“Slubscript” by will.i.ૐ

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:32:54 +0000

Clone of slubgob. I saw some stringy potential dyed in the wool of intaglio’s original and tried to draw it out. First I added one brick to the x-height; second I added little connecting, er, nubs for a very tightly spaced continuous script. From there, I was basically done, but then had very little restraint and took it to this point, which is now sort of a mishmash of styles (let’s just go ahead and rule out all caps settings right here and now ;) I am hoping one of y’all fontstructors will chime in with the next version that really knits the job up all nice like! Or, barring that, I will try to tighten it up and continue to defer all praise to intaglio.

“Brutal Exchange of a Smug for Some Faith” by afrojet

A play on brickstacking, 'Brutal' is an experiment in creating a one brick fontstruction for multilayered screen printing. To use this font, you simply need to layer the uppercase alphabet on top of (or underneath) the lowercase alphabet (see below for a sample). Obviously, it doesn't look like much in the Fontstruct preview. The inspiration for this typeface came about when I was putting together this Flickr gallery of modular multi-colored lettering. The first 25 downloads are all mine. It was a hard one to test.

“FS Mini” by cayo

I though about this concept while designing the superscript numbers of FS Remix. It is basically the same grid filter with one brick narrower and one shorter.

“Legality” by geneus1

The last and most difficult of the sharp serif experiments. Created on an 8 wide by 5 high base grid space. Unconventionally fontstructed while adhering to the impositions of the law of the brick. What do I mean? Just try recreating the letter A. It shouldn't be possible, so I did it anyway.

“Elspeth Grey” by Frodo7

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 17:10:42 +0000

This is a derivative work of Elspeth LC. Filter: both horizontal and vertical brick size are set to 0.5. Recommended font sizes: 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 192, 240. Other sizes result in different moiré patterns as the bricks partially overlap the screen pixels. Kerning is not perfect, some minor ovelapping may occur.

“Havre” by fugitiveglue

Another low-res, single-brick, lowercase alphabet. Uppercase and complete character set in progress.

“Cirxel” by mad

Sort of based on a pixel font I was working on. I designed it so it looks best on the smallest size, but ive edited it a bit so it looks ok larger.

“Particle” by Carpickle

This font looks like it's disintigrating right before your eyes.

“fs ought” by thalamic

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:37:04 +0000

This was fun to do. ---Not liking the e and the s so much.---While doing the sample, I found that even though the inter-character spacing is specifically set to one grid space wide, Photoshop was rendering the spacing differently per character pair. Same in Illustrator. Curious, I opened it in FontLab Studio. Turns out, the characters that have a half-wide brick left of the left edge in FontStruct are another half-brick-width over in the TrueType file. The sample is, therefore, manually kerned back to original.

“Glossierre” by geneus1

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:21:43 +0000

Inspired by an older Futura-esque work of williaum. A glossy, blocky, 1.8 scale triple-stacker. Zoom in! Caps have glossy highlights, lowercase is filled.
