I'm just getting to grips with the composite stuff. It's a bit of a headache to work out ALL the possibilities, but it's exciting as its a whole new world waiting to be discovered.
It may only be an exercise to you Gene, but it looks so good and will spur us all on :)
@neurone error. Yes, a part of me thinks there will always be some impossible curves but seeking the impossible is usually a good starting point for me. This design was purposely fontstructed to explore creative usage of brick stacking and compositing, and the identification of limitations naturally is a part of that. Specifically, the size of the serifs dictated the shapes of the rest of the letterforms. Much of the structures are workarounds that will be resolved with the addition of the magical "blank" brick which will enable further compositing functionality. The thinness of the serifs forced me to manipulate certain bricks to simulate natural curves. This can be seen when zooming in to view the internal curves on rounded characters. Can I modify this design to look better by efficiently using the new features? Sure. Hold on for S2.
@ aphoria. Thanks!
@djnippa. It's best not to try to work out all of the overwhelming possibilities. If you stick with a specific design in mind, then you can create the possibilities out of necessity. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Renovare S1 is just an example of working with smaller scale fontstructions to maximize the curvy bricks. Lots more can be done in larger scales. FYI, While starting out with compositing, I'd recommend not changing the filter settings unless you know what you're getting into. It can quickly get ridiculous if things aren't planned out in advanced.
@elmoyenique. Hi, elmoyenique. It's me. Mr. Geneus1. ;-)
@Frodo7. The complexity of creating this font is multiplied due to working with double filters. But the 2:2 workspace is the only one that will enable the necessary angles to complete all of the characters - until the blank brick is released. In the standard 1:1 setting, the steeper curves on the A and V can't be created through compositing without the blank brick. But be warned, when compositing with upscaled bricks, it's almost like compositing blind, and it is easy to be confused when you don't get what you planned to composite. Usually I try to build with minimal brick wastage, but I liked the way the font looked in outline mode so I left all the experimental bricks in the sample.

@afrojet. Thanks Jet!
@p2pnut. Thanks for the encouragement. This exercise really was like a workout. No pain, no gain. Have your preferred pain relief product handy just in case. ;-)
@meek: Certain composite bricks have turned into blank spaces, even in the brick bin! I didn't really change anything since downloading, and the exported TTF looks fine, so I don't know what happened...
Some of the bricks just broke in your font...
Your font looks kinda broken now; how are you going to fix it?!
