Unleash the power of the... SLAPPERDAPPER! For the whole family!
a typeface inspired by the music of this artist, billboard lettering and brutalism
a project to unwind from the more complex projects i am currently working on
update 0.2: fontlanger2005 inspired me to make a few more alts that he suggested in a clone of this font
a monospace font inspired by inktraps, reverse contrast typefaces and the works of bagerich type foundry
an attempt was made to create a didone typeface
weird 'a, c, e, f, g, k, r, s, t, v, w, x, y' and more because why not
inspired by droulers and the works of alex slobzheninov
wip, just wanted to publish this for now
inspired by neue machina and lack
added fun alternates in the private use area
This is a clone of Thinlyn (#nfnw)simple sans is... well... a simple 7x4(ish) sans-serif pixel font. but not really. there are a lot of funky details hding in the glyphs. try to catch them all!
this is currently the most-glyphed font i ever have which is not a clone of some other font.
this font is gonna have 1000+ glyphs very very soon!
this experiment is now abandoned. i will work on a new unicode font soon.
anything goes in this book-style pixel font. it is for secret project.
maximum of 11 pixels tall (plus 3 px descender below)
====================================
[1.7d] Still working on CJK and Hangul. Still not even halfway there!!!
[beta 1.7c] More CJK, Aboriginal Canadian Syllabics, Bengali
[beta 1.7b] More CJK but still not nearly enough
[beta 1.7a] I found a stray pixel which stretched the font two pixels too high. It's gone now.
[beta 1.7] ??? stuff? korean jamo, like 0.3% more of the CJK, Greek Extended, and one of the East Asian scripts (the name I forgot :<)
[beta 1.6d] assorted CJK and symbols
[beta 1.6c] devanagari (hindi script), thai
[beta 1.6b] thai and other junks. some characters improved
Small-grid doodle which creates new combinatorial forms.
I considered this design rather rough and unappealing until I gave it negative spacing. This caused the forms to merge together in unpredictable and interesting ways. The lesson here is that sometimes the metrics, not the aesthetics, are what "make" or "save" a design.
Version 1.1: Improved several letters and numerals.

Structurally, this is sort of like a fusion of Ghost Town & Lasagna Cowboy.
Version 0.5

A font made for a LuneKnight, a Terraria mod by yours truly. It gets its name because parts of it remind me of halberd, partisan, and/or axe heads. I designed this to have the vaguely authoritation look of a Didone as well as a borderline-gaudy look that prevents this from being taken too seriously. These changes lent some much-needed character to the prototypical Didone from which this design evolved. The uppercase letters are more heavily ornamented, as if to suggest that they are letters from an illuminated manuscript.
The main texture is a diamond pattern inspired by vent holes in medieval armor. These were often made with a square punch, and help the font look more handmade. Actually, most of the quirks this font possesses are present to help present a handmade look.

Notes
The wider letters are incised, which seems to lessen their perceived wideness by breaking up the shapes. For me this effect lent a more natural flow to the reading.
The ornamentation rules are complicated and factor in lettershapes, English letter frequency, and the existing design parameters. One thing I can concisely explain is that glyphs which normally look fairly plain are ornamented to such an extent that they make others look plain instead (CGJLT1 among others).
An avantgarde serif with a mild horror theme. It takes advantage of the properties of antialiasing/text smoothing algorithms to render a convincingly handmade aesthetic.
Making attractive, consistent, nonpixel serif designs at this grid size is quite a challenge. Making them look handmade is even moreso. I've tried that many times, but this design is the first such one I felt was truly usable. It doesn't quite look typewriter-esque, but blends well with other designs that are.
For this I used many different serif shapes, with each one depending on how the line it was attached to wanted to bend or terminate. This is in contrast to most other serif designs I've seen, in which the serifs themselves are more consistent in shape. I decided against faux-bezier curves for this, because they all looked way too polygonal. I think this is one of few cases where a rectangular O and S enhance the overall design rather than weakening it.
A Quartzthrone variant that looks like fancy upholstered furniture (or cactus heartwood).
This is a clone of QuartzthroneSometimes the smallest and simplest change produces the most drastic results.
This is a clone of QuartzthroneSolid Quartzthrone. Somehow, this looks more "cartoonish" than the others.
This is a clone of QuartzthroneMore multiline Romanesque doodle thing.
This is a clone of QuartzthroneVersion 1.1: Simplified the uppercase to improve readability and made the lowercase more stylish. Did some more kerning, as well.

A double design in which an inner letter becomes the loop of an outer letter (best seen on "a"). I don't know how to finish it, and I might not figure that out for some time, so here it is. Feel free to take it further.
I finally made a folded-/ribbon-style design. This one contains a number of experimental techniques. Most notably, the swept parts of glyphs are allowed to extend beyond the letterwidths and sometimes even the baselines. This enhances the sense of movement, creates some interesting linkages, and reduces the need for kerning.
All of these shapes can be constructed with paper or ribbon, although lots of clever folding tricks, doubling, and pinning down/securing with glue would be required.
Alternate tilde on "±".
