Description:
The last and most difficult of the sharp serif experiments. Created on an 8 wide by 5 high base grid space. Unconventionally fontstructed while adhering to the impositions of the law of the brick. What do I mean? Just try recreating the letter A. It shouldn't be possible, so I did it anyway.

Very sneaky - it took me a while, but I got there.

Excellent creative use of bricks there... I had a font in mind a while ago that could've done with that trick. Bravo!

I think this submission has put Fontstruct in a daze - I'm sure I only posted that comment once, and with a picture too.

Oh well... it's an A* from me.

Oooh! What a glutton for punishment! I'm smitten, where do I sign up? Second thoughts: 8x5... no thanks.

@chr.s: Thanks. I'm surprised you discovered it so quickly. It took me four iterations of these experiments to discover the technique was possible.

@intaglio: No pain, no gain! ;-) I don't think you'd have any problem with it.
