11 Downloads11%20Downloads11107 Glyphs107%20Glyphs107Various alternate characters for Dragon of the Seas. Requires the use of a character map due to unconventional placement.

Contains the following:
*Full alphanumerical alternate set, as well as variants on several glyphs
*Unsupported ligatures (ffi, fj, etc.)
*An attempt at a partial reconstruction of the Group W typeface
*Logos for every Dragon of the Seas typeface
*Characters you can't find in FontStruct's code: the Creative Commons symbol, the copyleft symbol, the public domain symbol, won sign, and more
**Including Command, Option glyphs to write Mac OS X documentation (FontStruct's only font to have this feature)

Dragon of the Seas is a typeface family (the flagship typeface is at http://fontstruct.fontshop.com/fontstructions/show/55619) comprising 1, 2, HV (userbar), and SC (small caps) variants. Raymie also produces the Freeman Industrial set of rounded characters.

v1.3.3 (29 July) brings it up to speed with some of Freeman Industrial 2's character set, specifically the copyleft and Creative Commons symbols. No other FontStruction besides my own has this!

29 Downloads29%20Downloads292 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.

I have a lot of admiration for these posters and a style of sign painters' lettering that was common in the U.S. during the 1930s-'40s. WPA Gothic gets much of its inspiration from this poster in particular. This FontStruction stays true to the sample’s simple letterforms, but the FontStruct grid does present a few limitations. For more refined typefaces of this style check out Futura Display, Tourist Gothic, FF Moderne Gothics, Refrigerator, and MVB Solano Gothic by some of my favorite type designers, two of which (Van Bronkhorst and Parkinson) are East Bay natives.

WPA Gothic has a few alternate glyphs hanging out in the Extended Latin slots with more to come.

To get a look at the typeface outside the confines of the FontStruct sampler, here's a sample poster.
