap. A mere coincidence. The application of each is very different. Overlap is about negative space while I-Tilic is about patterns and meta shapes. Post samples if you end-up playing with this fontstruction. Have fun.
[ = fi ligature ] = ti ligature < = background fill (negative) > = background fill (positive) ` = reverse tile (above base line) ~ = reverse tile (full height) { = top border } = bottom border | = side border

a V1.0 fontstruct - Minimalist 4 patterns font.
I create this font with my head rotated. It's a classic clean font. It's fun to play with size for different screen result, always readable, very small readable in pale grey, mid size get a cool fuzzy , big size clean and clear.
We can also overlay text to create shade and overlaping effect.

The name is not definite. Capital are black, lower case are white. Use [], (), {}, \/ for frames. Use _ for a "grey space", that connects the words. The eszet is white, for a black eszet use § - or the new capital eszet! I guess the name is definite then.

OK.
Here's "VUVUZELA"
A typeface inspired by the continent of africa, but mainly by the WorldCup of soccer 2010 in South Africa!
To catch on of the strongest associations for me relating to africa, i chose black and white stripes, maybe to remind of zebras or other animal patterns. But the effect also stands for the "swoosh" of a ball flyin by, for just the the "sporty" feel i wanted it to have.
Enjoy it.
There's an alternative "a" on "="
cheers kix

This fontstruction was started a long time ago. Yesterday, being bored (or something), I randomly clicked on page 7 of My FontStructions and found this. Being bored (or something), I clicked Edit.
Back in February 2010, I was able to take this fs only so far and came to a halt owing to geometry and FontStructor limitations. Those limitations, for the most part, seemed to have disappeared in the intervening time. I must've felt encouraged as I've been working on this fs all day today. As it turns out, when you work on something long enough, something will emerge. Et voilà. (I jest. ;)
Oh the soap box syndrome!
Visual aesthetics require two elements, namely, art and design. Let's examine each, shall we, the better to understand whence this came from and to what purpose.
Art has as many meanings as there are people giving them. For me, art is that visual that appeals to one, the stress being on 'one', and serves no practical purpose. Design, on the other hand, by definition*, must serve some purpose, must be reasonably attractive to those for who it is intended, and must stay within the limitation (whether explicit or implicit) of all that is (or will be) involved.
This and every other fontstruction, being visual in nature, has an element of art in it. Keeping the above art definition in mind, and as far as this fs is concerned, the art was my personal aspiration to try to do a diagonal stem of the A and the M and have the rest of the letters in such formation so that they fit like a glove with the A and M (without any effort on the user's part — but that jumps ahead to design). The February 2010 version of the FontStructor allowed me to achieve that very well. The art part was a start (yes, sorry, I couldn't resist the rhyme).
In my experience, any visual thing, no matter how simple or complex; no matter how involved or not; how unique or generic; how &c. and &c. may be termed art as if any one person appreciates it, it is art, albeit to that person only. So, I am satisfied how this fs looks, so the art is done. Also as per my personal experience, design is a much harder, difficult, involved element of getting something done right that also requires appropriate technical know-how to see it to fruition. The February 2010 version of the FontStructor did not allow the 'fit like a glove without user intervention' part. This morning when I started working on this fs, the September 2011 version of the FontStructor allowed me to do almost all that I wanted it to. (I say 'almost' because there were one or two custom bricks I required that I was unable to achieve, quite possibly due to my own inability).
The design confine [—if art gets a rhyme, so shall design—], with every letter overlapping just so, required quite a lot of geometric manipulation (not particularly apparent) to make sure any two letters fitted in properly. It got tedious quick fast in-a-hurry typing out manual kerning pairs (AM, ST, &c.). I had to type out all kerning pairs (AB, AC…RI, RJ, RK…SM, SN, SO…VS, VT, VY…ZZ…&c.) in Word (utilizing handy Replace functionality to speed kerning pair creation) and test every possible pair (even ones that are likely never to be used in reality—QK, for instance).
This being a design exercise, there had to be a purpose. My thinking was, staying within the limitations created by the art part, the font should work as an instant logo delivery system. Type a word in fs Instant—and, hey presto!, Logo (a gogo). It’s up to you to decide if I succeeded.

I want dedicate this font to my father AMD (1922-1995). He was telegraphist for the Spanish Army at Casablanca (Morocco) during three years (1941-1944). He tried to teach me the Morse Code, but I never got to learn it well. But here, now between these bricks they appears some letters and numbers in Morse.
This one is for you, Daddy!

A barcode-like font. Third entry for now, if I don't come up with something new.
