a 1920s-style font in 2019... :)

For my 300th Fontstruction, a more open and airy deco style than those I usually make. It has a strong sense of the "negative space has been sliced out" look about it which I tend toward in an art deco design.

Even though this is legible at a small size, I consider it a display font since many of its details are subtle. In retrospect I think this looks slightly Broadway-ish... but, this was just my attempt at a 5x5 deco.

"Gongclonker" is my nickname because I am a gong player.

A 5x5 design expanded to 11x11. This gives it a cinematic marquee look.

This is a work in progress.

After making Ticketmeister, I got curious about the idea of 35mm film glyphs. I wanted to see how accurately the shape and proportions of the film could be recreated with Fontstruct bricks. I used a 1px = 1 square = 1mm conversion, and think I've nailed the original film look. It's symmetrical, so one glyph in isolation will look as if it were spliced out.

"Space" lacks borders, so it can be used to show a continuous reel - useful for enlarging and making imagery with.

This Art Deco, Cinema inspired Font has a constructed feel to it as its based on a grid.
