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.

z, a, q, and 1 are low 'a.' Each is a different duration (eigth, quarter, half, whole). Use shift on those to go up an octave. 
Space is for formatting; one space between notes usually works. 
Brackets are left/right staff ends, and vertical line | is the measure divider. 
The right side of the keyboard is used for flats and sharps. 
Plus and minus are time signatures (still working on those).
Backslash is a repeat sign, and tilde is measure repeat.

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.

Josef Albers' constructivist typographic experiments are a perfect match for Fontstruct. Other Fontstructors have done great work with Alber's ideas. Most notably, Saberrider's fontsract and Stewf's Leaflet family.

Using Josef Albers' Kombinationsschrift alphabet (1928-1931) as my foundation, I've been having a lot of fun remixing and experimenting with his letters. 'Sessions' is the first to get shared.
