My most recent debacle is no longer a tragedy thanks to Sed4tives (Thanks!). ;)
I made an extra long space in Specials so that the line height and/or leading would work out with the 2x2 blocks (at least, in Fontstruct previews).
The idea is to have a spinning ying-yang symbol as the pattern to qualify it as a counter. Plus, it's a container, using the negative space where the pattern is broken-up, to define the characters. I also used mini ying-yang symbols to round some of the edges, or perhaps to define a boundry that required it.
This design was inspired by futuristic/space letters.
The round letters have a smooth outter edge while the inside still has it's sharp corners. The bits missing in the letters give it a separation and playful look.
Experimental font doodle made with the pizza slice brick. It reminds me of the keeled scales of a viper.
This creates many distinct visual effects depending on size and coloring!
In school I used to hand-draw fonts wherein every letter was cut down and relied on the letters around it to form itself. This is an attempt at doing the same with Fontstruct bricks.
"Cadcutters Print" is an anagram for "Truncated Script".
Since it's a bit tough to read it unambiguously, I also consider it a very weak cipher.
Original size: 5.25px (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
because negative space is all the rage these days
i put like 0 effort into this so there might still be some font left over, lemme know if you find it
btw how many times has this been done before? i'm genuinely curious
recommended use: don't
alternate name: the emperor's new font
t.e.r.s. is a font that uses the negative space of horizontally flipped letterforms to hide one's meaning. "Ters" means "reverse" in Turkish. If you need a good typeface to hide your meaning while still looking cool, try out t.e.r.s.! This font was completed in 2 hours for the Fontstruct Reverse Competition!
