The original version of this font seemed to have a problem with line spacing while I used Word® . A space was automatically inserted before ; and : and occasionally the , . For a reason I don't undertand any line of text using these glyphs slipped down a few pixels which made the pages of text look untidy and reading quite unpleasant.
I haven't seen any reason for this, found no slipped bricks below the base line or above the highest diacritic's edge nor did I see a brick at the left or right of a glyph nor did I 'misalign' glyphs. In desperation I have changed the position and shape of the 'problematic' glyphs as well as some descenders, ascenders and height of some diacritics. I'll check tomorrow if this has improved spacing. BTW, this problem doesn't show up in the font preview of the Fontstructor nor in the 'My Fontstructions - user input'
It is possible that my eyesight is bad, or that I was too tired when checking this font and its parent version. If you happen to spot or know what caused this erratc line spacing please let me know, thanks🤝
This is a cloneMy take on Futura Display. The original has some odd details and inconsistencies, so I made my own version. Some compromises had to be made though. A few alternate characters are in the private use area.

This is my little contribution to the fantastic recovering universe
called LETTERS OP MAAT by the great @Sed4tives about the typographic world of the dutch artist and typographer Jurriaan Schrofer. Btw, I sincerely apologize to @Sed4tives for the undue delay and the time it took to publish this exciting addition to his magnificent series (I'm sure he thought I'd forgotten, didn't he, comp4ñero?). Hope you like and enjoy these two fonts in one.

GUIDE TO FIND GLYPHS:
- Curved left unicase: A to Z + Ç, Ñ, Æ, Œ.
- Curved right unicase: a to z + ç, ñ, æ, œ.
- Curved left numbers: 0 to 9.
- Curved right numbers: for 0 type %, 1=<, 2= =, 3=>, 4=[, 5=], 6={, 7=|, 8=}, 9=^.
- Other curved left glyphs like ., , , ”, ’, ', ?, !, @, $, &, (, ) and -: in their own glyphs, plus :=/.
- Other curved right glyphs: ”=“, ’=‘, '=", @=*, &=#, -=+, .=:, ,=;, $=`,:=\, ?=¿, !=¡, (=_, )=~...
... The work still in progress (diacritics in the oven)...
An earlier (1926) constructed alphabet from Jan Tschichold, based on a somewhat finer grid and a slightly less condensed uppercase and a bolder appearance overall.
With a caps-height of 17, reproducing some diagonals proved quickly to be between nightmarish and impossible, thus the fidelity is a bit less exact than my previous recreation.
For a digitisation that encompass both designs and offers proper alternates, you can look at Peter Wiegel’s Tschichold.
This is a clone of Quick and Easy r0This project was stuck in font purgatory for over two years due to some frustrating issues with consistency. Finally revisited and finalized, here is a simple thin inline deco font, had some fun with the flip-flopped "B" as the "g." Please enjoy~
This italic was more difficult to build than I espected (especially the glyphs K, M, S, X, g, k, x, 2, 5, 6, 8, ß and a few others). There are still shapes that are very hard to achieve using the current FontStruct's tools... but nothing is completely impossible if you dedicate the time to it, the results are often surprising. So it also took me much more time to complete the entire character set, but I'm happy about the final aspect of the font: it looks curiously forceful, positive and fresh at the same time, and I like it, despite not being 100% happy with some glyphs. Kerning isn't finished. Suggestions are welcome, folks. This is my 2024 font for Xmas: Happy holidays to you and yours, dear Rob Meek and all the FontStructors wherever you are!
STF_WALDBAUER — Condensed modernist Bauhaus sans
═══════════════════════════════════
This is rather a heavily condensed sans that sits halfway between a Bauhaus and Art-Deco style lettering.
The low waist, tall x-height, long ascenders and deep descenders give this font a somewhat elegant appeal. The uppercase set is clearly Art-Deco inspired, whereas the lowercase set leans more towards a playful Bauhaus mondernist style. Several characters have filled enclosed parts or other exaggerated features as well as non-filled alternate forms.
The idea for this font was inspired and extracted from a 1930s poster ad by Pál Vince for luxury luggage company Waldbauer.
The FontStruction's x-height is 3,5×1 grid units, so its tiny!
I hope you like it,
Cheers
Inspired by INVASION BLOCK (by the great Upixel), but right slanted, with more glyphs added (206 in total) and some of the originals slightly retouched.
