We (the place where I work) are attempting to brand ourselves because our field is getting a bit too crowded and we don't want to get lost in the clutter. In the process, we are exploring a lot of different styles. Not that we are unsure how we want to proceed or what our positioning will be, we want to ensure nothing obvious is overlooked. In the process, a lot of ideas are generated, some discarded outright while others —as long are they support the planned positioning— are pursued long enough to recognize if they are worth exploring further...or not.
Some letters from this font were developed as part of one of the proposed wordmark. Overall, it works without breaking any of our internally established rules. The problem is one of extensibility and adaptability for unforeseen future needs which this font is prone to cause owing to its personality. The logo work was done in Illustrator, of course. However, to see if the typeface has potential beyond the few glyphs of the wordmark (and not in small part due to its modular nature), I worked out the remainder of the letters here in the fontstructor. :-)
I'd appreciate it if I could have your constructive criticism on each or any of the glyphs and how they could be improved. Specifically, I am trying to avoid awkwardness in the coming together of any two letters. As you can see, it's very much a work-in-progress.

Ignore the preview window. View the sample.
[If you are going to use the preview widget, slide the PXL setting to around 60% point.]
A long while ago, I came across some logo or font or something that said something like 'raptor' or 'captor' or something. This font owes its existence to that...er...logo. But it has been futzed with umpteen number of times so it only has a distant cousin look to the original. I searched and searched my files but couldn't find the original. Checked google, bing, behance and logopond too; no luck.This is a clone

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

For use at pixel level. Also works at 32pt×x, where x=1,2,4,8,etc. ----- This font has been a long time in the making. The dots are such that the curved shapes and squared-off letters just would not resolve to an equal height no matter what I tried. Then after the mixed x-height that came about in yesterday's la Cross, it occurred to me to just let the letters be as tall as they wanted to be. It seems to work for some odd reason. Can someone please explain why it works?This is a clone

This came out of the same exercise that produced FIROX.This is a clone of fs FIROX

It started when kolarek posted the RÖFIX logo as his inspiration for his Blokinjo FontStruction. I wondered if that logo could be recreated exactly in FS. Turns out, it could. Having done that exercise, it was time to move on to play with other character designs. In a short while the whole set was done that matched the logo characters. Then the playing really began. Over the last 11 days, enough variations for each character were generated to fill three fonts. This is just one of those three.

Lay The I Flat on top of this to fill in the missing parts.
