A segmented display inspired by Lorica Segmentata.
I didn't make this to convey the idea of "Space Romans", but I can see how it might be used in such a context. For that I'm envisioning something like a flip-dot display which uses these metal plates. Perhaps in the future I'll get an Arduino and some servos, then set about trying to build such a display...
A design for Perler bead and other fused bead artists.
These letters are designed to use a small(ish) amount of of beads while still being sturdy enough to make into charms, keychains and such. The letters are on a 7x7 grid and require an average of about 44 beads to make.
I recommend filling in the negative spaces with more beads, but if you fuse both sides, these designs should work fine on their own. I'll test some myself and post images eventually...
Original size: 5.25pt
"Mythical Bursts" is an anagram of "Bismuth Crystal". The design is inspired by said crystals as well as Mayan/Aztec carvings (or at least, the comparatively simple forms they have in popular media) and sgraffito art in which a surface is scratched off to reveal a contrasting material underneath.
12SEP2018: I've edited every glyph in order to disconnect the letterforms from their enclosing shapes. This makes the font much more readable and consistent.

I made a blocky, industrial sort of style, then added art deco-style line width variation. Then, a couple of tech lines here, a couple of details there, and SHAZAM! We get these 1950's-era raygun-toting space race zippity zap letters. It's a font Marvin the Martian might use...

Another experiment. I made a grid out of the pinwheel shapes, then started drawing on it. Not sure why the bugged glyph count... hope nothing goes wrong...
Try viewing at 2x Pixel size to see how it is intended to look!
Type one of `|\^[] then a letter to texture the background as well!
Type _ to create the blank pattern between letters.

Design Rules:
1. Alphabetic glyphs must fill the pinwheel grid space as much as possible.
2. The pinwheels must not touch any letter's perimeter line. Nor must they deviate from their formation, except when being deleted to make room for the perimeter lines.
3. 90-degree angles only.
Clone of zlabby eYe/FS by elmoyenique (initial concept & awesome design, all uppercase characters, limited punctuation).
My contribution to this font project (this derivative font with the reserved name "Slabie") is to add a lowercase characters letterset and add more punctuation - modified by Doug Peters of Symbiotic Design (2018).
If you like/use it, we would appreciate credit for our contributions to the font design.

My attempt at a font which uses only one grid square per glyph. I guess this is the Fontstruct equivalent of pixel art...?
As an extra challenge I decided to use no curved bricks. (This rule was since broken to add © and ®).
Even better letterforms could be created by compositing the entire thing. However, the goal here was to do what I could with the existing bricks. As such, only #?![]{}¹²³ make use of composites.
RIBBON is a font designed to emphasize the little details in life that make things better. Originally just a doodle, the typeface evolved through many different styles and looks, before finally settling on the “folded” look, using sharp corners on letters and folds, the way a letterform would look if one really wanted to make it out of ribbons! I hope you enjoy the font and put it to good use on special occasions!
A typeface inspired by synthwave music and the art that represents it. The late 1980's and early 1990's landscape is full of amazing creativity that would be great to build off of.
I tried to capture the unique structure the music has to its sound, which is where the block shapes come in. To compliment the music's unpredicability, I made up all the block letterforms out of a "scan-line-esque" pattern.
Simple mostly 4x5 pixel font created from scratch for use in my Dot Matrix Circuit, a Pebble watch watchface posted here
I may tweak/add onto this if needed for personal reference.
Any suggestions, comments?
