A VCR font of my own, inspired by other VCR fonts. Very compact; everything stays within a 16x10 grid.

This is one I've been wanting to make. It's basically just a little remake of the original VCR OSD Mono made by Riciery Santos Leal (mrmanet) that also has more characters than the original. Do whatever you want with this. Enjoy. :>

Decided to overhaul it. Mainly changed the x-height to be the same as the original.

A monospace font that mimicks the OSDs of yore. Some glyphs have been taken from datasheets for old character generator integrated circuits, and others have been modified or created from scratch.

An experiment with propellers. It seems to me like something four would make. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

02/08/17: Thanks to the new Kerning feature, a separate "r" is no longer required. Also made the rings a little rounder and fixed the rings on U and u.

I tried to replicate an old VCR font from various images and pieces of video online. A few of the letters and all of the symbols were entirely speculation.

I am a student at UWE and have designed this font as part of a first year typography project. My starting point for the font was the word MOTION. After having eliminated various literal interpretations of this word I began looking into political movement (movement being a synonym of the word motion), in particular the current international protests against corporate greed. The Occupy Movement. Strong, bold lettering was an essential element when designing this in order to give a big impact. This is how I came to experiment with tape and eventually designed this font ‘Occupy.’

Another 2x filter experiment, paired with heavy usage of the Macaroni bricks. Based on the original logo for the Sony Walkman Cassette Tape Players from the 1980s. Type "Walkman" in the User Input to see!

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
