Effleurage brick massage. Sharp and curvy 6x10 grid space experiment. Weird spacing due to double size filtering in conjunction with half bricks makes this mostly unusable. But that's why there's alternate spaced letters instead of numbers...for now. The spacing is compensated to look better in actual use than on the preview. Minimal space tweaking was done on the sample, but wherever the spacing was really off (which was pretty much everywhere), the alternate space character was used.
Alt spacing characters:
a = 1
s = 2
x = 3
z = 4
Z = 5
S = 6
e = 7
o = 8
t = \
g = ^
s = |
Ligatures:
fi = @
ff = _
fl = #
ffl = /This is a clone

A bit of a mish-mash of terminals going on here. One tries these things to see if they work...

This one looks better in smaller sizes. Best at pixel size.
-----------------------------------
I started with the small letters. Then I tried to create matching capital letters. I'm not sure about other glyphs.
-----------------------------------
Any suggestions/comments on this are welcome:)

Clone of Prometheus Light (Basic Set), which is based on condensed Grecian typefaces by Darius Wells and William Hamilton Page. Many Grecian wood type samples lack lower case characters or numerals (or both!)... hence my sampling of different sources.This is a clone

The Playtime Family. A product of being completely snowed in all weekend and spending a lot of time playing blocks and legos with the kid. Even when I'm not fontstructing I'm still playing with bricks.This is a clone of Playtime

This Fontstruction was produced after plugging in the Atari 2600 the other night and falling in love all over again with the minimalist simplicity of the game Breakout.
A little Jobs/Wozniak drama from the development story of the game Breakout:
"Breakout, a discrete logic (non-microprocessor) game, was conceptualized by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow, after the latter had "rejoined" Atari after the merge of Atari subsidiary Kee Games.
"Al Alcorn was assigned as the project manager, and began development with Cyan Engineering in 1975. The same year, Alcorn assigned Steve Jobs to design a prototype. Jobs was offered USD$750, with an extra $100 each time a chip was eliminated from the prospected design. Jobs promised to complete a prototype within four days. Jobs noticed his friend Steve Wozniak—employee of Hewlett-Packard—was capable of producing designs with a small number of chips, and invited him to work on the hardware design with the prospect of splitting the $750 wage.
"The original deadline was met after Wozniak didn't sleep for four days straight. In the end 50 chips were removed from Jobs' original design. This equated to a $5000 USD bonus, which Jobs kept secret from Wozniak, instead only paying him $375."

Permutation: The act of changing the arrangement of a given number of elements.
One font, two different brick combinations.
Picking any two bricks from the 169 available gives a total possible combinations of 14196 (169C2) different fonts. Counting a certain kinds of bricks as one--all four 45degree, for instance--gives 36 unique bricks, resulting in 630 (36C2) unique combinations or fonts.
In this font, if the bricks are swapped with each other, the result will be a different font. Hence order of the bricks matter. In which case, nCr (combinations) is not the right choice. What's needed is nPr (permutations). 169P2 gives 28392 permutations and a 36P2 gives 1260 permutations.
So, at a minimum, 1260 fonts are possible with the current implementation of FontStruct, with just this particular layout of bricks.

Inspired by the saccharine sounds of the ice cream truck, which has been making the late evening loop around these parts. Upper and lowercase letters enjoy getting all mixed up with one other like a melting Neapolitan ice cream bar. Enjoy.This is a clone of Pop Blox

It's been a while since I released a movie themed font. This was a good excuse to experiment with 1:16 angles to recreate the original Predator movie logo. Predatoric was tricky to create as well as manage in regards to the fades on curves and angles. Small Caps were created afterward. Predatoric 2 came about by accident and looked even more interesting.
Digits from the Predator self=destruct sequence are housed in the [, ], {, and }.

Old celtic style font. Now with some diacritics and variants. Most of the vowels can have an acute over them, and many of the consonants can have dots. The dots make them be pronounced as if they were followed by an H, e.g. Th, Sh. Ë is a variant of R, Ì is a variant of S and Î is a variant of S with a dot above. Ï is the Irish symbol for "agus" or "and".

I put this one together very quickly. Diacritics and punctuation are coming soon.

The Chesterfield Royal Family was formed from my desire to add new weights to the original Chesterfield typeface. In the process of drawing these new weights, I began modifying some of the forms of the new glyphs away from the original Chesterfield glyphs in order to build a more flexible brick/grid structure for the development of various weights. The most noticeable difference between these three new faces and the original is the lowered x-height. That said, there are still some compromises between the different weights and because of that I've given them these royalty names instead of the normal practice of light, regular, and bold weight names. One of the biggest compromises occurs in the Prince weight, where I was unable to add the notch where bowls and shoulders meet stems (see King and Queen weights) without adding too much extra black weight to those parts of the glyph.
A work in progress for sure. Any help/thoughts/repulsions/bile appreciated.
