It uses minimal grid blocks to achieve the desired effect (although at ~2x2 and the slivers and the pinhole dots, there are a surprisingly large number of actual bricks used per glyph than evident at a quick glance, although not a single overlapping brick is used without express purpose). I think this is my favorite of all the ones I've done so far. It is with nervous anticipation that I let it free.

60 Downloads60%20Downloads607 Comments7%20Comments778 Glyphs78%20Glyphs78The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in 1821.

Mew Wins' Morse Code Alphabet (International) inspired me to make a Braille FontStruction. I have only drawn the basic, or Grade 1, version of the Braille alphabet here. (There is a contracted version of Braille, known as Grade 2, and another version which uses an 8 dot grid. In addition, there are special Braille characters for accented letters, but they are not all standardized, so for now I have stayed away from them.)

Special characters: There are no capital letters in Braille. Instead, there is a symbol for "capital letter follows," which I have placed in the "at" (@) symbol. The "number follows" symbol is usually placed in the space for the "number" symbol (#), so I've followed that convention.

In addition, I have copied the symbol for each letter into both the upper and lower case spaces, to make it easier to type something up (or select an existing text file) and switch the font to Braille (Basic).The%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FBraille%22%3EBraille%20system%3C%2Fa%3E%20was%20developed%20by%20Louis%20Braille%20in%201821.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AMew%20Wins%27%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F48411%22%3EMorse%20Code%20Alphabet%20%28International%29%3C%2Fa%3E%20inspired%20me%20to%20make%20a%20Braille%20FontStruction.%20I%20have%20only%20drawn%20the%20basic%2C%20or%20Grade%201%2C%20version%20of%20the%20Braille%20alphabet%20here.%20%28There%20is%20a%20contracted%20version%20of%20Braille%2C%20known%20as%20Grade%202%2C%20and%20another%20version%20which%20uses%20an%208%20dot%20grid.%20In%20addition%2C%20there%20are%20special%20Braille%20characters%20for%20accented%20letters%2C%20but%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pharmabraille.co.uk%2Fbraille-alphabet.html%22%3Ethey%20are%20not%20all%20standardized%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20so%20for%20now%20I%20have%20stayed%20away%20from%20them.%29%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0A%3Cstrong%3ESpecial%20characters%3A%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20There%20are%20no%20capital%20letters%20in%20Braille.%20Instead%2C%20there%20is%20a%20symbol%20for%20%22capital%20letter%20follows%2C%22%20which%20I%20have%20placed%20in%20the%20%22at%22%20%28%40%29%20symbol.%20The%20%22number%20follows%22%20symbol%20is%20usually%20placed%20in%20the%20space%20for%20the%20%22number%22%20symbol%20%28%23%29%2C%20so%20I%27ve%20followed%20that%20convention.%0D%0A%0D%0AIn%20addition%2C%20I%20have%20copied%20the%20symbol%20for%20each%20letter%20into%20both%20the%20upper%20and%20lower%20case%20spaces%2C%20to%20make%20it%20easier%20to%20type%20something%20up%20%28or%20select%20an%20existing%20text%20file%29%20and%20switch%20the%20font%20to%20%3Cstrong%3EBraille%20%28Basic%29%3C%2Fstrong%3E.

47 Downloads47%20Downloads472 Comments2%20Comments273 Glyphs73%20Glyphs73PLEASE READ THIS before you give it a zero for the disastrous kerning...;)
use this font like this: type your word always AlTeRnAtInG upper-case and lower-case characters, and you'll get the idea... dots can be used to put a black bar before or after the words.
this is of course not a font for large running texts (maybe more for logo design), and it's not executed perfectly yet, but i thought i'd kick it into the public area anyway... perhaps it serves as an inspiration at least.
feedback is welcome!

ps: as you'd rather use this for single words, and not sentences (let alone running text), there are no punctuation marks at all. i tried to make the numerals with their negatives by simply putting them on the signs you get when pressing shift + the number, but i think my swiss keyboard is a bit different to the american one, so now these are the accordant signs: 1+ 2" 3* 4ç 5% 6& 7/ 8( 9) 0=PLEASE%20READ%20THIS%20before%20you%20give%20it%20a%20zero%20for%20the%20disastrous%20kerning...%3B%29%0D%0Ause%20this%20font%20like%20this%3A%20type%20your%20word%20always%20AlTeRnAtInG%20upper-case%20and%20lower-case%20characters%2C%20and%20you%27ll%20get%20the%20idea...%20dots%20can%20be%20used%20to%20put%20a%20black%20bar%20before%20or%20after%20the%20words.%0D%0Athis%20is%20of%20course%20not%20a%20font%20for%20large%20running%20texts%20%28maybe%20more%20for%20logo%20design%29%2C%20and%20it%27s%20not%20executed%20perfectly%20yet%2C%20but%20i%20thought%20i%27d%20kick%20it%20into%20the%20public%20area%20anyway...%20perhaps%20it%20serves%20as%20an%20inspiration%20at%20least.%0D%0Afeedback%20is%20welcome%21%0D%0A%0D%0Aps%3A%20as%20you%27d%20rather%20use%20this%20for%20single%20words%2C%20and%20not%20sentences%20%28let%20alone%20running%20text%29%2C%20there%20are%20no%20punctuation%20marks%20at%20all.%20i%20tried%20to%20make%20the%20numerals%20with%20their%20negatives%20by%20simply%20putting%20them%20on%20the%20signs%20you%20get%20when%20pressing%20shift%20%2B%20the%20number%2C%20but%20i%20think%20my%20swiss%20keyboard%20is%20a%20bit%20different%20to%20the%20american%20one%2C%20so%20now%20these%20are%20the%20accordant%20signs%3A%201%2B%202%22%203%2A%204%C3%A7%205%25%206%26%207%2F%208%28%209%29%200%3D
