Typeface based on the work of Victorian Designer and Architect E. W. Godwin (1833-1886) born in Stokes Croft, Bristol. He was influential in the Aesthetic movement that created "the look" of Victorian Britain. He began his career working in the strongly polychromatic "Ruskinian Gothic" style of mid-Victorian Britain, inspired by The Stones of Venice, then moved on to provide designs in the "Anglo-Japanese taste" of the Aesthetic Movement and Whistler's circle in the 1870s. A friend of Oscar Wilde, James Whistler and William Burges he was also the father of revered actress Dame Ellen Terrys illegitimate child. Godwin's influence can be detected in the Arts and Crafts Movement. To judge from his sketchbooks at the Victoria and Albert Museum, one might have expected an eclectic historicist, but Godwin, by no means a tame reproducer of antiquarian Gothic designs, was among the first to extend the European design repertory to include the arts of Japan, which had been opened to the Western world in 1853. His work is undergoing a revival since he was jokingly adopted as the patron saint of Stokes Croft by community action group the Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft. The group aim to to put some of his finest architectural achievements in the city back to good use as many of them despite being buildings of some historical significance lie empty and unused. His design work is being reincorporated into the urban landscape through the community organisation's programme of public art and his style has recently been adopted by a number of Street Artists including Dones and Felix Braun so his work is undergoing some kind of a revival.The glyphs are all based on the patterns from his sketchbooks.

Fair Isle by Hannah Wood
Fist year graphics student at UWE
This is my first Fontstruction based on knitting patterns and the Fair Isle knitting of the Shetland Isles. The letterforms are influenced by letters knitted into textiles by hand, made up of 12x12 squares.

The finished product from the first communicating with words module at UWE in Bristol. My font is based on the word 'Ornate'. At first I started looking at Iron gates, Jewelry, but after spending about a week trying to make curves on fontstruct and failing each time, i decided to look at native american print and aztec design. This is a clone

A festive font in the spirit of the upcoming holidays :) I'm going to make more eggs, but I just had to release it before anyone else got the same idea ;P
Numerals are more solid shapes and letters are crazy patterns (There's even a captain's decoration on the G)

How about this way, Xenophilius? :^)
It looks, err, rather covoluted at the default display size. Try zooming in! 8)
P.S. There’s a starting character on Í (option+shift+s for Mac). Spaces can be used to pad the wave effect and create shapes and background textures. Enjoy!

I - cut by a knife
J - error
K - look at the shape of K - it's an arrow and it's flying towards itself
L - pixels, glass, pixel glass
M - Sector-ish
N - sunset
O - rectangle test, something like DirectX benchmark
P - sawtooth
Q - accent on the tail
R - blown by wind
S - fizzy
T - tribal
U - pixel art?
V - outline
W - something...
X - a wrench
X - diagonal stripes
Z - shiny
0 - growing diagonal stripes
1 - Chinese window
2 - gradient lightening
3 - retro-striped version of 2
4 - dotty
5 - gradient darkening

Influenced by train station displays, till receipts (dot matrix), Germanic runes, stitched patterns, nomadic decoration, grid-based structures, and Connect 4. Created for a Graphic Design Level 1 project with the chosen theme of 'repetition'.

I created this typeface for a 'Found Type' project basing my designs around the word ornate. I initially focused on more of a traditional outlook, taking inspiration from classical architecture. However as my work progressed i began to take a more subtle response, studying more natural/organic forms as well as pattern design.

For my first fontstruct I started with the word Chaos and worked with the idea of pattern or 'anti-pattern'
I looked at artists like Bridget Riley and Josef Muller-Brockman and how I could interpret their kind of work but in a fractured way. I worked with collage before transferring my ideas on to font struct. It is work in progress as I am not happy with it at its current state but am stuck for ideas; every time I alter it it looks worse.
Suggestions and ideas are very much appreciated.

This type face has been derived from order, initially by looking at different types of order in the natural and man-made world. I looked at sequences and patterns, which led me onto numbers and games. after playing with a few ideas i have decided to work on a typeface based around the well known game domino's using solid fonts such as Impact as inspiration for the letter forms.
This font is under construction so let me know what you think and if anything needs changing.
Cheers

Symmetric patterns difying legibility. Each l/c letter consists of two different bricks in a square copied diagonally. The u/c are the same as the lower case but copied into four (making a fifth in the middle).

Inspired by perforation patterns; seemed only natural to kern it to within an inch (should be pica en?!) of it's life! alternate z and ampersand under $ and _ respectively). Best viewed with sample text.This is a clone

Block02 is the new experimental fontface by BlueTypo inspired in patterns and dotted typography, performs well in large sizes. The principal function is decorative but if you want to use it en large text, maybe nobody can read it. ; )
Download, test and share it.

‘Schablonenschrift’ by Albers 1920s.
‘v’, ‘w’, ‘x’, ‘z’ are broken.
I would have made a different ‘s’.
