“Afroblack” by Magic Sam

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:36:20 +0000

A new member of the Afro-family is born: Afroblack, another version of Afrobeat without any horizontal lines. Although I changed only a couple of details it has a very different feeling. Take a look at the example! I´m not sure about the numbers, probably a few of them have need to be reworked. What do you think?

“Baroque Ecstasy” by BaroqueEcstasy

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:36:04 +0000

Initially, I envisioned this font as an elegant serifed font, based on my handwriting (which is not to say it is itself elegant in any way). It has some Art-Nouveau influences, featuring contrasting bowl sizes, and sharp diagonal lines juxtaposed against flowing curves. When I began working on it in FontStruct however, I wasn't able to render its sinuous lines as I had first imagined. It evolved, becoming squared and angular, taking on a more Gothic feel; although, this suits its name. The title comes from "Ribbons of Baroque Ecstasy" is the name of a collection of works by English architect Neil Spiller, who advocates a return towards Gothicism, and away from bland Modernism and schizophrenic Post-Modernism.

“The Ornamental Circus” by AbbieVickress

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:14:23 +0000

The typeface was created with influence from fonts used on circus posters, I wanted it to come across as quite flamboyant with a sleek, more modern undertone which I think I have achieved with the thin vertical lines. Following my ‘ornate’ theme I also wanted to keep each letter very attractive making each letter look like an ornament but also if used a full body text still holds this ornamental theme.

“fs Etched” by thalamic

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:37:38 +0000

This one started out quite different; a simple three-line font. While making an alternate B, the curlicue was introduced. A clone and many hours later, Etched was born. Later added borders and decorations when the sample called for it.-----Works best at 64pt. Set leading to 48pt for a single dividing line in between, 52pt for a double dividing line, and 56pt for a clear break between lines. No kerning required.Start a new line with < and end it with >.Top borders: [ \ ]Bottom borders: { | }Top border decoration: ~Bottom border decoration: /Left border: (Right border: )Text decoration: _Text decoration end (ambidextrous): `

“Punched Out” by shasta

Well, apparently everybody here likes building letters... And I'm sure everybody got told at least once to finally shut down that damn computer while fontstructing. Here's how you can go on tinkering fonts even with the computer unplugged!;) I had carried this idea around with me a long time ago, doing some sketches, but abandoning it cause I thought all the thin and dotted lines would go beyond fontstruct's possibilities. Until funk_king proved me wrong... Thanks for the re-inspiration! I think this is pretty self-explaining. Cut along the solid lines, fold along the dotted lines and put some glue on the shaded parts, put it all together, and there you go with your new toys! Unfortunately it was impossible to fill all the inner sides of all the counters, but I tried to leave them open where you'd see it least. There might also be some bugs, I haven't tried them out yet. Pure brainwork so far... (My brain's still in the freezer to cool down a bit) In case someone ever actually uses them and finds something wrong, please let me know! Hope you like it!:) Check out the fill font if you wanna print your own custom-made design on the letters! Edit 5th August: Just copied the uppercase on the lowercase for reasons of convenience... I might add some alternates for some letters on the lowercase though, probably coming in September. Sorry, exam-time.;)

“Crediti Pixel 15” by Lucia

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 06:38:19 +0000

Simple small pixel font: I just thought it would have been nice to have it as a font instead of drawing it each time. All caps, some symbols. Plus, instead of small caps, little things I use to do fancy pixel lines. Lines better at 16px.

lines and dots...

“Syzygy” by aaronbell

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:20:51 +0000

Syzygy was an attempt to create a typeface of old style characters with a high contrast between thicks & thins and attractive curves, despite the inherent limitations of fonstruct’s available blocks. The end result is a highly readable typeface — even at smaller sizes — comprised entirely of straight lines. While the astronomical definition talks about alignment, the word “syzygy” more broadly means “the union of disparate or opposing object, ideas or concepts”. Thus, the name “syzygy” is meant to reference the merger between old-style letters and a modern, computer-driven design tool — truly a meeting of opposites.
