At the end of October I decided to dive into the new Bricks 'Connect'. I started with the lowercase 's' & 'a'. Working out what the minimal size I could fontstruct it in, then expanded and condensed it from there to accomadate the rest of the glyths. You can still see these in the font above (Just before the Latin characters. As I progressed I came to love the thin white gaps, and then tried to have every glyth with some element of the curved white gap in it. Some were more successful than others. As you can see, I have included the less preferred options at the end. I've also designed some of the final glyphs in illustrator, as it was impossible to have all of them with one white line, without help from an external app.
The most difficult glyphs to create and ultimately the most satisfying once completed were the 'V' and '~'.
I liked the look of final font so much, that I decided to create a whole family. Cableguynium 0 (which has Zero cables), CableGuynium 2 (which has 1-2 cables per glyth), and CableGuynium 3 (Which has 3-4 cables).
Unusually I struggled naming this font, I have early versions saved called Flowonica, Rubber Tyre, Ice Skater and Fibropticon, ..... eventually settling on CableGuynium as it was the most memorable.
ANY CRITICISM, GOOD OR BAD IS WELCOMED.
Black and rounded display font. Made with 2:2 filters, x height = 2 bricks (yes, truly), UC height = 2,5 bricks, and descenders = 0,5 brick. Plus: "ff" and "tt" ligatures placed at the "fi" and "fl" glyphs, and a lot of kern done but more in progress. Enjoy, please.
PS: Thanks to @Sed4tives for his continuous, selfless and very helpful help on improving this font. I'm in debt, compa!
When I saw the New Year's greeting from the great geneus1 I started to think about how a font would look with the height of the capital letters equal to the lowercase x. This is the result. I hope you like it as much as I do.
This is a cloneThis is zimmera without scratches, more usable for general purposes. Thanks to @frongile for encouraging me to add it here. Hope you like it.
This is a clone of zimmera eYe/FSUnicase with alternates. I've used Astronef Super (by excellent typographer JF Porchez) and others like Neil Bold (by the inspirer Wayne Stettler) as a starting reference, but I've redesigned the general aspect of all the glyphs and added a lot of new details, which makes this font quite different and special. I like to review and get a personal second look at some already released fonts, and I like to do this in FS. Thanks again for support me and understand that.
Another "little" font: only 1,5 bricks x-height (2 bricks for the upercase) with 2:2 filters. Inspired -just only the rounded aspect- by the great Frankfurter font, whose original (heavy) weight was designed by Bob Newman in the Letraset studio and issued in 1970. In 1978, Medium (the only style to include a lowercase, by Alan Meeks) and Highlight (by Nick Beishaw) were added. Inline (by Studio) followed in 1981. Our well know FSr escaphandro build Choripán, an excellent actualization of the classic font. BTW, my accents and other few glyphs must be improved. WIP.
This font is a not too curious case. It comes after trying to prove to myself (with a high percentage of satisfaction, but not quite yet) that FS can allow me to create pro-looking fonts. I am thinking, for example, of zerena, zchreibengroß, zimmera, zenando, zenantoo, zanze, zinckel and others like that. Every time I finish a font that has taken me a long time to complete, I feel the need to look back and do something more relaxed and simple. Thus, without any pretense but feeling fun and friendly, zikiya was born. Hope you like it.
Spiky shapes and sticks that point in all directions: just take a twilight walk trough a forest in the fog.
The name is Hungarian as we have Hungarian connection in the family and among friends. It means my forest spirit.

This is a clone of zimonart R eYe/FSI was inspired by the recent influx of minimal-grid fonts. I wanted to see if I, too, could manage to get a readable font with very few blocks and a small grid. This is a 3x3 font. I've used full square, indent square and quarter circle bricks. Maybe I can add a few more punctuation marks and symbol glyphs, but I found this size very restrictive. I have not looked through the fonts created since FS started, I suspect that what I have built here has already been done and apologise to any earlier creator but I honestly didn't copy nor clone your work.
A more 'normal' type of university font, familiar, safe, with only few quirks, and as complete as I want it until summer. All letters are on Lower Case. Alternative "s" is on "S". No kerning.
