Words are often read by looking at the shape and not spelling, what I have attempted to do with this typeface is to make the reader focus more on the letters within the words.
As the name suggests, Balky can be awkward to read due to some of the letters looking similar, as well as its chunky build, making people have to use the context of the sentence. I hope this will make an impact on how well people engage with some text as well as being aesthetically interesting.
This is a cloneIn school I used to hand-draw fonts wherein every letter was cut down and relied on the letters around it to form itself. This is an attempt at doing the same with Fontstruct bricks.
"Cadcutters Print" is an anagram for "Truncated Script".
Since it's a bit tough to read it unambiguously, I also consider it a very weak cipher.
Original size: 5.25px (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
My most recent debacle is no longer a tragedy thanks to Sed4tives (Thanks!). ;)
I made an extra long space in Specials so that the line height and/or leading would work out with the 2x2 blocks (at least, in Fontstruct previews).
The idea is to have a spinning ying-yang symbol as the pattern to qualify it as a counter. Plus, it's a container, using the negative space where the pattern is broken-up, to define the characters. I also used mini ying-yang symbols to round some of the edges, or perhaps to define a boundry that required it.
because negative space is all the rage these days
i put like 0 effort into this so there might still be some font left over, lemme know if you find it
btw how many times has this been done before? i'm genuinely curious
recommended use: don't
alternate name: the emperor's new font
Display font. Built on the basis of a module: a pair of leaves. If you count the number of leaves in a letter, you get a lot, and if you count the number of leaves in words, you get a whole forest. Therefore, the font is called "Forest".

52 characters for the basic Latin set, 10 numerals, 36 punctuation characters, 66 characters for the Russian language set

Please let me know what do you think :)
An experiment to see if 3x3 fonts are more legible when drawn in negative space. I consider this to be not only a success, but also the most readable 3x3 design I have seen - particularly the uppercase.
The successors Megashark and S.D.M.G. are more useable and more stylish respectively, while Minishark strikes a good balance.
This is considered an E3x3 because, while it's created in a 5x5 grid, it has an effective drawing area of only 3x3. The outermost square only has pixels drawn in it when the interior design dictates such.
Pandora's Blocks is a new kind of box. A better box. A box that contains things unheard of in the world of humans, a box that dissolves problems and anxieties and casts them unto the wind, a box that turns the words you say and the thoughts you think into ambrosia. Do the right thing and don't not not de-un-open the box. There are bad things living in there.
