“fs AUGHT One” by thalamic

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:35:12 +0000

Although build from scratch, AUGHT should really appear as a clone of ought because the idea is the same, just a different execution. Some glyphs came together fairly easy (A B C etc.), others took some doing (T Y S), some just don't work out well (G P Q Z), and some worked too well (I J).

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): `

“fs Inflate [04] Poof” by thalamic

Some fontstructions just come together quickly. The idea was to find a way to achieve pixel-level color manipulation without manually coloring each pixel. Hope you find it entertaining if not useful. --View anTyp's Peteroque for a far superior example of layering and coloring pixels technique.

...because it's not quite blackletter, is it? This font went through a lot of (interrupted) modification. Started off quite different; this is how it ended-up. My conclusion: All fonts want to be blackletter.

For use at pixel level. Also works at 32pt×x, where x=1,2,4,8,etc.-----This font has been a long time in the making. The dots are such that the curved shapes and squared-off letters just would not resolve to an equal height no matter what I tried. Then after the mixed x-height that came about in yesterday's la Cross, it occurred to me to just let the letters be as tall as they wanted to be. It seems to work for some odd reason. Can someone please explain why it works?

“fs AUGHT To” by thalamic

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:35:18 +0000

While trying out different Z possibilities for AUGHT One, struck on the Z shown here, which made it necessary to bring other letters to conformity. This fontstruction works better, methinks.

“fs AUGHT Three” by thalamic

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:34:56 +0000

Yet another version that came while modifying AUGHT One to AUGHT To. And believe it or not, in the process of doing these three fonts, enough additional glyphs were created and deleted to fill at least two more variants. This is why the Clone is enabled again so someone else might experiment some more, if they so choose.

“fs Etched [Bare]” by thalamic

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:37:33 +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. Then cloned the clone and stripped it bare...because DJNippa was going to ask for it, wasn't he!. :-)-----Works best at 64pt. Set leading to between 48pt and 56pt.
