“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).

“monomum” by thalamic

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 20:17:30 -0800

There's no inspiration here other than a desire to create a stylized mono-spaced font that is legible at small sizes. It's a solution to a fabricated problem. Getting the basic characters in, it is, evidently, not mono-spaced, even though all glyphs end at the same grid square on the right. One problem is the lack of control over the width of space. Other issues come up as well, such as the period (full stop) has to be way over there to the right of this font's grid to make it the same width as the rest of the characters.Conclusion? Mono-spaced fonts are just not possible in fontstruct at this point. :( Correct me if I am wrong. Rob?

“BauForm” by Axel Leyer

I tried to do this like if I was a child playing with basic shapes. I remember me trying to form my first words a long time ago with that simple coloroured wood shapes toys for kids... It was really funny to do it. :)

I see this font particularly indicated for brochures and ad about art and design. Uppercase, numbers and basic punctation only. Update: Set expanded with lowercase.

“Strata Dots” by SquarePeg

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 04:06:34 -0800

Based on Strata Blocks; I swapped the squares for circles. Completed Basic Latin set of characters: April 3, 2008. Began adding diacritical marks: April 5, 2008.

“Prometheus (Extended Set)” by SquarePeg

This is the second half of Prometheus, which is based on condensed Grecian typefaces by Darius Wells and William Hamilton Page. This FontStruction has become so big that I had to split it in two to make downloading possible! The Basic Set features all of the Basic Latin and More Latin (a.k.a. Latin-1) characters, while the Extended Set (this half) 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).
