there's a "real™ font" called PUNKT™ that i discovered after re-designing this one in the linotype-library.

PUNKT™ features lowercase, numbers, punctation and some additional characters AND professional kerning!

HAUS is a RE-DESIGN and differs in some glyphs from PUNKT™.
I completed the set with small caps and small digits and developed text numbers.

There are also some alternates and some "ligatures" to improve the metrics without kerning (use 'find and replace')

there are still some more to come ...

The design is based on this stamp design from 1978 by Gert Dumbar. 

Use font sizes 64, 128 or 256px. Set leading to 24 (for font size 64), 48 (for 128) and 96 (for 256).

37 Downloads37%20Downloads375 Comments5%20Comments598 Glyphs98%20Glyphs98This Fontstruction was produced after plugging in the Atari 2600 the other night and falling in love all over again with the minimalist simplicity of the game Breakout.

A little Jobs/Wozniak drama from the development story of the game Breakout:

"Breakout, a discrete logic (non-microprocessor) game, was conceptualized by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow, after the latter had "rejoined" Atari after the merge of Atari subsidiary Kee Games.

"Al Alcorn was assigned as the project manager, and began development with Cyan Engineering in 1975. The same year, Alcorn assigned Steve Jobs to design a prototype. Jobs was offered USD$750, with an extra $100 each time a chip was eliminated from the prospected design. Jobs promised to complete a prototype within four days. Jobs noticed his friend Steve Wozniak—employee of Hewlett-Packard—was capable of producing designs with a small number of chips, and invited him to work on the hardware design with the prospect of splitting the $750 wage.

"The original deadline was met after Wozniak didn't sleep for four days straight. In the end 50 chips were removed from Jobs' original design. This equated to a $5000 USD bonus, which Jobs kept secret from Wozniak, instead only paying him $375."

292 Downloads292%20Downloads29210 Comments10%20Comments1069 Glyphs69%20Glyphs69My design incentive: A cube has 9 visible edges when placed isometrically (omitting the invisible 3 edges). These edges should be enough to express strokes of 26+10 alphanumerical characters.  Also to increase the contrast, I used a 3-pixel-wide brush for the strokes and dotted the others.  

Shortcoming: Not very satisfied with the imbalanced weight of each letter. And some of the letters are hard to recognize.

59 Downloads59%20Downloads597 Comments7%20Comments726 Glyphs26%20Glyphs26Just a fun one I did last night while watching tennis and reading the latest DWR catalog (see page 72). This is a pattern Fontstruction based entirely on the Anni Albers textile pattern of the same name.

"Anni Albers began a three decades long collaboration with the internationally recognized design company Knoll in 1951. During the course of this partnership, Knoll released five of Anni's designs: Track, Rail, Lattice, Jhet and Eclat. Originally designed in 1974 as an upholstery pattern, Anni Albers' Eclat, was first produced printed on a cotton/ linen ground in various scales and color combinations. Reintroduction into the market as part of Knoll's 60th anniversary archival collection celebration in June 2007, Eclat, renamed Eclat Weave, is now produced as a woven, rather than printed, upholstery."
