NumbersComp's brief saids: "As always, please do interpret the theme as loosely, literally or figuratively as you wish – it’s there only to inspire, not to confine." That's my point. Here in FS, we can also draw with NUMBERS (= brick coordinates). This is a tribute: my humble fontstructization of a linear portrait of the great Master Erik Spiekermann made by Bill Dawson (©2015). To get the full image, please type: ABCDE (return) FGHIJ (return) KLMNO (return) PQRST (return) UVWXY (return) Zabcd (return) efghi -these last five glyphs are for the name, if you want add it-. And don't forget to adjust the line spacing if you want a good result when printing it. Thanks for sharing it.

This is a clone of zhyghosts eYe/FSMy version of Jan Tschichold’s “Schmale Grotesk - Leicht und schnell konstruierbare Schrift” (narrow grotesque - font that is easy and quick to construct), from 1930.
Turns out it isn’t always “quick and easy” to translate a pen and straightedge approach to constructed letters into Fontstruct’s prefabricated bricks setting.
In expanding the glyph coverage, I tried to remain true to the spirit of the original self imposed limitations, both in terms of grid (e.g. the cramped space for the uppercase diacritics), and of tools (see the solution for superscripts et similia).
The font covers all of Google Fonts Basic set and, given the c-caron present in the source, all of Czech orthography. I may try to add other Eastern European languages in the future.
For different takes on the same source, you can look at Serious, here on Fontstruct, or at Iwan Reschniev, for an extensive expansion in weights and typographic features.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome :-)
My little personal and humble tribute to our Astonishing FontStruct on its 16th birthday, full of admiration and respect for the Great Creator & Big Chief Rob Meek and all fontstructors, big and small, who used it during these amazing years! LONG LIVE FONTSTRUCT!!!

This is a clone of Remigius CSimple scrape optical experiment with eroded characters. You can find a lowercase "c" in the "¢" glyph and "ff" and "tt" ligatures placed in the "fi", "ff" and "fl", if you need any of them. Suggestions to improve the font are welcome. Hope you like them.
