Doodle doodle DOODLE!

The flaws which were previously evident in the counter shapes have been corrected. This design is now suitable for use at any legible size.

Version 1.1 - Added Polish.

A font for times when Immersive Mode is turned off. This is used for documents and signage within the Euphedoran Extradimensional Research Institute situated in Euphedora, Greater Azwelkeland, Planet Ashr within ESOSVM.

EERI is known for Fengmiao Fukota, Salva Dheen and Triste Marinan, three of ESOSVM's most-learned and chronologically oldest AI characters. The lattermost of these is often consulted (through a software called MIDAS) for analysis which I use to improve the readability of certain fonts.

Small-grid doodle which creates new combinatorial forms.

I considered this design rather rough and unappealing until I gave it negative spacing. This caused the forms to merge together in unpredictable and interesting ways. The lesson here is that sometimes the metrics, not the aesthetics, are what "save" a design.

A harsh 2-in-1 pattern font.

Revisiting Celosia, this time with faux-beziers instead of pixels.

Alternate @ design on ©.

This is an unofficial forum I have made for FontStruct tutorials and educational materials. Want to know how to do something, or how to make a certain style or effect? This is the place to ask. I am not part of staff, and am far from being the most advanced user on here, but will pass on whatever I can. 

I have been writing an FS video series for some time, but it has proven very time-consuming to make the series as comprehensive (and as high-quality) as I would like. It has also occurred to me that I can teach a lot through simple text and graphics. This is my attempt to create a knowledge hub for FS where all the good stuff is in one place. If you make a tutorial or expand on mine in some way, you're welcome to post those here as well.

Please keep the discussion topical. This page is about tutorials, requests and discussions for them, etc. Idea Soup is more of a free-for-all and anything FS-related is accepted there. Idea Soup is also a good place to discuss tutorial ideas, since we can work out exactly what needs to be taught there without clogging the comment section here. (There is a limit on the number of comments this page can have, right?)

This page is open to users of all languages, but we may have to use Google Translate to answer you. Sorry in advance for any bad translations :D

Related Forum:FontStruct Idea Soup

The font used for these forums is Tangereen 2.

Is it Serif or Sans? Western or Gothic? Double font or not? One thing is certain: This is not a time-travelling alien. Probably.

I decided to make a design which incorporated the thinnest/lightest weight lines possible in FontStruct. This is the result; I'll add more if people like it.

These 1/32 lines cannot be accurately nudged, so a unique line has to be built for each vertical position where I want a line. These lines also cannot be centered on a place where two curves meet (such as the middle of B or R). This introduces some unintentional asymmetry to the design, but I like it, so I'll keep it.

There is also the problem that forming a diagonal line of the same line weight is nearly impossible. While angled 1/32 lines can be formed, their angles are all close to 0. No method exists for making a line which slants at 45 degrees while also being 1/32 weight. So, I had to make some thicker lines in certain areas. I don't think they detract from the design, but if you scrutinize this enough, you'll notice them.

Inspired by a type identification request over at Typography.guru.

During developement, the tool has taken over, also helped by the scarcity of letters available in the original, making the design more sans than serif, and with strong MICR vibes in some places.

The name means "shoe shop" (also shoe repair or shoe making) in Italian.

At the moment the language coverage is limited to Western Europe.

A pixel font which combines four experimental techniques at once:

1. Structurally disconnecting the stems from the open parts of letters.

2. Allowing glyphs to extend beyond the reaches of width and starting position.

3. Designing glyphs specifically to connect and form new shapes, rather than simply allowing shapes to emerge from existing characteristics.

4. Designing glyphs so that the overall font is free of a need for kerning.

Alternates are now on UPPER CASE. I'll continue to update this as I get more ideas!

Original size: 6.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A slightly leafy engraving-style Decolike.

"thank god theres a copy and paste function"

----------------------------------------------------------------

i thought an isometrical font would be nice so i made one

wow i like 3d fonts huh

I saw a old poster on the internet and this is a remake of the font it used.

By request, a condensed and quirky outline font!

This font used to be a normal Decolike... until someone decided to chow down on it! They seemed to prefer the taste of spurs, as all of them have been bitten off, leaving only semicircular impressions.

"Nervousa" is an anagram for "Ravenous".

A variant of Marrada with more angles.

Usually with designs I try to make every part look like it "belongs" with the others as opposed to trying to make each part look its best. With Marrada, I struck a balance between the two. Q1@*&{} are probably the best examples of this sort of balance...

This was a simple idea started from S and T. Most of the glyphs have two verticle strokes that are 4-bricke-wide and a 1-brick-wide area in the middle of the character. except I, L, S and T (actually a lot more). They are a bit different. Especially S, T and L. The whole characters are only 8 bricks wide. As I mentioned above, It's because the whole font started from these characters.

Straka the name came from last name of a person. The S and T reminds me of this person's last name. I like this last name although I don't even know him.

About the Latin extension, I have made only the glyphs that require no new design, just diacritics and already made letters. So I can pretend like hard-working on fonts but copy paste in reality. :P

Also, I made Arabic glyphs. Only isolated forms. Which I suppose won't be a comfortable experience to Arabic users. It's like every letter has crazy swashes but every letters are lightyears away from each other.(or is it?)

Credit me bcuz it took days and I gave it all to you for free. Unthankful hairless ape. :p

has it gone 2 far? hope it didn't hurt you.

Version 1.3: Added Polish.

Another asymmetrical sans-serif made for use in rulebooks for the Freeform Limitless Adventure Kit (FLAK) pen-and-paper game system. This one is classed as a hybrid and works well at all point sizes!

It began as a Constant Height design, but now I don't classify it as such since most of the letters with diacritics are taller than those without. A few letters (eszett, thorn, eta, etc.) are allowed to descend slightly, as well.

This font has also found some use on signage at a friend's bistro!

Art Deco tile mosaic lettering design and background tile patterns.

It's designed to craft layers of typographic mosaics. It can create very subtle clear display text combinations when only layering text with just one or two backgrounds max. This will result in nice retro-ish mosaic typography. But beware, combining two or more background patters with for example different blending modes on each layer, this seemingly peaceful boy becomes capable of recreating the big bang!

All patterns are located in the Unicode block for Block Elements!

You know what, lets make this one clonable for everyone.

Enjoy!
