As the quality of the output of the FontStruct community increases, making the choice for the next Featured FontStruction gets more difficult every week.
We gave this issue some thought, and starting today we have not just one, but several rotating Featured FontStructions at once.
We think that this little change will make Featured FontStructions more efficient in communicating the stylistic diversity and the creative power of our top FontStructors.

Every day, every hour, FontStructors all over the globe create and edit FontStructions and discuss their work with their peers. Every now and then, we – the FontStruct Staff – select Top Picks, tweet about updates and other topics or post content here on Brick-By-Brick.
As the size and productivity of our community increases, keeping track of all these different things was becoming increasingly difficult. We started to think about ways to improve the FontStruct experience and came up with FontStruct Live, a new website feature which we are proudly launching today.
FontStruct Live is a super-feed that shows all recent activity in the FontStruct community in one single place. New and updated FontStructions, comments on FontStructions and on the blog, updates on Twitter, Top Picks – everything is there. Users can individually select which types of activity they want to view, and can go multiple pages further back in time to see what happened since their last visit.
Another new feature on our homepage is the Tag Cloud, an alternate entry point to the available collection of FontStructions. Having trouble finding that cool FontStruction? Try searching with tags!
We are very excited about these two new features – everyone visiting our website can now have a taste of how it feels to be a FontStructor.
As always, we look forward to hear what you think.
