Q: What's with the name? A: At some point over the holidays, the movie Thunderball was on and I got to thinking about jet packs, Aston Martins, archenemies, Blofeld, SPECTRE and whether Miami is really worth 100 Million in diamonds or if it might have been better just to keep the diamonds instead of trying to save Miami. I mean, at the time of the movie, Miami hadn't even discovered cocaine yet and really wasn't on the map. If I were Blofeld, I would have picked an entirely different city to hold a bomb threat over. It was the sixties after all, take out San Francisco. Incidentally, at one point in the movie Bond finds himself in the Bahamas in the middle of a junkanoo, which is a kind of street fair where folks wear insanely colorful costumes (mostly of feathers) and dance around. Junkanoo! Now that would make a great name for a font. Much better than Thunderball. Is it too late to change the name?
Q: Your recent output - including this clodhopper - seems to be stuck on the 1.8 brick size filter, is your filter toggle stuck or something? A: Your Mom's filter toggle is stuck, buddy! And my next font will be called Clodhopper, and it will be yet another font built at 1.8 and it's going to be big and thick so you'll really feel it when I beat on your skull with it.
Q: Whoa! Touchy. Ok, how about that uppercase 'T', it's awfully funny looking, you gonna change it? A: Oh Boy. You just don't know when to quit, do you? The 'T' began as a spacing compromise but over the last few days it has grown on me - overtaken me really - like some saccharine soaked pop song that I hate but secretly love. So back off on the 'T', it's not going anywhere.
Q: Any last thoughts? A: Blofeld, Junkanoo, Clodhopper - all rad names for fonts that have yet to be born. Q.E.D.

This typeface is for my typography project to design my own typeface. It is vaguely geometric; every stroke that would normally be curved has a curved edge to it, and every straight edge uses a flat block or a sharp end. All straight strokes begin with a flat block and end with a point, and all curved strokes begin with a block and in with a curved flourish.
The name "Butterknife" was inspired by a group we made in class by grouping together people with similar faces. Ours became the group Buttered Toast. My partner's typeface was reminiscent of retro type and she titled it Toaster. Likewise, I realized the shape of my characters were slightly knife-esque. Thus the Butterknife typeface was born.

This is a heavy octagonal font with characters that are not separated from their neighbors on either side. The result isn't connected script, of course, but the proximity gave the font its name.

This is a bulky octagonal font with unfilled diagonal corners and few frills. Characters that are usually drawn with ends curving up or down have been constructed with plain horizontal bars instead (e.g., "C" and "g").

A fixed-width cousin of UltraBoldProportional. My monospaced fonts are usually created before any proportional versions, but this time the order was reversed. This is a clone of UltraBoldProportional

Unlike my other fonts, this heavy octagonal one is proportional throughout, rather than entirely or mostly monospaced. In general, each symbol is only as wide as necessary, with none of my usual fixed-width manipulations.

Further exploration of the...this...style of type design. I was going to do the uppercase but then I realized that I wasn't. Go figure.

I really like the way this one turned out. It uses minimal grid blocks to achieve the desired effect (although at ~2x2 and the slivers and the pinhole dots, there are a surprisingly large number of actual bricks used per glyph than evident at a quick glance, although not a single overlapping brick is used without express purpose). I think this is my favorite of all the ones I've done so far. It is with nervous anticipation that I let it free. Go forth and propagate, young font; it's You v World!
