I saw some stringy potential dyed in the wool of intaglio’s original and tried to draw it out. First I added one brick to the x-height; second I added little connecting, er, nubs for a very tightly spaced continuous script. From there, I was basically done, but then had very little restraint and took it to this point, which is now sort of a mishmash of styles (let’s just go ahead and rule out all caps settings right here and now ;)

I am hoping one of y’all fontstructors will chime in with the next version that really knits the job up all nice like! Or, barring that, I will try to tighten it up and continue to defer all praise to intaglio.Clone%20of%20slubgob.%0D%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0AI%20saw%20some%20stringy%20potential%20dyed%20in%20the%20wool%20of%20intaglio%E2%80%99s%20original%20and%20tried%20to%20draw%20it%20out.%20First%20I%20added%20one%20brick%20to%20the%20x-height%3B%20second%20I%20added%20little%20connecting%2C%20er%2C%20nubs%20for%20a%20very%20tightly%20spaced%20continuous%20script.%20From%20there%2C%20I%20was%20basically%20done%2C%20but%20then%20had%20very%20little%20restraint%20and%20took%20it%20to%20this%20point%2C%20which%20is%20now%20sort%20of%20a%20mishmash%20of%20styles%20%28let%E2%80%99s%20just%20go%20ahead%20and%20rule%20out%20all%20caps%20settings%20right%20here%20and%20now%20%3B%29%0D%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0AI%20am%20hoping%20one%20of%20y%E2%80%99all%20fontstructors%20will%20chime%20in%20with%20the%20next%20version%20that%20really%20knits%20the%20job%20up%20all%20nice%20like%21%20Or%2C%20barring%20that%2C%20I%20will%20try%20to%20tighten%20it%20up%20and%20continue%20to%20defer%20all%20praise%20to%20intaglio.

30 Downloads30%20Downloads3015 Comments15%20Comments1552 Glyphs52%20Glyphs52A play on brickstacking, 'Brutal' is an experiment in creating a one brick fontstruction for multilayered screen printing. To use this font, you simply need to layer the uppercase alphabet on top of (or underneath) the lowercase alphabet (see below for a sample).

Obviously, it doesn't look like much in the Fontstruct preview.

The inspiration for this typeface came about when I was putting together this Flickr gallery of modular multi-colored lettering.

However, it left not much space inside for any kind of meaningful rendering. Had to quadruple each glyph in order to get enough brick space inside to get some effect going. In the process I came to appreciate the true brilliance of the design and the awesomeness of certain characters. G, for instance.    I have scaled everything up, but have not taken any liberties with the shapes—they are true to the original. If a certain glyph is off, it is due to my ineffective eye and not borne out of a desire to change the original. (Point it out, and I'll correct it). Hope you like it.-----I live in the third-world; it is summer (well, it is here). Consequently, unannounced power outages 2, 5, 8 times a day are standard operating procedure. While/when we have power, my ISP may not. Consequently, unannounced internet outages 3, 4, 7 times a day are standard operating procedure. Out of 24 hours, I get 3, 4 hours of internet access on a good day. Everything everywhere is UPS'd up the wazoo. Still, UPSes need power to recharge.

---Not liking the e and the s so much.---While doing the sample, I found that even though the inter-character spacing is specifically set to one grid space wide, Photoshop was rendering the spacing differently per character pair. Same in Illustrator. Curious, I opened it in FontLab Studio. Turns out, the characters that have a half-wide brick left of the left edge in FontStruct are another half-brick-width over in the TrueType file.
