“fs AUGHT One” by thalamic

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).

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

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.

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.

My bold attempt of thalamic's Balance.

“fs ought” by thalamic

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.
