“Decay of TNR” by blandsdf

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:01:20 +0000

I began by exploring the theme of decaying objects, such as fruit, and studied the shape (and change of shape) of the objects, as they progressivly fell apart. By creating hand drawn sketches i began to create a typeface that looked as though it was rotting/melting away. I used a traditional typeface, Times New Roman, that could be considered as quite boring and a font which has been around for a long time and then used it as a base font which i then made to look as though it was rotting and falling apart by refering back to my earlier sketches. Overall I aimed to create a typeface that represents the decay of an older, more traditional and perhaps overused typeface.

“fs s-ookii” by thalamic

ookii--shadowed.It looks quite simple, and in the end, it was, though getting to the end was anything but. This font appears as a clone of ookii because that's where I started it, thinking I'll just add the shadows. Getting the shadows to look natural and line up properly in every character was a geometric challenge. I ended up redrawing the whole thing three times over--in incremental step up of scale before getting it right. I love doing fonts like this one.

“Karuso 68” by geneus1

Karuso. As in Robinson Caruso. Because it should be shipwrecked on a deserted island. That's where I planned to leave it in private (and you're probably thinking that's where I should have left it). Check the creation date - it's been stranded for a while. This is the first in a set of text face experiments, and it reveals the beginnings of an evolution of high contrast fontstructing over a minimized grid space. Not all glyphs are how I wanted them to be. Some may be hideous. The spacing is terrible. But as a fontstruction, this one really got me to push the bricks to develop some resemblance of a Times Romanesque sharp serif typeface. Many, many tricks had to come in to play to make this happen at its current state. Overlapping bricks, brick stacking, overlapping brick stacking. It's all in there. I learned a lot from this insane attempt just from the lowercase letter forms alone. I mean, just look at that g! Try it at your own risk. 6x8 grid space, Double XY. But don't worry, this is as bad as it gets. It does get better from here, but only a little bit, so don't get your hopes up. Stay tuned.

an edit on the classic, maybe this is what would come out of our typewriters if courier didnt exist.

“More Latin Trajedy” by will.i.ૐ

Lex Kominek made a jewel of a screen font, fontstructing Trajan capitals in pixel form and somehow making one of modern time’s most overused typefaces ever fresh again. Well, at least I thought so. Why not follow up, then, with my first pixel font ever? I spliced in lower case, old-style figures, tweaked a couple caps and symbols from Lex’s original and made some headway on the extended character set. Hey, good times for laid-up, concussed kinda guy. @:P Of course, pxl me!

it looks so simple but this one was so hard to do. because of the high resolution i was working on my browser used to freeze several times during process.
