Details

Description:
“Scratching” is a form of vandalism apparently derived from sprayed graffiti, in which tags are scratched into windows (usually), mostly of public transportation vehicles and street furniture. This phenomenon has apparently begun in the early 1990s. In Germany, scratching is especially prevalent in Berlin, Munich and the whole Ruhr-Area where literally no public transportation train car is without scratched windows, despite traffic companies spending 12 million € on repairing and exchanging scratched windows in 2005 alone. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, numerous visitors complained about the scratched windows." -wikipedia haha... crazy

Looks like you scratched my monitor! It's both clean and dirty at the same time.

I've been expecting more graffiti styles from you. Perhaps a wildstyle...

Unfortunately this is another FontStruction which crashes the Font Generating software. It’s just a tad too big. It may be a while before anyone can download this.

This is truly badass!

You've really captured the essence of scratchitti (sp?) as far as I'm concerned.

The easiest fix would be to split it into multiple fonts - so clone it and then remove letters. I guess you could make upper case, lower case and punctuation sets. You could also try replacing the circles with pixels, that might help.

er...
btw...
maybe i'm blind or something, but i didnt find any advice for a function to change all selected bricks in one step...
for example:
(:D)changing the bricks from circles to squares!
...is that possible at all?

kix - Can do! Just drag from the All Bricks panel the brick you'd like to use over the top of the brick you'd like to replace in the My Bricks panel.

This is documented in the Quick Start Guide under Working with Bricks.

YAY! i managed to get it small enough to download!

changing the bricks from circles to squares was much better than "cutting" that little bastard into three pieces i think. i just wanted to keep it like... compact.

thx stewf for quick answer!
my fault
:)

That's too cool that we both had Dylan running through our heads when we made our graphic samples (and this font of yours is all about vandalism). I like your selection, and the traffic light colors and love-lorn-bus-punk-scratching-a-poem-for-his-sweetheart theme. I demand more song lyric type specimens!
