Circa 1980 New York subway trains with Single-Letter Top-To-Bottom Whole Cars.
Two cars on DeTrayne are dedicated to influential graffiti artists that have passed away way too soon.
Dondi, from New York, was a master of readable and wildstyle letterforms, whole-car masterpieces, colorful backgrounds and characters. He was also a pioneer in taking his art from the subway to art galleries worldwide. Dondi passed on October 2, 1998 from complications from AIDS.
On this day, Feb. 17, in the year 2000, legendary San Francisco Bay Area graffiti artist, Dream, was robbed and killed at gunpoint. It was a major loss, not just for the bay area, but the worldwide graffiti art community. One of Dream's most famous pieces, "Best of Both Worlds," displayed a mastery of two intricate west coast styles that raised the bar in defining a graffiti "king." A testament to his greatness is his memorial wall in Daly City that still stands untouched to this day, and includes tribute pieces from artists that have traveled from all over the world to contribute. It was a great honor to have worked on a music video that served as a tribute to Dream, and brought his family, friends, and his crew TDK together again for a celebration of his life and art.
Graffiti art has been a major influence on me and every typographic creation I develop. Out of everything I've publicly shared, this fontstruction is the most meaningful and defining for me. Hi, I am Geneus1: digital graffiti artist.

Inspired by caseycastille's Chinese Chairs, this started out as an exploration of optional letters for that font. Then I just doodled some repeating patterns. Then I saw how I can fill the patterns inside the letters. They fit together pretty easily for vertical letters, but diagonals were really tricky. The end product resembled Hawaiian leis draped over each glyph. Very floral. So there you have it. Flowers. For Casey. :)This is a clone

I hate Times New. It deserves to be smudged, eroded, distressed, manipulated and otherwise abused.
*Note: I wasn't looking at anything as a reference when I did this; probably should have - the "W" and the "M" would have looked better, but frankly, Times New doesn't deserve the attention to detail. : )

Flameon is extracted from the FLAME ON! battle cry created for the most excellent Bubble Lab Collaboration started by kix. Join in the fun already! I thought I might as well make the entire alphabet in the same style without the flames. The lines came from the style of old school renderings of the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four in Marvel Comics.

“The process is a little reminiscent of Tetris, but without the overwhelming feeling that sets in when the pieces start dropping at an impossibly rapid pace.”
Yes! Fun and addictive like Tetris.
Tetrisyde is entirely made up of Tetris blocks. (The preview may be a little off due to scaling, but trust me, they're there. You might get a better view by scrolling in increments.) This font is inspired by the above quote from ReadyMade magazine and Stephen Coles' comment on FontStructions inspired by Tetris. Enjoy!

Complete with Chrome gloss and "Sin City" style shadows.

Use the Big Fat fonts with each other in different colours for awesome chromatic effects.
A big fat angular industrial strength chromatic font. The lowercase contains the fill for the uppercase.
UPDATED 25 February 2009: Made the space character 2 grid units wider.
UPDATED 27 February 2009: The 'J' has been off this entire time and nobody noticed. Now it's fixed. Also fixed width of 'Q' to match new members of the Big Fat family.

Designed as part of a university project. I studied ornate Circus and Carnival style lettering which often incorporate intricate detailing within the letters. I have attempted to blend a particular lattice pattern with blackletter-style letter forms.
