An old idea updated for this event: FS turns 18!... Revisiting an unfinished project is often a good thing. The experience gained over time usually fills in many of the gaps left by the initial attempts. Btw, the kern is in progress. Hope you like it. Happy Birthday FontStruct!
Initially inspired by SB Standard font (2013, Craig Staiton) with many modifications and recreated glyphs... And made to saving half the ink when you print your text with it, which is very important in today's times, you know :))
Esta fuente ha sido hecha para usarla en un día muy especial en la vida de mis adorados Héctor y Trini, que han decidido casarse. ¡Os queremos felices por siempre! ¡Vivan los novios!
Not finished font (kern in progress). An extra "Q" has been added in place of the "©" glyph, and a nice heart symbol appears also at the "™" one. I'll fine-tune some details ASAP, I promise.

“Does this font look trustworthy to you?”
This took a while to make but I’m very happy with how this turned out (even though this is far from finished!)
If you have any suggestions for improvements, please tell me in the comments and I will try them out if I can.

I can't superate chocomotion by four (❤️!), but I'm trying my own soft approach to the 3lines font design world. Hope you like this attempt to clarify from my to-do list. Btw: feedback about the design or aesthetics of some Cyrillic characters would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, people.
IT IS I: THE MYSTERIOUS HACKER WHO ONCE BROKE THE SITE BY REDIRECTING EVERY USER TO THE RICKROLL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE, BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER FONT!
THIS TIME, IT’S A COMPRESSED FONT WHERE NOTHING GOES BELOW THE BASELINE. (THE BASELINE IS THE WORLD’S MOST PROFOUND AND INEXPLICABLE BARRIER WHICH MAY NEVER BE CROSSED.)
FEATURES
• KERNING!
• A QUESTION MARK WITH SCOLIOSIS!
• A Q THAT SNEEZED SO HARD THAT ITS TAIL FELL OFF!
• NOTCHES CUT OUT OF E, F, J, T, AND Ƃ TO FIT NICELY WITH V, W, AND Y!
• INK TRAPS TO COMPENSATE FOR THE THICKNESS OF THE STROKES!
• ALL NUMERALS IN THE NUMBERBET ARE MONOSPACED, SO THEY CAN BE USED IN A DYNAMIC INTERFACE WITHOUT JUMPING AROUND!
a little something I had in my head for quite a while already, finally decided to try and make it in Fontstruct.
No kerning done right now, but maybe some time later I'll do it. though even without the kerning it looks nice in my opinion.
Feel free to clone and see how it was done. (some glyphs like { are quite messy though)
also may redo some glyphs in the future.
UPDATE: cyrillic done
Caps only. Inspired by the cool font "Chwast Art Tone" -or simply "Artone"- (1968, by the legendary master of design Seymour Chwast), "Inkwell" (1992, Sam Wang) and "Dogsmoke" (2019, Humberto Gillan), and recalling the feelings of those unforgettable momments from the "Saturday Night Fever" times. Tony Manero lives! Thanks a lot to @Dmitiy Sychiov for designing these beautiful Cyrillic glyphs.
Inspired by a font I saw in a children's book. The artist had drawn a map of the world on canvas and used a tiny serif font to label important points on the map. The letters had such a cute hand-made feel to them that I just had to recreate it in FS.
Uppercase letters are 6 grid squares (3 bricks) tall; lowercase are 4.5 (2.25 bricks). IIRC nudging had recently been introduced; this definitely would have been impossible without it.
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.
A little experiment with the "connect" bricks (and an healty dose of stacking). I wasn't referencing any specific example of the style (of which there are many), but I'm sure that, looking for solutions as I went, I ended up with something similar to already existing typefaces (and fontstructions).
Unfortunately, some connecting bricks don't align exactly, so I had to resort to approximate them, when possible, with more stacking, which didn't particularly help the already lacking consistency in construction.
But enough moaning, enjoy!
A tech-like font inspired (one more time) by some glyphs from Insider Bold, a work by the prolific Dmitriy Sychiov.
