"A cell is merely 7 feet long and barely 5 feet wide." A poor translation of the famous lines of the Dutch poet Jan Campert. The same measurements hold for glyphs in Metafontstruct. Metafontstruct is not really a font, it is a concept. It is a fontstruct within fontstruct, one could say; or it is a new fontstruct, with even more constraints than the one we're all so font of. You can use it in your word processor to create the glyph you like on the spot. When you're finished you press the spacebar to create the next glyph. The keys QWER ASD ZXCV contain possibilities for the left side of the glyph, TYUIOP GHJKL BNM for the right side, and F;',./ for the middle. The capitals and numerals are just some examples of glyphs you can create. There's freedom within these boundaries, as we're all experiencing in these covidiotic times. If I may give another poor translation of a Dutch poem, by Jules Deelder, a famous poet from my home town who died last year: "Within the bounds the possibilities are just as unbounded as beyond." Not enough freedom for you, looking for another brick? Feel free to clone!
SbB Directorate is my typographic ode to science fiction bureaucracy. Directorate is named for the government in the TV “classic” Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. From the Alliance in Firefly to the Federation in Star Trek, the bureaucratic government is a theme through science fiction, and I always imagined they’d have a typeface like this…
Remember that time in the future, when those mean, hyper-aggressive, sarcastic aliens tried to take over the planet? Those guys were jerks. But I did like the font that they used to communicate with us measly humans. Alternate extraterrestrial realities are the future.

This is finished as far as I see useful for this competition. Based on Spheretta 5.7 by arseniiv from 2011 which I cloned quite a while ago as the uneven spacing-positioning of the dots on the ring could be improved with new fontstructor's features. I sent him a message about my clone but assume he hasn' frequented FS for a while, so he doesn't know about how I developed his idea and won't see that I've used part of his design in my "future comp" submission.
Glyphs for indigenous language Kichwa
A quick font I made for the FutureComp. I didn't get time to do seperate lowercase letters.
Edit: A glitch happened where for some reason one of the ends for 1, 3 and G (and therefore g) were all different from what I made them to be.
