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.

228 Downloads228%20Downloads22813 Comments13%20Comments13178 Glyphs178%20Glyphs178Thunderball FAQ:

Q: What's with the name?
A: At some point over the holidays, the movie Thunderball was on and I got to thinking about jet packs, Aston Martins, archenemies, Blofeld, SPECTRE and whether Miami is really worth 100 Million in diamonds or if it might have been better just to keep the diamonds instead of trying to save Miami. I mean, at the time of the movie, Miami hadn't even discovered cocaine yet and really wasn't on the map. If I were Blofeld, I would have picked an entirely different city to hold a bomb threat over. It was the sixties after all, take out San Francisco. Incidentally, at one point in the movie Bond finds himself in the Bahamas in the middle of a junkanoo, which is a kind of street fair where folks wear insanely colorful costumes (mostly of feathers) and dance around. Junkanoo! Now that would make a great name for a font. Much better than Thunderball. Is it too late to change the name?

Q: Your recent output - including this clodhopper - seems to be stuck on the 1.8 brick size filter, is your filter toggle stuck or something?
A: Your Mom's filter toggle is stuck, buddy! And my next font will be called Clodhopper, and it will be yet another font built at 1.8 and it's going to be big and thick so you'll really feel it when I beat on your skull with it. 

Q: Whoa! Touchy. Ok, how about that uppercase 'T', it's awfully funny looking, you gonna change it?
A: Oh Boy. You just don't know when to quit, do you? The 'T' began as a spacing compromise but over the last few days it has grown on me - overtaken me really - like some saccharine soaked pop song that I hate but secretly love. So back off on the 'T', it's not going anywhere.

Q: Any last thoughts?
A: Blofeld, Junkanoo, Clodhopper - all rad names for fonts that have yet to be born.

The letters are meant to play off of Peggy's unusually large feet by way of their extra thick legs/feet.

80 Downloads80%20Downloads807 Comments7%20Comments741 Glyphs41%20Glyphs41Mr. Crouwel strikes again...in spirit.   It took a while to build this one. The issue was not getting the letters done—they are rather simplistic after all—it was more to do with getting the preview windows to display the letters correctly. I tried lots of different filter settings. The slim break lines only previewed properly at 1.5 scaled bricks or below but they were too thick at that point. 1.8 brick scaling gave the desired result but left the preview a mess. Catch-22 is such a nightmare for perfectionists. In the end, I chose the correctness of glyphs over preview. Hence, the imperative letter A. However, I did take liberties with certain glyphs (j/1/4/7), added certain other glyphs (./,/!/?), and poked pinholes in the numerals to distinguish 5 from s, 2 from z.Find the corresponding uppercase here.Mr.%20Crouwel%20strikes%20again...in%20spirit.%3Cbr%3E%26nbsp%3B%26nbsp%3B%26nbsp%3BIt%20took%20a%20while%20to%20build%20this%20one.%20The%20issue%20was%20not%20getting%20the%20letters%20done%26mdash%3Bthey%20are%20rather%20simplistic%20after%20all%26mdash%3Bit%20was%20more%20to%20do%20with%20getting%20the%20preview%20windows%20to%20display%20the%20letters%20correctly.%20I%20tried%20lots%20of%20different%20filter%20settings.%20The%20slim%20break%20lines%20only%20previewed%20properly%20at%201.5%20scaled%20bricks%20or%20below%20but%20they%20were%20too%20thick%20at%20that%20point.%201.8%20brick%20scaling%20gave%20the%20desired%20result%20but%20left%20the%20preview%20a%20mess.%20%3Ci%3ECatch-22%20is%20such%20a%20nightmare%20for%20perfectionists.%3C%2Fi%3E%20In%20the%20end%2C%20I%20chose%20the%20correctness%20of%20glyphs%20over%20preview.%20Hence%2C%20the%20imperative%20letter%20A.%20However%2C%20I%20did%20take%20liberties%20with%20certain%20glyphs%20%28j%2F1%2F4%2F7%29%2C%20added%20certain%20other%20glyphs%20%28.%2F%2C%2F%21%2F%3F%29%2C%20and%20poked%20pinholes%20in%20the%20numerals%20to%20distinguish%205%20from%20s%2C%202%20from%20z.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EFind%20the%20corresponding%20uppercase%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F120316%22%3Ehere%3C%2Fa%3E.
