So this is what you have been doing all this time. Well, what can I say but...it's superb! Every single character is gorgeous. Your skill, creativity, and daring grows with each new font. Very admirable. An 11.

excellent.

I must find a new word to replace wow. The "chalk" effect looks magnificent in your reverse example. As thalamic says, 11 out of 10. Surely we need a "font of the year" category.

brilliant!

Kix, that's really impressive. It seems an hand-drawn font in every piece of letter. Wonderful!

Although everyone might not agree about Arial and Times New Roman being the "two most important fonts of all western typefaces", I think we can all agree that you've created something incredible here, Kix. In the words of Tim and Eric, "Great Job!".

OMG KIX! Great Job, Awesome Show! Can't wait to see the rest of it! Outstanding!

Words fail me. This is awesome. Fantastic job!

it's always such a nice contrast seeing someone throwing all the modular typface rules over board compared to all the 1/4 circles and 45 degree lines. it's absolutely fantastic.

WOW! Absolutly georgeus typeface, congratulations... KEEP ON WORKING!!

Incredible work! Good use of the irregularities.

The new Featured FontStruction.

dude, you're #1 with a bullet! congrats.

Jebus. That's a lot of bricks.

i will have to ask him something in german because i guess it's his mothertongue and it's mine as well

darf ich fragen ob du beruflich im bereich typographie tätig bist? deine schriften sind ja ausnahmslos gut und zeugen von viel erfahrung/know-how

Arial, Times New Roman
I agree

When can check this fontstruction with 52 characters (26 lowercase letters and 26 uppercase letters)

trully a great one, really impressive!!

patrick

Wow, this is amazing! Just noticed there's nothing past K in capitals.. =p. Lovely =]

awesome!

Rob Meek might correct me, but I believe it is not so much the file size but the number of bricks that affects the Font Mortar's ability to generate a font.

Astounding, kix. :-D

In regards to file sizes, the Bloodletters font is puny in comparison to ariapenciroman. It's file size is only large because of the complexity of translating intersecting curves and circles into their mathematical equivalents. If ariapenciroman used circles, it would easily be over 100KB.

The Bloodletters gridspace is about 25x15 which covers an area of about 375 bricks per glyph. The ariapenciroman gridspace is about 75x50, which covers an area of about 3,750 bricks! Quite possibly one of the largest fontstructions ever! Whew! I guess we'll have to trust in Rob to expand the Font Generator's brick array once again.

Moore's flaw.

Sorry, just me being a smart-alec.

Rob Meek created a monster when he made FontStruct. Now he's got all these crazy FontNerds chasing him, gullets demanding more worms. I, among others, created gigantic files that couldn't be saved properly which led to a techy-upgrade, which facilitated even bigger ball-breaking FontStructions as we all set about using FontStruct in ways never originally envisioned, probably.

Hence, a vivid demonstration of enslavement to Moore's Law; hence, Moore's Flaw.

Sorry. Can't help it.

I think I could say that this one is professional. Stylish shape, good intervals, interesting idea, innovative technique.

My rating is 10.
You are the winner bro.

Hey, Kix - I've got kind of a question, and this seems like the best place to voice it. I'm new to this, and I've tried making a couple high-rez fonts, but when I press the spacebar, the space always ends up being really tiny. Is there a way to fix that?

Nice font! I'm a newbie here; trying to learn and be unique! How the heck did you do that?? Very cool.

Danke für die Antwort. Ich hab eine Ausbildung zum GTA gemacht und bin jetzt im 3. Semester Kommunikationsdesign. Typographie liegt mir auch sehr am Herzen.
Bin nach wie vor begeistert von deiner Schrift. Das einzige was ich anmerken würde ist, dass die Arial zu Prominent im Titel und der Beschreibung vorkommt. Schliesslich ist Arial nur ein Plagiat der Helvetica und hat so eine schöne Schrift garnicht verdient ;)

over the top! i give it an 11

there ae no nubers. are you working on them?

Very nice work ;))))

Very nice work ;))))

What can I say about this that hasn't already been said? Truly fabulous. I love the attention to detail that successfully renders something "handwritten" out of such a structured medium. You deserve a laurel wreath for this one!

love this font!!!! how do you do it? it's amazing! personally i think helvetica is the most important font but that's just me. but i still LOVE this font

I love this font - thank you. It is nice to see something "handmade' amongst all the "Digital" design out there. 10/10!

You did a great job, the white on black image replicates chalk well and having it just as black text makes it look hand drawn in pencil.

great job, without any doubt. beautiful characters that really show your typography skills, great scetchy style, impressive consistency... it might just about be the most professional looking fontstruction. chapeau for this, great work, kix!

still, i think this might be a good point to talk about the limits of this application. even though this font looks great in the preview, i'd probably never use it on any print or web design, just because it's pixelated and will never look truly smooth. don't get me wrong: there's no way kix could have done this better - as a fontstruction. and well, the main reason why we're all building our fonts here is (apart from the fact that it's great fun, of course) that we can't handle professional font building software (or well, just can't afford them either...;P). on though i might just soon get crucified as the big enemy of innovation, i think using a huge number of bricks to get somewhere close to a smooth appearence will at the most bring you to a concept scetch of a font that would have to be produced in a vector-based font software to actually be really useable... and then it might just be more efficient to invest the undoubtedly considerable amount of time you put into fontstructing it into learning to work with the real fontdesign software.

but then maybe it just pisses me off to see such a great font and not to be able to print it in poster size...;)

wie dem auch sei, trotzdem eine wunderschöne schrift, und verdientermassen die nummer eins auf dieser seite...:) grüsse aus der schweiz!

This font is truly amazing! Compared to my fonts, it's, like, a god.

Love it. Great work.

Wow!
Really nice!
I'm lookin' forward for the symbols!

i like you`re typographi

Thank you, it's really great! ;)

hey chef.
wirklich gelungene typo, besonders die tropfenform bei g, j... gefällt mir sehr. hab versucht, auf dein myspace zu kommen, da seh ich aber auf firefox nur den background, sodass ich nichtmal den addme button finden konnte:)
meins ist: www.myspace.com/cam_ill
vielleicht könnten wir ja in zukunft mal zusammn was auf beton typographieren..
schönen abend und grüsse aus hot india.

can this be use in adobe photoshop?

hey, maybe, since you are worried about the file being too big, could you make a whole new font file for the numbers?

i LOVE this...must've taken forever! :)
good work

Coolest chalk/pencil font evver!

"Font Generation error

I can't download it...

:(

thank you !!!!

ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ !!!!
:) :) :)

Beautiful.

should this be 1.47 Kb?

the downloads on this site seem to all be seriously messed up

This is absolutely beautiful. How you pulled it off is a mystery... but this is one of the best fonts on the site.

Just came across this (while cruising the site) ... it's amazing

As a suppose you know. When typing two j:s after each other (jjjj), the letters overlap. But how often do you have two j:s... Really great font. I want the full character set!
