I’d put a Lupin III joke in here, but I’m too lazy. Basically just Lyle, but with the build of your average swimmer. 100% free
This is a clone of Lyle II: The Waggoner Strikes BackA typographical sequel to “Lyle”. 100% Free.
This is a clone of Lyne (Lyle II-B)Not based off of any specific font, just that blocky stencil style from the 60s/70s (Futura Black, Braggadocio). And yes, it’s named after the dude from the Love Boat. Called it a demo because I might make an extended alt in the future that’s also easier to read. 100% free… or is it? Yeah, you know it is.
An expanded edition of Bovin, including a lower case and alternates. Before you like this, make sure to like Bovin Lowercase by Digitalio-2 and Bovin C by Dmitriy Sychiov, who came up with the idea of a lowercase and most of the new characters. 100% free.
This is a clone of Bovin’I noticed a certain lack of Ogham fonts (Ogham being an old way of writing old English in old Englishey times, carved into the corners of big rocks), so I decided to fix that. And put a bit of style into it as well. 100% free.
This is a clone of VCR MultilineThe best possible re-creation of the seemingly unknown font used on a lot of Ben Bova book covers (and by that I mean literally 2, Privateers and Empire Builders), at least to my abilities. It doesn’t really have a lower case, just alternates used on the book covers or just alternate imaginings of what the other letters might look like. 100% free, and kerned to insanity for your pleasure ;)
This is a spin-off of sorts to a project I’m working on, inspired by Burko bold (the original, as used in the PONG logo). Might release the more direct adaptation later, but for this one, I decided to change it up and make it my own. Basic components and some characters from Eternal by AidenFont because I don't know how to make some of them myself :P. 100% free, and kerned to insanity for your pleasure.
This is a cloneVideodisc Multiline (a.k.a. “Francis”) is a sort of companion piece to VCR Multiline. It isn’t as detailed and doesn’t have a lower case, but it still has a certain charm that just couldn’t be scrapped. Sorta got this 80s book cover look, which makes sense cause that’s what I was thinking of when designing it. Also, it’s 100% free.
This is a clone of VCR MultilineGot tired of making little edits so here is a pretty much complete version with alternates and stuff. It’s called VCR Multiline because it kind of looks like the kind of thing you would see on a VCR or other hi-fi machine from the 70s/80s.
This is a clone of VCR MultilineGROOVERIDER — 70's future retro display sans
═══════════════════════════════════
Grooverider is another groovy looking display style with that distinctive 70's retro aesthetics.
The concept for the lettering is that of a solid future retro / space-age style with inversed-stress. It's reversed weight contrast adds some additional groovin' funkyness and good old boogie wonder flavour to the font's overall characteristics. Making it somewhat of a hybrid mixture between two distinct 70's and 80's retro styles.
Simple at the surface, but rather complex down at the Editor level, since the letterforms have several tailor-made geometry and curve shapes. Pulling off some glyphs without disrupting the (near) real Bézier curve geometry was tricky I must say. Like for example the joined letters such as lowercase Æ/Œ, question mark, @ sign, number 2 digit, percent sign and lowecase letter S all proved difficult. But also some unlikely ones that are typically pretty straight forward now were trickier within the font's parameters. But I'm pretty satisfied with the end result so far. Little to no compromising imperfections slipped into the design, one or two real minor ones are present, but only truly become noticeable once the size is fully blown up.
It was very fun to make though, I hope y'all like it...
Cheers
This is a clonePHOTONIA (Pro) - 70s future retro style
═══════════════════════════════════
70s style reverse contrast sans with future retro aesthetics, perfect for projects with a vintage sci-fi, space age or computer theme.
This is actually a refurbished and extended version of an older FontStruction I did back in 2019. The original PHOTONIA was a cool looking little work, but didn't quite made the most of its design concept. Inexperience and poor design decisions had led to inconsistencies and other flaws throughout the font. Besides those it also had a small character set that mostly consisted out of the basic Latin block and bare essential symbols & punctuation marks. But imo it still had quite an interresting retro vibe and the potential to be more. So I decided to give the old project some well deserved refreshments.
First I started eliminating the inconsistencies that were present in the older work, than I continued polishing and re-design / modify several characters hoping to create a greater overall unity to the entire piece. Once I was fully satisfied with this renewed improvements it was time to build and expand the character set towards a more complete lingual and typographic support.
➜ ⚠ Previous Version:
▶ Basic Latin only
▶ Minimal kerning
➜ ⚠ What's New Inside:
▶ Additional Latin and accented Latin
▶ Diacritics
▶ Many glyph alternative forms
▶ Additional symbols and punctuation marks
▶ Horizontal box drawing (page deviders)
▶ Typographical symbols
▶ Ornamental printer's characters
▶ 1680 stored kerning pairs

This is a cloneJust a really blocky font inspired by the many abstractivist typefaces of the 1970s. I based it off of a logo I made once, and it definitely isn't perfect (like seriously, as much as I try, I just can barely get the darn Y to look like anything remotely recognizable!)
EDIT: for some reason it doesn’t look very good zoomed out, so I would highly recommend zooming in before making up your mind about it.
A rigid all-caps font, display/signage style. No curved shapes - I wanted something in the same spirit as "ITC Machine" (Designed by R Bonder and T Carnase in 1970). Thus with a little less compact approach, making it more versatile. Zoomed out, It’s like an edgy, bold and slightly condensed neo-grotesque.
(This fontstruction may be part of a client project, therefore it is fully licenced - at the moment. Hopefully I´ll make it downloadable under the fontstruct licence.)
