J, W and Z and font-wide letter spacing and character metrics adjusted.

Pay special attention to the stroke contrast on the z, x, w, and s. If contrast is too low (or the thick stroke too thin), the lc will appear too dark or too light next to the caps, creating a disharmonious affect.

Alternate as included in the more latin Unicode zone.

Good work, Simon! You’re almost there!

16 Downloads16%20Downloads1611 Comments11%20Comments1156 Glyphs56%20Glyphs56Syzygy was an attempt to create a typeface of old style characters with a high contrast between thicks & thins and attractive curves, despite the inherent limitations of fonstruct’s available blocks. The end result is a highly readable typeface — even at smaller sizes — comprised entirely of straight lines. While the astronomical definition talks about alignment, the word “syzygy” more broadly means “the union of disparate or opposing object, ideas or concepts”. Thus, the name “syzygy” is meant to reference the merger between old-style letters and a modern, computer-driven design tool — truly a meeting of opposites.Syzygy%20was%20an%20attempt%20to%20create%20a%20typeface%20of%20old%20style%20characters%20with%20a%20high%20contrast%20between%20thicks%20%26%20thins%20and%20attractive%20curves%2C%20despite%20the%20inherent%20limitations%20of%20fonstruct%E2%80%99s%20available%20blocks.%20The%20end%20result%20is%20a%20highly%20readable%20typeface%20%E2%80%94%20even%20at%20smaller%20sizes%20%E2%80%94%20comprised%20entirely%20of%20straight%20lines.%20While%20the%20astronomical%20definition%20talks%20about%20alignment%2C%20the%20word%20%E2%80%9Csyzygy%E2%80%9D%20more%20broadly%20means%20%E2%80%9Cthe%20union%20of%20disparate%20or%20opposing%20object%2C%20ideas%20or%20concepts%E2%80%9D.%20Thus%2C%20the%20name%20%E2%80%9Csyzygy%E2%80%9D%20is%20meant%20to%20reference%20the%20merger%20between%20old-style%20letters%20and%20a%20modern%2C%20computer-driven%20design%20tool%20%E2%80%94%20truly%20a%20meeting%20of%20opposites.

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.

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.
