This is a bulky octagonal font with unfilled diagonal corners and few frills. Characters that are usually drawn with ends curving up or down have been constructed with plain horizontal bars instead (e.g., "C" and "g").

This is a heavy octagonal font with characters that are not separated from their neighbors on either side. The result isn't connected script, of course, but the proximity gave the font its name.

This typeface is for my typography project to design my own typeface. It is vaguely geometric; every stroke that would normally be curved has a curved edge to it, and every straight edge uses a flat block or a sharp end. All straight strokes begin with a flat block and end with a point, and all curved strokes begin with a block and in with a curved flourish.
The name "Butterknife" was inspired by a group we made in class by grouping together people with similar faces. Ours became the group Buttered Toast. My partner's typeface was reminiscent of retro type and she titled it Toaster. Likewise, I realized the shape of my characters were slightly knife-esque. Thus the Butterknife typeface was born.
Q: What's with the name? A: At some point over the holidays, the movie Thunderball was on and I got to thinking about jet packs, Aston Martins, archenemies, Blofeld, SPECTRE and whether Miami is really worth 100 Million in diamonds or if it might have been better just to keep the diamonds instead of trying to save Miami. I mean, at the time of the movie, Miami hadn't even discovered cocaine yet and really wasn't on the map. If I were Blofeld, I would have picked an entirely different city to hold a bomb threat over. It was the sixties after all, take out San Francisco. Incidentally, at one point in the movie Bond finds himself in the Bahamas in the middle of a junkanoo, which is a kind of street fair where folks wear insanely colorful costumes (mostly of feathers) and dance around. Junkanoo! Now that would make a great name for a font. Much better than Thunderball. Is it too late to change the name?
Q: Your recent output - including this clodhopper - seems to be stuck on the 1.8 brick size filter, is your filter toggle stuck or something? A: Your Mom's filter toggle is stuck, buddy! And my next font will be called Clodhopper, and it will be yet another font built at 1.8 and it's going to be big and thick so you'll really feel it when I beat on your skull with it.
Q: Whoa! Touchy. Ok, how about that uppercase 'T', it's awfully funny looking, you gonna change it? A: Oh Boy. You just don't know when to quit, do you? The 'T' began as a spacing compromise but over the last few days it has grown on me - overtaken me really - like some saccharine soaked pop song that I hate but secretly love. So back off on the 'T', it's not going anywhere.
Q: Any last thoughts? A: Blofeld, Junkanoo, Clodhopper - all rad names for fonts that have yet to be born. Q.E.D.

This font draws some characteristics from the font used in the logo for the band Dark Tranquility (known as Industria Solid), most noticeably the curved, almost sharp looking edges and a lack of many curves (outside of the "sharp" points). Because of this, the font is named after a song on their Fiction album called "Icipher", as it's where I first saw the font (and liked it).

There are a million flaws in this. It's still being built. Leave comments if you like.

Please contact me if you would like to use for non personal purposes. I would like to know what commercial uses this font is used for prior to use in commercial application.

Block square font with minimal counters.
Uppercase is bordered. Use "[" and "]" to open and close the line. Use "_" for a bordered space. Press shift and type the numbers above letter keys for bordered numbers. Use "," for bordered "." When kerning is set to "Metrics" the tracking of 60 eliminates all the gaps between the borders.
Lower register and Num pad work for non-bordered characters.

This is a VERY solid, sturdy font. I was inspired to make this by the "chocobot solid" font. Not only did I make this very sturdy, but you will be amazed when you look at the block size of 4x5!

This font is based exactly off of my original sketch of the "exit 505" sign I saw. I drew exactly as I saw an alphabet of 14 letters and an ampersand, and on the plane I filled in the other 12 necessary for an alphabet. The sign was all caps, but for your purposes, I shortened the lowercase.

You can probably guess where the inspiration for this came from :D the only difference being that this is totally angular.

A very simplistic wide font. Only lowercase developed so far, tho. Dislike the 'v' for its use of diagonal lines, maybe the 'i' and 'j' look slightly ugly...comments n suggestions pl0x.
