“Prometheus Shadow (Basic Set)” by SquarePeg

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 13:01:26 -0800

I've added a side shadow to Prometheus. The inspiration was a typeface from the French type foundry Peignot. Identified as "No. 1229" in their Lettres Fantaises of 1896, it sports a very fine side shadow, which I've attempted to re-create here. (I found the "No. 1229" sample on Hoefler & Frere-Jones' blog - fifth image from the top.) This FontStruction is split in two to make downloading possible. The Basic Set (this half) features all of the Basic Latin and More Latin characters, while the Extended Set has all of the Extended Latin A and several Extended Latin B characters (Latin-based diacritics for the Central European, West European, Baltic, and Romanian languages, plus special characters for Croatian, Slovenian, and Livonian, among others).

Use it to add a perfectly matching color to the text letters set in Legorama Everywhere. Note that "_" can be used to add a blank space six units large, and "^" can be used to add a blank space one unit large. See the font in use here.

FontStruct bricks used to build a font set made of LEGO bricks. Note that "_" can be used to add a blank space six units large, and "^" can be used to add a blank space one unit large. Use Legorama Fill to add a perfectly matching color to the text letters. See the font in use here.

FontStruct bricks used to build a font set made of LEGO bricks plugged on a baseplate. Note that "_" can be used to add a blank baseplate six units large, and "^" can be used to add a blank baseplate one unit large. Use Legorama Everywhere Fill to add a perfectly matching color to the text letters. See the font in use here.

“Wayang Kulit” by caseycastille

I thought this resembled Javanese shadow puppets, hence the name. A word about my fonts; I'm not necessarily attempting to create completely usable sets of glyphs at this point. I'm more interested in exploring ways to use the bricks. That said, I welcome all suggestions and constructive criticism. Bring it on! : )

Cloned from Last Brick. Somehow reminds me of a neon sign.

A tridimensional font on a 4x6 grid. The rendering on a pixel preview size is really neat, you can see only the shadows but the font is still legible. Uppercase, lowercase, numbers and basic punctation.

Experimenting with the latest brick addition: a blocky 3D display font. See the font in use here.

“TapeWriter” by SquarePeg

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:54:10 -0800

Partly inspired by those DYMO LabelWriters that were ubiquitous in the 1970s... This is not yet complete; I still have to add lots of punctuation. Diacritics might be coming, too... Stay tuned.
