well, this is something new here!
Epic indeed.
 |
I like! I voted 8.6 because I've got a fetish for legibility. (Boring, I know.)
 |
This is quite awesome! The consistency of the inconsistency really makes it stand out. Although every character is great, the way you made s and 5, z and 2 different from each other is brilliant. The only thing you might want to consider revising--and i am being very nit-picky at this point--is not to make p and q mirror images of each other. First Jettison Stencil and now this. Impressive. Another 10. :)

@intaglio: No worries, I can't fault you for wanting something you can actually read ;-)
@thalamic: Thanks. I'm glad you think the s and 5, z and 2 differentiation was successful. That was/is tough. If you look close at the 'p' and 'q' you'll notice some subtle differences. I wasn't worried about the horizontal white space mirroring each other for those two characters as they rarely appear close together in a word. And in the case of a word like 'pique' (as seen below) I like how the horizontal space between the steam and the dot of the 'i' jumps up a notch above the plane created by the horizontal white space in the 'p' and 'q'.

first of all.
this rocks in several ways!!!
but... i got a deep graffiti background... and i'm able to read even the most complex "porno-styles".
but i don't get the sense of that sample :)

I'm realllly digging this, since I normally dwell on the edge of legibility. I would love to see an uppercase. I've got a deep graffiti background too, but I'd also like to see some complex "porno-style" from kix! :)

just a quick post of an old one.
especially to satisfy the one and only geneus1
:P

Great, great urban font.
I'm not really into street culture, but this set spurts trendiness from each gliph.
 |
Great font...so fat and so dinamic... Yeah it rocks
Welldone another time...
 |
HEAVY! and i feel your story, i broke my collar bone a year back trying to shoulder tackle the earth going OTB.
 |
wow/// this is harkor!!! reminds me of some of the imagery freetekno soundsystems use/// http://www.mirekulous.net/probono/septik-nexus/

probably to coolest graffiti style font on fontstruct so far. respect! i'd buy a t-shirt with that sample printed on it right away...
guess i should go crash my bike more often too...;)
btw: i just stumbled upon this by reading the focus on fontstructors article on fontfeed! congrats, well-deserved fame!:)

Thanks shasta. Big ups to the FontShopFeedStruct crew for doing those interviews. The latest interview with Em42 is terrific - really shows the white hot power of Fontstruct.
I had a good ride the other day (crash free!). At the end of the ride I had one of those mud stripes running up my t-shirt from ass to neck. Totally gave me inspiration for a Hydroplane t-shirt, where, on the back of the shirt, the letters would waterfall (like in the sample above) from the neckline to the bottom of the shirt. I think the visual effect would be not unlike a tire tread riding straight down the back of the shirt. Of course the t-shirt would be printed black on black.

EXCELLENT AND DEMENTED !
Please remember to save your work before this time.
