“Slubscript” by will.i.ૐ

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:43:22 +0000

Clone of slubgob. I saw some stringy potential dyed in the wool of intaglio’s original and tried to draw it out. First I added one brick to the x-height; second I added little connecting, er, nubs for a very tightly spaced continuous script. From there, I was basically done, but then had very little restraint and took it to this point, which is now sort of a mishmash of styles (let’s just go ahead and rule out all caps settings right here and now ;) I am hoping one of y’all fontstructors will chime in with the next version that really knits the job up all nice like! Or, barring that, I will try to tighten it up and continue to defer all praise to intaglio.

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

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.

A simple-minded font, grown up in the backyard of a lovely little mansion.

“Music” by CMunk

This font consists purely of elements of musical notation. Some of the letters are a bit far fetched and it is only barely legible, but I like it, and maybe you should use it for musical notes instead of text.

Hunstruct's taller cousin.

“Bat Country” by loboarches

I made this for my UWE graphic design first year project "communicating with words". I created this inspired by influences from Ralph steadman and Jackson pollock using the concept of inconsistansy and randomized mark making with ink. the name is derived from a quote from the book "fear and loathing in las vagas". I designed it by firstly creating the text with a pot of ink and the back side of a biro pen, then from that i drew them by hand onto A4 sheets of graph paper limitating each line to only 4 given angles, then finally transfering that onto fontstruct wich took roughly 30-40mins per letter. Enjoy!

“Fat&Lazy” by shasta

Look at this lazy bastard... Has been lying around in my backyard for 1 1/2 years now without doing anything. No wonder it has ended up this fat.

“Escheresk” by shasta

I intended to make some sort of an M.C.Escher tribute here. I'm sorry this isn't very complete and far from being perfectly well done, but it somewhat started to make me feel dizzy...;) And even though I'm not very convinced by this, I don't think I'd come up with a way better execution soon.I hope for Mr Escher that there are better tribute fonts for him out there! He'd definitely deserve it...It was by the way funk_king's Impossible Alphabet that reminded me of this unfinished thing laying around in my messy unpublished fontstructions box, and made me take it out and finish it. (If you can call 42 characters "finished".) Also check out Frodo7's Hommage à Escher, geneus1's IsoMatrix 3D, and funk_king's Soma for some other great Escher-esque fontcrafting!

“Hommage à Escher” by Frodo7

This my homage to the late Dutch master. I tried to capture the impossible geometry, sense of space, and even the colours of his works.
