Syzygy was an attempt to create a typeface of old style characters with a high contrast between thicks & thins and attractive curves, despite the inherent limitations of fonstruct’s available blocks. The end result is a highly readable typeface — even at smaller sizes — comprised entirely of straight lines. While the astronomical definition talks about alignment, the word “syzygy” more broadly means “the union of disparate or opposing object, ideas or concepts”. Thus, the name “syzygy” is meant to reference the merger between old-style letters and a modern, computer-driven design tool — truly a meeting of opposites.

This is an attempt to extend acceptability of the bitmap Slightly with sub size dots and "twist joins". I ended up doing a little kerning in a fontlab to get it to where I wanted. That version is not downloadable - sadly enough.

Quirky little serif font. Contains only the Basic Latin character set, so far. Figures are half-way between lining & old-style. More to come, I hope.

Taking advantage of the advanced ratio controls, this is a slightly more open serif typeface. This is one step closer to my goal of making a legible text face in FontStruct. Oldstyle figures.

An attempt at a pixelated weighted serif face in FontStruct. The letters look a whole lot better than numbers and symbols at the moment. Shades of Bodoni.

This may or may not be inspired by a font that may or may not already exist. Alternate 'A', 'M', 'V', 'v', and 'W' characters at <, >, [, \, and ] respectively.

A very enjoyable exercise. I'll attempt an upper case, too... but not at 12.00pm.

When the half-angle blocks were first introduced I thought I would be the last one to produce an old style or transistional sans-serif typeface. Looking through the gallery, I still don't see any attempts. Creating a serif font with blocks is very much a square peg for a round hole, but I enjoyed the challenge. I tried to emphasis all the minor details, like angled stress, or the bottom terminal of the lowercase b. I spent a lot of time on this months ago, but after a while, just lost the drive to complete all the characters. Maybe you're up to the task.

Itried to do something as useful as possible as a typeface for longer text.
edit:
this one will grow and grow in amount of glyphs, so if you like it, stay tuned...

type originally used to sign Aveiro's street names, in particularly, "Largo da Estação" - the train station square. It's part of a Typography project of the Design class from Aveiro's University.

For those who need to fill a long width with few characters, like the spine of a book or CD jacket.

This one likes steel machines that run on boiling water, because my girl is a steam punk rocker!!!
I took some liberties with the serifs: they might not be where they are intended to be or missing where they should be. And, although the lc has ascenders and descenders, the uc is set at x-height.

I was bored, so I started working on a pixelated Didone.
WIP and maybe I’ll do a smooth version.

An exercise in creating a classical Roman style font in FS
I am currently working on an extended and modified version of this ... which I can't help calling 'New Romantic' (I really should resist these urges).

Based on the lettering on the front of the 1978 edition of the Scoutmaster's Handbook. Since the original sample only contained "ABCDEHKMNORSTU-", I had to design the rest from scratch.

My first serious attempt to make a serif using Fontstruct. This is for a university project, where I am attempting to make a serif that could be used in sci-fi moives/tv shows etc. So I’m trying to figure out what makes a typeface 'sci-fi' without a) being a sans and b)resorting to clichés that impede readability.
Any comments/feedback would be much appreciated!
** Much thanks to everyone who has/is giving feedback. Also a big thanks to William for giving me such detailed suggestions and pointers. **

Cleaning out the queue. I can't believe this one has been sitting in here for *gulp* eight months! I figure if I don't kick it out now, then it will sit here sequestered for another eight.
The title is inspired by my struggles to space this one properly.
A work in progress. Taking any and all feedback - especially for spacing.
Works best at specific sizes. Enjoy.This is a clone

More pxl love. And another expansion of Lex Kominek’s Trajedy majuscules.
The freshness of the original charmed me into creating an extended set of matching miniscules, diacritics, symbols and ligatures. But why stop there? :^)This is a clone
