It's given me the flexibility, with a little cheating here and there, to strike a fairly convincing bold version that manages to hold the look of the original despite having a weight of 4h x 3v bricks instead of 2h x 1 1/2v. Not quite pound-for-pound. I cheated by raising the whole thing one brick height as well.

55 Downloads55%20Downloads552 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

"~" is a space without a drip. "-" is a beginning splat, and periods, exclamation points, and question marks are closing splats. "|" is a close without a splat. "_" is a drip that you can add to the character before it. For example, you might think the drips in "banana" are too repetitive, so you can use "n_" instead of "N" to get an n with a different drip.

37 Downloads37%20Downloads372 Comments2%20Comments291 Glyphs91%20Glyphs91The original Morse code was created for Samuel F.B. Morse's electric telegraph in the early 1840s, but spread to radio communications (and beyond) beginning in the 1890s. (It is now known as American Morse code, and rarely used.) International Morse code was created by Friedrich Clemens Gerke in 1848, and standardized at the International Telegraphy congress (Paris) in 1865.

Other current Morse Code FontStructions have encountered word- and letter-spacing issues, and I tried to work around this by stacking the dots and dashes vertically. The result reminds me a bit of Mayan numerals, but hey, as long as it still reads as Morse... I wonder what the ITU would say about this? One thing's for sure... it saves a lot of horizontal space.

In each character, the dots and dashes read from top to bottom rather than from left to right. Punctuation has the longest series of dots and dashes in International Morse Code (six), so this number determined my cap height. :-) The shorter  characters all hang from this imaginary line.

Missing characters: Please note that the !, & and $ symbols are not defined within the ITU recommendations for International Morse code, so they are not part of this typeface. On the other hand, the @ symbol was approved for use in 2004, so I've also included the underscore sign I found at two different online sources. (The underscore symbol has not been formally approved by the ITU, but it could come in handy if you have to transmit an e-mail address using Morse code!)

Other characters: As with my two Braille FontStructions, the uppercase and lowercase versions of each character are the same. Also, the opening and closing parentheses share the same symbol, which will also show up if you type brackets instead of parentheses. Last but not least, there are a very few diacritics included (the ones I was able to verify).The%20original%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMorse_code%22%3E%3Cstrong%3EMorse%20code%3C%2Fstrong%3E%3C%2Fa%3E%20was%20created%20for%20Samuel%20F.B.%20Morse%27s%20electric%20telegraph%20in%20the%20early%201840s%2C%20but%20spread%20to%20radio%20communications%20%28and%20beyond%29%20beginning%20in%20the%201890s.%20%28It%20is%20now%20known%20as%20American%20Morse%20code%2C%20and%20rarely%20used.%29%20%3Cstrong%3EInternational%20Morse%20code%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20was%20created%20by%20Friedrich%20Clemens%20Gerke%20in%201848%2C%20and%20standardized%20at%20the%20International%20Telegraphy%20congress%20%28Paris%29%20in%201865.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AOther%20current%20Morse%20Code%20FontStructions%20have%20encountered%20word-%20and%20letter-spacing%20issues%2C%20and%20I%20tried%20to%20work%20around%20this%20by%20stacking%20the%20dots%20and%20dashes%20vertically.%20The%20result%20reminds%20me%20a%20bit%20of%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMaya_numerals%22%3EMayan%20numerals%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20but%20hey%2C%20as%20long%20as%20it%20still%20reads%20as%20Morse...%20I%20wonder%20what%20the%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FInternational_Telecommunication_Union%22%3EITU%3C%2Fa%3E%20would%20say%20about%20this%3F%20One%20thing%27s%20for%20sure...%20it%20saves%20a%20lot%20of%20horizontal%20space.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AIn%20each%20character%2C%20the%20dots%20and%20dashes%20read%20from%20top%20to%20bottom%20rather%20than%20from%20left%20to%20right.%20Punctuation%20has%20the%20longest%20series%20of%20dots%20and%20dashes%20in%20International%20Morse%20Code%20%28six%29%2C%20so%20this%20number%20determined%20my%20cap%20height.%20%3A-%29%20The%20shorter%20%20characters%20all%20hang%20from%20this%20imaginary%20line.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0A%3Cstrong%3EMissing%20characters%3A%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20Please%20note%20that%20the%20%3Cstrong%3E%21%3C%2Fstrong%3E%2C%20%3Cstrong%3E%26%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20and%20%3Cstrong%3E%24%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20symbols%20are%20not%20defined%20within%20the%20ITU%20recommendations%20for%20International%20Morse%20code%2C%20so%20they%20are%20not%20part%20of%20this%20typeface.%20On%20the%20other%20hand%2C%20the%20%3Cstrong%3E%40%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20symbol%20was%20approved%20for%20use%20in%202004%2C%20so%20I%27ve%20also%20included%20the%20underscore%20sign%20I%20found%20at%20two%20different%20online%20sources.%20%28The%20underscore%20symbol%20has%20not%20been%20formally%20approved%20by%20the%20ITU%2C%20but%20it%20could%20come%20in%20handy%20if%20you%20have%20to%20transmit%20an%20e-mail%20address%20using%20Morse%20code%21%29%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0A%3Cstrong%3EOther%20characters%3A%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20As%20with%20my%20two%20Braille%20FontStructions%2C%20the%20uppercase%20and%20lowercase%20versions%20of%20each%20character%20are%20the%20same.%20Also%2C%20the%20opening%20and%20closing%20parentheses%20share%20the%20same%20symbol%2C%20which%20will%20also%20show%20up%20if%20you%20type%20brackets%20instead%20of%20parentheses.%20Last%20but%20not%20least%2C%20there%20are%20a%20very%20few%20diacritics%20included%20%28the%20ones%20I%20was%20able%20to%20verify%29.
