IsoMatrix was a font long before Fontstruct, and was much harder to realize with bricks than vectors. This one is shared thanks to the intricate 3D output of the following fontstructors: shasta's Escheresk, frodo's Hommage a Escher, and funk king's Soma. It is also released for Em42, because it was created purely with the original set of bricks that Fontstruct started out with.Mostly%20inspired%20by%20the%20video%20game%20QBert%2C%20which%20was%2C%20I%27m%20sure%2C%20partly%20inspired%20by%20M.%20C.%20Escher.%20%0D%0A%0D%0AIsoMatrix%20was%20a%20font%20long%20before%20Fontstruct%2C%20and%20was%20much%20harder%20to%20realize%20with%20bricks%20than%20vectors.%0D%0A%0D%0AThis%20one%20is%20shared%20thanks%20to%20the%20intricate%203D%20output%20of%20the%20following%20fontstructors%3A%0D%0A%0D%0Ashasta%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2Fescheresk%22%3E%20Escheresk%2C%20%3C%2Fa%3E%0D%0Afrodo%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F210288%22%3EHommage%20a%20Escher%2C%3C%2Fa%3E%0D%0Aand%0D%0Afunk%20king%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2Fsoma_2%22%3ESoma.%3C%2Fa%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AIt%20is%20also%20released%20for%20Em42%2C%20because%20it%20was%20created%20purely%20with%20the%20original%20set%20of%20bricks%20that%20Fontstruct%20started%20out%20with.

Weird spacing due to double size filtering in conjunction with half bricks makes this mostly unusable. But that's why there's alternate spaced letters instead of numbers...for now. The spacing is compensated to look better in actual use than on the preview. Minimal space tweaking was done on the sample, but wherever the spacing was really off (which was pretty much everywhere), the alternate space character was used.

That's where I planned to leave it in private (and you're probably thinking that's where I should have left it). Check the creation date - it's been stranded for a while. This is the first in a set of text face experiments, and it reveals the beginnings of an evolution of high contrast fontstructing over a minimized grid space. Not all glyphs are how I wanted them to be. Some may be hideous. The spacing is terrible. But as a fontstruction, this one really got me to push the bricks to develop some resemblance of a Times Romanesque sharp serif typeface. Many, many tricks had to come in to play to make this happen at its current state. Overlapping bricks, brick stacking, overlapping brick stacking. It's all in there. I learned a lot from this insane attempt just from the lowercase letter forms alone. I mean, just look at that g! Try it at your own risk. 6x8 grid space, Double XY. But don't worry, this is as bad as it gets. It does get better from here, but only a little bit, so don't get your hopes up.

