It's finally done, it took me nearly 2 days to get the kerning done and balance this baby, but here she is!

SCRIPTORIUM - A Gothic script/Blackletter typeface design with drop shadow.
Recap of the lettering from Dutch hardware store-chain "GAMMA".
I have absolutely zero clue on who originally designed it.
(If someone here knows more about the origins please let me know, thanks)
Nonetheless it's a pretty cool futuristic looking design as well as a tribute to its predecessors that set the tone for the genre at the start of the last century.
As usual the alphabet is completed and some punctuations is added.
A pretty simple looking variable sans-serif design.
The font allows you to modify the width of nearly every glyph. The one exception that can not be changed is the exclamation mark. I tried to simplify it the best I could, but it remains a little tricky to use, sorry.
HOW TO USE:
To type any sensible text you should start with the uppercase of a certain letter (this will create the left side of it). Followed by the corresponding extender to widen the glyph (repeat this step for a even wider result), and to complete the full letter you close the string with the lowercase glyph for this specific letter (this will create the right side).
There are a couple of glyphs that work slightly different.
These are I,M,T,W,Y, numerals and some punctuations.
To widen "I and T" the extenders are typed before and after the actual letter combination instead of in between.
M,W and Y are split in three (center stem is isolated) in order to allow one to make changes on both sides. To correctly type one of these you start with the uppercase for this specific letter, followed by the corresponding extender, followed by the corresponding center stem, followed with the extender once more, and as last to complete the full letter close the string with the lowercase glyph for this specific letter.
To extend the colon and semi-colon you complete the string for either period or comma first, followed by ;(semi-colon). This will place a dot above it.
And as last, to make a underscore simply use the string for period but with extra extenders.
The numerals work as listed bellow:
• 1:|_
• 2z
• #3
• 4-|-
• 5s
• 6s
• 7*
• 8b
• 9$
• 0o
The extenders are located in the following locations:
` - _ # = :
The isolated stems are located in the following locations:

STF_Littera Textualis Emergo - A formal Gothic minuscule script.
It is finally done!
It took me around 3 full days of design work and polishing.
The major character design part is about done, and I probably will only add some additional extra ligatures and special characters.
The design approach is a large grid Faux Bezier style to get the most out of custom shaping Top/bottom grid scale is a total of 71 bricks with ascenders and descenders included.
I have done a whole lot of finalizing background work already, and many pairs have been kerned already, but not everything was done yet, this is going to be completed within the next few days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Littera Textualis Emergo -
A formal Gothic minuscule that was inspired by Latin bookhand script, better known as 'Textualis'. This script was popular between the 12th & 16th century. Basically Those that would have been used for the main text of Latin books.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A more detailed description is has been written down in a sample image posted in the comment section bellow.
I hope y'all like it as much as I do.
Cheers
This is a clone of STF_SCRIPTORIUM (SHADOW)Style variation in the "STF_CONNECTED SQUARES v2" typeface family.
---------------------------------------------------------
A remastered version of "CONNECTED SQUARES". A previous recap I did from the work of late great dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".
This time I made a much more accurate version. I also added uppercase letters and some extra punctuations.
Enjoy!
Recap of the lettering seen on a old brochure by Wendingen for the "Internationale Theater Tentoonstelling Amsterdam 1922"
The brochure and letters were designed by:
"Hendricus Theodorus Wijdeveld" (4 october 1885 – 20 februari 1987).
As usual I completed the alphabet, but (since its mainly a display typeface) this time I used the punctuations to store some glyphs meant to be used for drawing ornamental decorations as seen on the original brochure design.
STF_VINDALOO (Extra Bold Condensed) - An extra bold and condensed Art-Deco display sans
===========================================
This initially had already been a published work from my early days of Fontstructing and the original had a lot that was less than desirable. For a start, the obvious rookie mistakes, that were due to the lack of typographic education as well as insufficiant knowledge about the overall Fontstruct-Editor Expert-mode features.
- - -
Now several years later, fully acustomed to the physiology of Fontstructing (composite bricks, filters, behaviour) but above all, to be able to visualize ahead and to conceive imaginary conceptual thinking for new ideas or solutions within the FS-Editor limitations. And in return to bounce back from these restrains and make them work in my favour.
So now I feel like I have to give some of my older Fontstructions a serious reassessment, and perhaps do some revisions here and there.
There are numerous hidden gems and potentials within these works, for which back in the day I remained unable to accomplish to their full glory and complete satisfactorily successful end result and design objectives.
- - -
To get back at this particular font:
There was some unsolidified hidden beauty in certain forms that had yet to 'truly' be revealing itself. I completely overhauled a clone but basically ended up with more of a new font instead.
And I really like it

This is a cloneWIP! - A new experiment into handwriting fonts.
I was inspired to do a handwriting script font of my own after I saw the recently submitted couple here at fontstruct by ecluniverso. This member's work is very good and unique, check it out here: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructors/1376510/ecluniverso
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The design concept for my font is handwriting with a broad-tip permanent marker.
I completed the LC string and numerals, plus some punctuations so far. UC (hopefully) coming soon.
Diamundi is a very simple but funny patterned decorative typeface design that mimics facets(flat faces on a geometric shape).
And for that everyone that is checking this, please make sure you zoom in max. to see whats really going on, Even beter, make sure you've seen the sample image bellow, because the Fontstruct preview is total garbage due to my use of composite bricks at this grids tiny size.
Enjoy!
A sans-serif typeface design that was inspired by Tessellation. I choose to do it on a pretty small grid similar to small bitmap fonts. This had me running into a couple of small difficulties with structing some of the glyphs (a,e,s,x and #) untill I finaly was satisfied with them. This since I don't have a great deal of knowledge about small grid bitmap fonts. Also I did quite a bit of tweaking back and forth with spacing, width and kerning before it really felt ballanced to me! Overall I tried to keep it very simple from a design technical point of view.
Enjoy
This is a cloneThin (multi-) stroked art deco type design.
The name derived from the fact that it is a thin stroked art deco design with little to no fancy decorative features, other than its multi-line segments. Hence the name "ART ECO"
The fontstruct preview making some diagonal strokes look slightly thicker than the horizontal and vertical ones due to it's behaviour on brick stacking. Which isn't in the TTF font itself.
Uppercase characters only
Recap from one of the alphabets originally designed by Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".
The Letters were Originally designed for the Giro office building floor plan!
========================
This is a style variation in the "ETAGE AANDUIDING" typeface family.
Enjoy!
A display typeface that revisits the classic Randstad alphabet originally designed by Ben Bos in 1969 working at Total Design. Some changes have been made to a number of characters and letter spacing in order to improve the overal ballance and legibility. In other words, more a semi-recap rahter than a exact replica.
OUDVREUGDE'S ONTWAKEN
A recap of the lettering by "Fre Cohen". And as additional supplement I attempted to complete the entire alphabet plus some punctuations.
In loving memory of the great Dutch graphical designer Frederika Sophia (Fré) Cohen(August 11, 1903 – June 14, 1943).
