My version of Jan Tschichold’s “Schmale Grotesk - Leicht und schnell konstruierbare Schrift” (narrow grotesque - font that is easy and quick to construct), from 1930.
Turns out it isn’t always “quick and easy” to translate a pen and straightedge approach to constructed letters into Fontstruct’s prefabricated bricks setting.
In expanding the glyph coverage, I tried to remain true to the spirit of the original self imposed limitations, both in terms of grid (e.g. the cramped space for the uppercase diacritics), and of tools (see the solution for superscripts et similia).
The font covers all of Google Fonts Basic set and, given the c-caron present in the source, all of Czech orthography. I may try to add other Eastern European languages in the future.
For different takes on the same source, you can look at Serious, here on Fontstruct, or at Iwan Reschniev, for an extensive expansion in weights and typographic features.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome :-)
A narrowed zrebmun version, trying another different point of view for the original font. Let me know what do U prefers, please.
This is a clone of zrebmun eYe/FSThe NUMBERS were the origin: This font has been created from the design of glyphs 0, 2 and 4, which was then extrapolated to the rest of the characters. Unicase with alternates. Thanks @AidenFont for the vertical stripes idea.
My rendition of the UKTV channel-specific on-demand services font.
This is a clone of züricher eYe/FSMy second entry for the Numbers competition.
This one has actually been sitting there for a while already, I haven't published it before because of the terrible kerning and some awful letter solutions. But I think the numbers are quite cool, so...
My little personal and humble tribute to our Astonishing FontStruct on its 16th birthday, full of admiration and respect for the Great Creator & Big Chief Rob Meek and all fontstructors, big and small, who used it during these amazing years! LONG LIVE FONTSTRUCT!!!
Clone of Sterile Timid by Riccard0, enhanced with some central euroupean glyphs, cyrilic and improvised greek.
This is a clone of Sterile Timid r0.3Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
This is a clone of zhyghosts eYe/FSjust a cool widened font: the first of 64 cunningly cloned special fonts designed at different grid scales (in this case, it uses 1 to 2)
This is a clone of fs excaliburSimple scrape optical experiment with eroded characters. You can find a lowercase "c" in the "¢" glyph and "ff" and "tt" ligatures placed in the "fi", "ff" and "fl", if you need any of them. Suggestions to improve the font are welcome. Hope you like them.
This is a cloneExpanded version of Structurosa font with support of Uppercase and several more glyphs
Some changes include:
- Addition of Dots on small I and J
- Addition of stroke on 0 to distinguish it from O
- Glyphs with Cedilla have unified cedilla mark
Original font by @pauldhunt. Script and Bold Script letters come from Structurosa Script and Structurosa Script Heavy fontstructions by pauldhunt respectively
This is a clone of StructurosaCredits to: @elmoynique for the font.
This is a clone of zikiya eYe/FSIt's silly (but I couldn't get it out of my head): This is the font inside zignbox. Absolute negative space use. Unicase with alternates, of course. But it works well!.

This is a clone of bootlegger-speakeasySince I could not find "non-eroded" version of a source font that I like a lot, I decided to make my own clone. When at it I tweaked some letters (A, K, W, Y, 5) to my liking and left the lowercase as variations. Also added few letters with diacritics from my region.
