“GrecoRomanoMono” by fontcollector

This pointed hexagonal font reminds me of carved lettering from ancient Greece or Rome. All characters are five bricks wide.

“Flameon” by geneus1

Flameon is extracted from the FLAME ON! battle cry created for the most excellent Bubble Lab Collaboration started by kix. Join in the fun already! I thought I might as well make the entire alphabet in the same style without the flames. The lines came from the style of old school renderings of the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four in Marvel Comics.

“FS_Minimal” by thalamic

I really like the way this one turned out. It uses minimal grid blocks to achieve the desired effect (although at ~2x2 and the slivers and the pinhole dots, there are a surprisingly large number of actual bricks used per glyph than evident at a quick glance, although not a single overlapping brick is used without express purpose). I think this is my favorite of all the ones I've done so far. It is with nervous anticipation that I let it free. Go forth and propagate, young font; it's You v World!

Much like MinimalBloc, Leaflet works better when the modular pieces are revealed. See the entire Leaflet Family.

“Lame, Dude!” by shasta

Little experimental graffiti-style-font. Begin every word with an upper case letter, then write on with lower case letters. Use ) to end words, and add an asterik for some additional style... hope all ya graffiti bros out there like it!;)

“Tristeak Ribbon Closed” by cwillmor

Clone of Tristeak Ribbon, with endcaps and some tweaks. One character in this set is topologically different from all the others... see if you can find it!

“Prometheus (Basic Set)” by SquarePeg

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:01:41 -0800

Clone of Prometheus Light (Basic Set), which is based on condensed Grecian typefaces by Darius Wells and William Hamilton Page. Many Grecian wood type samples lack lower case characters or numerals (or both!)... hence my sampling of different sources. After several modifications, this FontStruction has become so big that I had to split it in two to make downloading possible! The Basic Set (this half) features all of the Basic Latin and More Latin (a.k.a. Latin-1) characters, while the Extended Set has all of the Extended Latin A and several Extended Latin B characters (Latin-based diacritics for the Central European, West European, Baltic, and Romanian languages, plus special characters for Croatian, Slovenian, and Livonian, among others).

“Prometheus Shadow (Basic Set)” by SquarePeg

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:18:10 -0800

I've added a side shadow to Prometheus. The inspiration was a typeface from the French type foundry Peignot. Identified as "No. 1229" in their Lettres Fantaises of 1896, it sports a very fine side shadow, which I've attempted to re-create here. (I found the "No. 1229" sample on Hoefler & Frere-Jones' blog - fifth image from the top.) This FontStruction is split in two to make downloading possible. The Basic Set (this half) features all of the Basic Latin and More Latin characters, while the Extended Set has all of the Extended Latin A and several Extended Latin B characters (Latin-based diacritics for the Central European, West European, Baltic, and Romanian languages, plus special characters for Croatian, Slovenian, and Livonian, among others).

“Francero Wide” by nemoorange

My take on Hellenic Wide, which I first saw in a Frank Chimero illustration. Some of his work looks ripped right out of the 50's and I love it. The capitals all fit pretty well into the FontStruct schema. I'd like to revisit this one sometime to see if it would work with a lighter stroke and skinnier character width.
