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

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:38:48 +0000

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.

This type face is inspired by creation i've saw on the web. she's working well but not at every size... There some kind of anthropi on screen. I've already create the uppercase, but i'm not able to download them, so i publish only the lowercase here. Zen

“Helter Skelter” by Gracie_beth

The idea for the font came from looking at the curves in Wind ornaments. The block like structure of the wood and then the spiral effect. I also looked at Wooden table arrangments that resembled wood shavings, like ribbon curls. I wanted a contiuous theme to run through and link all the glyphs together. So i used the ribbon like structure as the backbone to all the uppercase and then serifs to link the Glyffs to each other. There is also a suggestion of movement in the style, as it is italic. I kept the decorative theme as well, to stay true to the concept behind the idea. This is a display font with a limited and definate purpose.

“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.;)

“Automate” by tomwalker

A typeface inspired by robotics & futuristic forms. The thick & thin elements consisting in the typeface represent dynamic contrasts of robotic forms. The uppercase letterforms are based on negative space, so is better suited as a headline typeface.

“Pixel Kata-ABC” by siutou_amy

I used to find difficult working with non-English text when using pixel-based fonts because they often lacked characters. Any constructive opinions are welcome =D Please, be gentle. Being the first font I ever worked on, I decided to do very simple letter forms including characters I often use when typing in Spanish, French and Swedish, and even adding some Katakana.

“Havre” by fugitiveglue

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

“Staring at The Sky” by chr.s

A mono-height, 60s inspired font. I'm not 100% sure about some of the uppercase characters - mostly the later ones... so all comments are gratefully recieved. Oh, and more latin characters are on the way...

“BSW Nonserif 550” by brianskywalker

WIP -- like this a little better than my BSW Nonserif 350. thought making block width 1.15 looks better. will see how uppercase turns out.

“Afrobeat Regular” by Magic Sam

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:52:08 +0000

Another bold condensed filter-type, with a funky 70s-feeling (especially the lowercase). Inspired by Apollo & Samoa. I didn´t like the Uppercase, so I tried out a few more things with Afrobeat II. Be sure to take a look at both! I´m open for suggestions. More glyphs to come...
