I'm sorry this isn't very complete and far from being perfectly well done, but it somewhat started to make me feel dizzy...;) And even though I'm not very convinced by this, I don't think I'd come up with a way better execution soon.I hope for Mr Escher that there are better tribute fonts for him out there! He'd definitely deserve it...It was by the way funk_king's Impossible Alphabet that reminded me of this unfinished thing laying around in my messy unpublished fontstructions box, and made me take it out and finish it. (If you can call 42 characters "finished".) Also check out Frodo7's Hommage à Escher, geneus1's IsoMatrix 3D, and funk_king's Soma for some other great Escher-esque fontcrafting!I%20intended%20to%20make%20some%20sort%20of%20an%20M.C.Escher%20tribute%20here.%20I%27m%20sorry%20this%20isn%27t%20very%20complete%20and%20far%20from%20being%20perfectly%20well%20done%2C%20but%20it%20somewhat%20started%20to%20make%20me%20feel%20dizzy...%3B%29%20And%20even%20though%20I%27m%20not%20very%20convinced%20by%20this%2C%20I%20don%27t%20think%20I%27d%20come%20up%20with%20a%20way%20better%20execution%20soon.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EI%20hope%20for%20Mr%20Escher%20that%20there%20are%20better%20tribute%20fonts%20for%20him%20out%20there%21%20He%27d%20definitely%20deserve%20it...%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EIt%20was%20by%20the%20way%20funk_king%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2Fimpossible_alphabet%22%3EImpossible%20Alphabet%3C%2Fa%3E%20that%20reminded%20me%20of%20this%20unfinished%20thing%20laying%20around%20in%20my%20messy%20unpublished%20fontstructions%20box%2C%20and%20made%20me%20take%20it%20out%20and%20finish%20it.%20%28If%20you%20can%20call%2042%20characters%20%22finished%22.%29%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0AAlso%20check%20out%20Frodo7%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F210288%22%3EHommage%20%C3%A0%20Escher%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20geneus1%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F45476%22%3EIsoMatrix%203D%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20and%20funk_king%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F210428%22%3ESoma%3C%2Fa%3E%20for%20some%20other%20great%20Escher-esque%20fontcrafting%21

138 Downloads138%20Downloads13837 Comments37%20Comments3765 Glyphs65%20Glyphs65Well, apparently everybody here likes building letters... And I'm sure everybody got told at least once to finally shut down that damn computer while fontstructing. Here's how you can go on tinkering fonts even with the computer unplugged!;) I had carried this idea around with me a long time ago, doing some sketches, but abandoning it cause I thought all the thin and dotted lines would go beyond fontstruct's possibilities. Until funk_king proved me wrong... Thanks for the re-inspiration! I think this is pretty self-explaining. Cut along the solid lines, fold along the dotted lines and put some glue on the shaded parts, put it all together, and there you go with your new toys! Unfortunately it was impossible to fill all the inner sides of all the counters, but I tried to leave them open where you'd see it least. There might also be some bugs, I haven't tried them out yet. Pure brainwork so far... (My brain's still in the freezer to cool down a bit) In case someone ever actually uses them and finds something wrong, please let me know! Hope you like it!:) Check out the fill font if you wanna print your own custom-made design on the letters! Edit 5th August: Just copied the uppercase on the lowercase for reasons of convenience... I might add some alternates for some letters on the lowercase though, probably coming in September.
