By popular demand, I'm very proud to present you this recreation/digitization of Maxim Zhukov's Meander (an experimental modular type design from 1972, which was used in cover artworks for Stereolab's Dots and Loops album and Miss Modular EP).
Now supports Cyrillic characters and includes other custom-made glyphs, like numerals and punctuation marks.

A font I intend to use for a personal project of mine, should it ever come to fruition. I just, uh...got so caught up in the euphoria of designing a typeface that I forgot I lived in a world where the passage of time exists. Also I won't even need all these characters, I just know that (as long as my project doesn't flop) there'll inevitably be a person like me who'll go on a hunt for the font and will be disappointed if there's not a full alphabet available. *coughHALFLIFE2coughPORTAL2cough*
Sorry, I must have gotten a frog stuck in my throat.
ANYWAY, I've never actually made a font before (except once with my handwriting, though that file is gone with the wind), so any pointers are appreciated! :D
(I'll probably be adding characters for a while yet, so if you see there's one missing for your language of choice, feel free to lmk so I can get that in here!)
Oh, no, the bricks got jumbled D:<
This is possibly the biggest font I will ever create, and probably the one I'm most proud of at that. The original was built over the course of 4 months, and I'm very, very happy with how it turned out. Along with all of the 25 basic categories, I included 23 of my own - some finished, some unfinished. This has been a long process, sometimes fun, sometimes tiring, but I hope you find this font useful. Luckily, with all of the scripts it works with, it should have a use for everyone :) Please enjoy!
I am open to comments, suggestions and any other feedback. If you would like me to add another script, I am open to the task! :)
Edit: It's been more than a year and I'm still going strong! 6731 characters total. Trying to knock-off some smaller / less used scripts. :)
Jan 22, 2024: Fully finished font! 7500 total characters.
Thanks to everyone who has liked or downloaded! :)
Then I thought "How about adding a shadow? Just a little shadow for zarzaparrilla..." Hmmm, well, it was a bit more complicated than it may seem at first... But finally here it is! Ta-da-daaa! (-Phew-). Inspired on a few glyphs from "Pionner" (1969) by Francisco Gonzales.
This is a clone of zarzaparrilla eYe/FSLike the original Blocky Geo, only sharper.