45 Downloads45%20Downloads4510 Comments10%20Comments1042 Glyphs42%20Glyphs42A tribute to Josef Albers: inadvertently inspired by saberrider and afrojet. This font totally happened by accident. Recently, saberrider created steep, which uses a 2.0 x 1.11 filter setting to smoothly blend the quarter-circle bricks into the triangles. After saberrider created his experimental variable scale fontstruction, it lead me to revisit an abandoned work I did from last year that was done in a similar scale. After getting over the initial disgust of looking at the dismal failure, I started tweaking. Then I decided to tweak the letters instead. It became apparent that I could create a stencil type font that also looked like Josef Alber's font. Coincidentally, Saberrider also has a variation with fontstract, and of course, that Stewf guy has his own family of Leaflets. ;-) Afrojet's sessions came into play in creating some of the letter forms, especially the numerals. The final filter setting became 1.638 x 1.08, which created a nice fusion of the curved and triangular bricks, but was also naturally inclined to necessitate the vertical divide on each glyph. The rest flowed rather easily from there. Here's to more happy accidents. =) The sample is also a tribute to Alber's color theory, showing the names in identical colors, which, when juxtaposed over contrasting colors tricks the eye into thinking the bottom name is darker than the top. The following Josef Albers quote can relate to all things creative, like fontstructing, not just color: "It should be clear by now that our way of studying color does not start with the past - neither with works of the past nor with its theories. As we begin principally with the material, color itself, and its action and interaction as registered in our minds, we practice first and mainly a study of ourselves. Thus, we replace looking backward by looking first at ourselves and our surroundings, and replace retrospection with introspection." - Josef Albers A%20tribute%20to%20Josef%20Albers%3A%20inadvertently%20inspired%20by%20saberrider%20and%20afrojet.%20%0D%0A%0D%0AThis%20font%20totally%20happened%20by%20accident.%20Recently%2C%20saberrider%20created%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F185027%22%3Esteep%2C%3C%2Fa%3E%20which%20uses%20a%202.0%20x%201.11%20filter%20setting%20to%20smoothly%20blend%20the%20quarter-circle%20bricks%20into%20the%20triangles.%20After%20saberrider%20created%20his%20experimental%20variable%20scale%20fontstruction%2C%20it%20lead%20me%20to%20revisit%20an%20abandoned%20work%20I%20did%20from%20last%20year%20that%20was%20done%20in%20a%20similar%20scale.%20After%20getting%20over%20the%20initial%20disgust%20of%20looking%20at%20the%20dismal%20failure%2C%20I%20started%20tweaking.%20Then%20I%20decided%20to%20tweak%20the%20letters%20instead.%20It%20became%20apparent%20that%20I%20could%20create%20a%20stencil%20type%20font%20that%20also%20looked%20like%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.p22.com%2Fproducts%2Falbers.html%22%3EJosef%20Alber%27s%20font.%3C%2Fa%3E%20Coincidentally%2C%20Saberrider%20also%20has%20a%20variation%20with%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F90140%22%3Efontstract%2C%3C%2Fa%3E%0D%0Aand%20of%20course%2C%20that%20Stewf%20guy%20has%20his%20own%20family%20of%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Fgallery%2F2%2Fall%2Fhighest_rated%2F0%2Fleaflet%22%3ELeaflets.%3C%2Fa%3E%20%3B-%29%20Afrojet%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F178441%22%3Esessions%3C%2Fa%3E%20came%20into%20play%20in%20creating%20some%20of%20the%20letter%20forms%2C%20especially%20the%20numerals.%20The%20final%20filter%20setting%20became%201.638%20x%201.08%2C%20which%20created%20a%20nice%20fusion%20of%20the%20curved%20and%20triangular%20bricks%2C%20but%20was%20also%20naturally%20inclined%20to%20necessitate%20the%20vertical%20divide%20on%20each%20glyph.%20The%20rest%20flowed%20rather%20easily%20from%20there.%20Here%27s%20to%20more%20happy%20accidents.%20%3D%29%0D%0A%0D%0AThe%20sample%20is%20also%20a%20tribute%20to%20Alber%27s%20color%20theory%2C%20showing%20the%20names%20in%20identical%20colors%2C%20which%2C%20when%20juxtaposed%20over%20contrasting%20colors%20tricks%20the%20eye%20into%20thinking%20the%20bottom%20name%20is%20darker%20than%20the%20top.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe%20following%20Josef%20Albers%20quote%20can%20relate%20to%20all%20things%20creative%2C%20like%20fontstructing%2C%20not%20just%20color%3A%20%0D%0A%3Ci%3E%0D%0A%22It%20should%20be%20clear%20by%20now%20that%20our%20way%20of%20studying%20color%20does%20not%20start%20with%20the%20past%20-%20neither%20with%20works%20of%20the%20past%20nor%20with%20its%20theories.%0D%0A%0D%0AAs%20we%20begin%20principally%20with%20the%20material%2C%20color%20itself%2C%20and%20its%20action%20and%20interaction%20as%20registered%20in%20our%20minds%2C%20we%20practice%20first%20and%20mainly%20a%20study%20of%20ourselves.%0D%0A%0D%0AThus%2C%20we%20replace%20looking%20backward%20by%20looking%20first%20at%20ourselves%20and%20our%20surroundings%2C%20and%20replace%20retrospection%20with%20introspection.%22%0D%0A%3C%2Fi%3E%0D%0A-%20Josef%20Albers%0D%0A

If Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen were a typeface, it would be the flashiest headline display font, with very little readability, but it would contain the most explosions and roboticity you've ever seen, with a hint of Megan Fox running in slow motion. With respect to the Terrible for already doing this before.
