Started out trying just to make an old-school fontstruction, with no 23.5 degree angles. I had another version with slanted A V W, & X, but it looked more cohesive with everything all blocky. It'd be easy to use this template and build multiple weights.

Pixel font = relaxation. Less blocks to worry about makes for more fun.

My take on Hellenic Wide, which I first saw in a Frank Chimero illustration. Some of his work looks ripped right out of the 50's and I love it. The capitals all fit pretty well into the FontStruct schema. I'd like to revisit this one sometime to see if it would work with a lighter stroke and skinnier character width.

“Squabble” by nemoorange

Like Masphalt, the original inspiration for this one comes from Stefan Kjartansson's Black Slabbath. I think I played enough with it to make it my own. Like the two-story lowercase g and lowercase a. Squishing that middle stroke really gave this one a personality. I kept all the counters rectangular, try not to hide the hard edges. This is my first time going through the diacritics to give me a holler if you see something wrong.

“Bradshaw Bold” by nemoorange

When the half-angle blocks were first introduced I thought I would be the last one to produce an old style or transistional sans-serif typeface. Looking through the gallery, I still don't see any attempts. Creating a serif font with blocks is very much a square peg for a round hole, but I enjoyed the challenge. I tried to emphasis all the minor details, like angled stress, or the bottom terminal of the lowercase b. I spent a lot of time on this months ago, but after a while, just lost the drive to complete all the characters. Maybe you're up to the task.

“Rosslyn Metal” by nemoorange

A metal variation of Rosslyn Regular. Lowercase F, P, S, T, V, W, and Y, are paired with A so you can have proper kerning for the most brutal of words like SATAN and METAL and FATAL.
