The amount of motivation to complete a fontstuction is directly proportion to the amount of PhD work that requires doing. Apparently.

This fs may be used on it's own, but it is designed to be used in conjunction with fs Stack Overflow so any two letters may be stacked one on top of another to create interesting word shapes and unconventional flow.

It looks simple but the execution was surprisingly involved. The idea was to do the letters in as few bricks as possible. Filters. 1.75...to be exact. Again, the geometry did not work out because custom bricks had to be formed to create the fine breaks and they did not line up with the assumed filter. A little bit of algebra later (yes kids, algebra does help in real life) 1.6 was determined as the proper filter setting.

Having built the letters as desired, with many a tweak before finalization, it was on to Overflow, which necessitated a reduction of the letters in half. That was easier said than done because of the filters. Some of the letters just did not translate exactly at half scale at 1.6 filter. Had to scrap the whole thing.

The only option remaining was to double the size and use the double size glyphs for Stack and move the existing Stack glyphs to Overflow. Doubling allowed finer glyph construction. Plenty of diversions later, what came out as reasonable was a strict following of my own grid. Figures.

It is now to the point where I can send it out in the world. I must do that before I do the sample because both thalamic and minimum accounts give a 500 Server Error when attempting a download. Luckily, I have yet another secret account which I will use to attempt download. I hope that works because I am in no mood to build words by taking screenshots and copy/pasting individual letters.

This was supposed to be a simple idea with a simple execution. It should not have taken this long. I'm really curious to see how successful the idea was. Here goes...

For the goddess Circe ... Elegant, feminine, joyful, rounded, with a positive swing to it. Working with shapes and 'frames' I made this for the "mix-and-match" set of decorative fonts called CIRCE. The caps can be used as a "majuscle" but might overload visually if used exclusively in a text? The LC are quite legible in smaller sizes. This font is "all rights reserved" until I have finished the 5 "Circe" font sets.

This font looks like it is being made, it looks more like a stencil font when seen first. It belongs to the "WISH" family and can be used with the other WISH fonts. Added are ligatures FF FI FL and ST and an alternative "@" on the small latin ligature FFI. WISH/OPEN is a clone of WISH/WAITING.This is a clone

For the goddess Circe ... Playing with shapes and 'frames' I made this for a "mix-and-match" family of decorative fonts called CIRCE. The caps look great as a "majuscle" but can also be used at the beginning of sentences (breathtaking alternative, try it in text without a full-stop after a sentence). Arched numbers could be useful to indicate the result of a maths question ;) Use of punctuation marks in an arch might make a plain CIRCE text more eyecatching. They can be used as a decorative element, as divider, etc.etc. A single empty arch is available on the "=", double empty arches on the "[", "]" and "/", triple empty arches on the "<" and ">" Those few other puctuation marks I made are on their respective places :)

Labyrinthine UC plus plain LC in a simple legible style. Also plain accented letters, most punctuation and some symbols. I made this for the ScriptComp but then I thought that the white lines joining the rectangles might not count as a joining of letters ;) ...

This version of standing furniture soon started to look like minimalist designer objects. I chose 'birch' as it has the same visual quality for me. An ideal font for light-and-airy messages ?

The ideal font for overwintering in the comfort of an oldfashioned bed. The "Broomsticks" font will be published later as it is part of my WITCHY FONTS cycle.

Work in progress. That is I'm still working on numerals and all sorts of foreign writing systems, but for "normal" use it's probably fine. Hey, this is my 75th released fontstruction! I should revisit the heaps of private 'structions I've got back there and see if I can make it to a hundred.

This started out as a 'why not'. When it showed potential, I added more glyphs to round out the character set.

— Alt. t at { for words beginning with it.
— ll (double l) lig. at } for a nicer fit.This is a clone of fs Fontsration

Clone of "scratch me if you can". “Scratching” is a form of vandalism apparently derived from sprayed graffiti, in which tags are scratched into windows (usually), mostly of public transportation vehicles and street furniture. This phenomenon has apparently begun in the early 1990s. In Germany, scratching is especially prevalent in Berlin, Munich and the whole Ruhr-Area where literally no public transportation train car is without scratched windows, despite traffic companies spending 12 million € on repairing and exchanging scratched windows in 2005 alone. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, numerous visitors complained about the scratched windows." -wikipedia done with a much finer needle :DThis is a clone of FS Scratch me if you can
