This font was inspired from the font the Air Force Reserve uses as part of their logo. If it might look better, I'll add lowercase later. Tell me what you think!

A pretty simple fontstruction on its own. It only comes to life when layered with other fontstructions from the Institutional family (Elements is available now with further additions coming soon); see samples. This fontstructions attempts to further two quests: to have a font almost completely solid (without sacrificing legibility, i.e.) and to find new ways pixel-level coloring without coloring each pixel.
Disclaimer: No attempt is made to copy/reproduce any existing type design or coloring technique. Any resemblance to existing fonts or fontstructions or coloring technique is purely coincidental and displays the designers inability to unlearn intentional or accidental knowledge gained in the past, either visual or technical.

I used to find difficult working with non-English text when using pixel-based fonts because they often lacked characters.
Any constructive opinions are welcome =D Please, be gentle.
Being the first font I ever worked on, I decided to do very simple letter forms including characters I often use when typing in Spanish, French and Swedish, and even adding some Katakana.

For my font I tried searching for a new meaning to explore the theme of curves. I did this by approaching it in a different manor by looking into the value of 3D curves, for example poles. This was then developed from phone masts into the forms of aerial and radar. Its name derives from my view that the font Arial could be updated and made more exciting and I did this in a literal way, its primarily a headline font, but could also be used for logos, especially within the telecommunication industry.

For use at pixel level. Also works at 32pt×x, where x=1,2,4,8,etc. ----- This font has been a long time in the making. The dots are such that the curved shapes and squared-off letters just would not resolve to an equal height no matter what I tried. Then after the mixed x-height that came about in yesterday's la Cross, it occurred to me to just let the letters be as tall as they wanted to be. It seems to work for some odd reason. Can someone please explain why it works?This is a clone

This one started out quite different; a simple three-line font. While making an alternate B, the curlicue was introduced. A clone and many hours later, Etched was born. Later added borders and decorations when the sample called for it. Then cloned the clone and stripped it bare...because DJNippa was going to ask for it, wasn't he!. :-) ----- Works best at 64pt. Set leading to between 48pt and 56pt. No kerning required.

Later added borders and decorations when the sample called for it. ----- Works best at 64pt. Set leading to 48pt for a single dividing line in between, 52pt for a double dividing line, and 56pt for a clear break between lines. No kerning required.
Start a new line with < and end it with >.

This is my first font, so I thought I would just make it free for everyone.
The font just consists of uppercase letters, no numbers, punctuations or lowercase letters.

‘int’ stands for ‘international’ as this font covers multiple scripts.
It’s not beautiful, but it has a lot of (uppercase) glyphs to start from. It’s more like a showcase of what is possible in a rectangle 5 pixels wide and 7 pixels tall.

It started when kolarek posted the RÖFIX logo as his inspiration for his Blokinjo FontStruction. I wondered if that logo could be recreated exactly in FS. Turns out, it could. Having done that exercise, it was time to move on to play with other character designs. In a short while the whole set was done that matched the logo characters. Then the playing really began. Over the last 11 days, enough variations for each character were generated to fill three fonts. This is just one of those three.

A font for titles/posters
P.S: "Cabbage cake" is a phrase I use to test my fonts once I have designed letters a-k.

This was fun for me...just for feel some freedom on the grid.
The lowercase contains alternates characters, so... there are two possibilities of uppercase, adding more handwritting feeling.
