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was by the way funk_king's Impossible Alphabet that reminded me of this unfinished thing laying around in my messy unpublished fontstructions box, and made me take it out and finish it.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".)

81 Downloads81%20Downloads8132 Comments32%20Comments32171 Glyphs171%20Glyphs171Hunstrüct is my first attempt at designing a contemporary blackletter typeface within Fontstruct. The typeface draws inspiration from the long tradition of German Fraktur styled blackletters. The name Hunstrück is taken from a mountain range in Germany called the Hunsrück. Primarily I was aiming to build a face that would work well as a display type for gig posters and larger headlines but as I reworked the typeface I tried to strike a balance between text and display.

Big thanks goes to djnippa for his hard work in spacing this font properly.

39 Downloads39%20Downloads3923 Comments23%20Comments2355 Glyphs55%20Glyphs55I 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.

Especially the design of the caps was hard; sooo many possibilities! However, i'm proud to present you my first real blackletter font :)   I would like to add some more glyphs to the "more latin" set, but the size seems to be close to the download limit. It's downloadable yet, but i had to erase some glyphs...

ps:
there's an alternate "a" on "@", 
and some decorative stuff on "#" and "*".

30 Downloads30%20Downloads3011 Comments11%20Comments1145 Glyphs45%20Glyphs45Mostly inspired by the video game QBert, which was, I'm sure, partly inspired by M. C. Escher. 

IsoMatrix was a font long before Fontstruct, and was much harder to realize with bricks than vectors.

This one is shared thanks to the intricate 3D output of the following fontstructors:

shasta's  Escheresk, 
frodo's Hommage a Escher,
and
funk king's Soma.

It is also released for Em42, because it was created purely with the original set of bricks that Fontstruct started out with.Mostly%20inspired%20by%20the%20video%20game%20QBert%2C%20which%20was%2C%20I%27m%20sure%2C%20partly%20inspired%20by%20M.%20C.%20Escher.%20%0D%0A%0D%0AIsoMatrix%20was%20a%20font%20long%20before%20Fontstruct%2C%20and%20was%20much%20harder%20to%20realize%20with%20bricks%20than%20vectors.%0D%0A%0D%0AThis%20one%20is%20shared%20thanks%20to%20the%20intricate%203D%20output%20of%20the%20following%20fontstructors%3A%0D%0A%0D%0Ashasta%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2Fescheresk%22%3E%20Escheresk%2C%20%3C%2Fa%3E%0D%0Afrodo%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F210288%22%3EHommage%20a%20Escher%2C%3C%2Fa%3E%0D%0Aand%0D%0Afunk%20king%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2Fsoma_2%22%3ESoma.%3C%2Fa%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AIt%20is%20also%20released%20for%20Em42%2C%20because%20it%20was%20created%20purely%20with%20the%20original%20set%20of%20bricks%20that%20Fontstruct%20started%20out%20with.
