“Chunk-Chip” by thalamic

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 13:31:57 -0800

I've been seeing a lot of almost-completely-filled-blocks-with-chips-in-them kind of fonts lately. Quite well promoted too. I find most of them to be illegible. No matter what someone says about style and movement and period, to me, type exist to communicate, and legibility is the keystone of that functionality. If I can't decipher the glyph as a letter in a fraction of a second, the typeface has failed, no matter how beautiful it might be to look at as a graphic element. This is what I have tried to do here: taken a current trend and tried to make a legible typeface, staying within the parameters of said style. Most glyphs are quite legible but some are not, like s v w 0 8 9 & etc. I have failed as well. Plus I am not happy with the consistency—or lack thereof—either. It bothers me that the inside chips had to be rotated from character to character or move them about here and there. I did the uppercase as well...then deleted them all because I just couldn't resolve the similarity between H and N. I may have to find a less ______* new hobby.* stationary? senatory? Sitting around idle. What's the word am I looking for, intaglio?

Mr. 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.

This font is a collection of parts to make little faces, or smileys. Different parts are grouped on the keyboard. 1, q, a, z, 2, w, s, x, 3, e, d, and c are all eyes. 4, r, f, v, 5, t, g, and b are all noses. 6, y, h, n, 7, u, j, m, 8, i, k, ,, 9, o, l, ., -, [, and ] are all mouths. Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O, and P are all eyebrows. !, @, #, $, and % are all hair styles. Enjoy!

“Braille (Basic)” by SquarePeg

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 04:05:07 -0800

The 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).

This is the first ever FontStruction. A simple pixel font based on a 6 x 8 matrix of squares.

“Fickle Mickle” by shasta

PLEASE 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=
