10 Comments10%20Comments1027 Glyphs27%20Glyphs27I began by exploring the theme of decaying objects, such as fruit, and studied the shape (and change of shape) of the objects, as they progressivly fell apart. By creating hand drawn sketches i began to create a typeface that looked as though it was rotting/melting away. I used a traditional typeface, Times New Roman, that could be considered as quite boring and a font which has been around for a long time and then used it as a base font which i then made to look as though it was rotting and falling apart by refering back to my earlier sketches. Overall I aimed to create a typeface that represents the decay of an older, more traditional and perhaps overused typeface.I%20began%20by%20exploring%20the%20theme%20of%20decaying%20objects%2C%20such%20as%20fruit%2C%20and%20studied%20the%20shape%20%28and%20change%20of%20shape%29%20of%20the%20objects%2C%20as%20they%20progressivly%20fell%20apart.%20By%20creating%20hand%20drawn%20sketches%20i%20began%20to%20create%20a%20typeface%20that%20looked%20as%20though%20it%20was%20rotting%2Fmelting%20away.%20I%20used%20a%20traditional%20typeface%2C%20Times%20New%20Roman%2C%20that%20could%20be%20considered%20as%20quite%20boring%20and%20a%20font%20which%20has%20been%20around%20for%20a%20long%20time%20and%20then%20used%20it%20as%20a%20base%20font%20which%20i%20then%20made%20to%20look%20as%20though%20it%20was%20rotting%20and%20falling%20apart%20by%20refering%20back%20to%20my%20earlier%20sketches.%20Overall%20I%20aimed%20to%20create%20a%20typeface%20that%20represents%20the%20decay%20of%20an%20older%2C%20more%20traditional%20and%20perhaps%20overused%20typeface.

81 Downloads81%20Downloads8132 Comments32%20Comments32171 Glyphs171%20Glyphs171Hunstrüct is my first attempt at designing a contemporary blackletter typeface within Fontstruct. The typeface draws inspiration from the long tradition of German Fraktur styled blackletters. The name Hunstrück is taken from a mountain range in Germany called the Hunsrück. Primarily I was aiming to build a face that would work well as a display type for gig posters and larger headlines but as I reworked the typeface I tried to strike a balance between text and display.

Big thanks goes to djnippa for his hard work in spacing this font properly.

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.

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.

My UC leans slightly to the left and my lc to the right; must be the graffiti influence from way back in the day.
