I was given feedback that the capitals were too wide in the original Kimura. Rather than replacing them in the font, I've made a new version nice and quickly so you can decide for yourself. Or have both, even. I would like that.

The typeface of the future...now!

I was inspired by older wide futuristic faces like China and Korataki.

Inspired by the many fonts of Fontalicious

Here is a gift to the community.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a collection with parts and bits for small grid designs, (5x5 max) Each related to the assembly of smooth and almost Bezier-curve like shape and round letterforms. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As some of you might very well know, one of FontStruct's holy grail is custom circular and curved forms. I'm talking about those not simply build with off-the-shelf bricks from the standard brick pallet FontStruct is providing.

Making these can be a very difficult process. Since the bricks in the default pallet are a far cry from what is truly possible with some clever use of FontStruct's editor features. Although obviously there remain serious limitations when it comes down to making different curves and round forms, there still is a lot room available to work in.
Most of the seasoned users know and utilize this very well, but, as with each of us, it took time and dedication in order to learn the tricks of the trade!

With a little knowledge, clever thinking and a healthy dose of outside the box thinking one can still get a lot out of FontStruct.

This font is meant to serve as a helping hand and inspirational / educative tool. Providing some insight into making numerous curving and rounded forms, various transitions, achieving different weight contrasts, and how all the various building blocks were aligned in order to make the various parts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most important features used for this process are:
Brick Size filter: Must be changed to a 2x2 value in order to use the elements in this font.
All functions found in the "Modify" menu: Flip rotation and nudge are used to make alignments and to fill up the gaps.
Make composite: (also found in the Modify menu) This function will mainly be used to do two tasks, resize, modify/distort brick shape,
placement and orientation of bricks within the brick grid square for the required given composite.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The font itself contains a collection of different premade elements divided into 3 main groups that I will list bellow. And can be found in the uppercase, lowercase and numerals sections.

[Uppercase]  Various pre-assembled variations of the letter O, to demonstrate different variations for a round letterform. These were sub-divided and grouped according to their relative height!
[Lowercase] "Copy & Paste"-ready isolated parts 'n bits (curve segments, terminals) aimed at re-constructing and use in your own projects
[Numerals] Various random examples of letters that have curved/round features implemented in some way.

A fonts height probably is the most dictating parameter in type design in terms of behavior and appearance. Therefor, with the collection of pre-build vatiations of the letter "O", I choose its relative height to further sub-divide them in, rather than weight, since these are already completed letterforms. This makes up for the easiest access to a "drag/drop" adaptation into one's own project and build a full font based upon it, mainly for those that come with only limited experience.

This tool is to make one's FontStuct experience a little easier or to save time. So feel free to clone it and use the content however you like.
Re-use any of the provided elements, copy/paste the letter examples into your own fonts, deconstruct and re-use the various parts. Or simply just take a peek under the hood to see how they were build, This can be done via the "Menu>View>'Outline' " function.

There are no restrictions to how the content is used.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More additional curve variations and different related other elements will be added soon. I have to select them from my various random works and this takes some time. Please stick with me on this one.

The intent is to try keeping this a ongoing project, so hopefully many more updates will follow and eventually turn this into a "all-in-one" tool for small grid designs. So far I also have plans for including a collection with different serif style, but this is something for a future update as well!

For now, curvatures it is!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that, all content and forms in this font were created by myself and were gather from the various projects I have made, most came from published works, but some were taken from private material as well. We all here work with the same tool + limited brick set, so I am pretty sure certain elements in here were done exactly the same way by other users. Please don't accuse me of using others or your material without approval, this is just a case of unfortunate coincidence.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Usage]

The elements are best used by way of copying them from this into your personal projects, and work with it from there! This because the "My Bricks" pallet in this font is messy, probably very uncomfortable to work with as is. Copy & pasting them into your own font re-arranges the selected brick set for that segment into your own font's "My Bricks" pallet, making it much easier to get sense of its individual bricks.

Another very important thing is, I strongly advice not to nudge any of these what so ever, unless investigated its composition first. And I cannot rephrase this enough, seriously, never, or brace yourself for absolute dire results!
This due to the numerous counter-rotated or different directions of nudged 'into place' elements that make up a complete segment.

There are some elements included that at first seems to be looking like doubles, with onother one looking exactly the same. This is right, but these are constructed using different configurations of bricks. The reason for this is to provide alternative configurations for them. Some scenario's can make one approach to be working just fine, and the other simple not. This all hangs in strong correlation with the current nearby configuration of bricks, and simply depends on the whatever spot still remains unused in the surrounding grid. Since available grid locations to start working from are usually very limited. Its like this, Taller and/or wider letterforms meaning more available space to work from and place your bricks, but the smaller you go, the more scarce space becomes, simple as that.

So best is to use and work with this tool on a copy of your current glyph to verify no bricks will be raplaced and ruin the current glyps, and only to replace the original glyph once you're absolutely sure everything worked out well together.

If something else isn't clear or if you have any questions in regard to this tool, feel free to ask those in the comment section bellow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One final thing, beware that some of this elements can possibly influence the font vertical metrics (font size and leading/vertical spacing) and create addition extra line spacing. As well as the letter width. So be sure to allways double check those two when u use any of this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS: My apologies for the "too much" of a explanation above, lol.

Happy structing,

cheers

will make it fancier when i find resources on how to make custom bricks that aren't stacking already existing ones.

Today on "I should've left this in the drafts"

Oh well.

"Might add Latin Extended A later."
-Past Maxi

So yeah, I did it.

I really liked my last slab serif font, and so I decided to make another one. This time, we've put the file on it and rounded the corners.

I've moved from Russia to Germany, here. We have a classic, 70s inspired design, which could still be a futuristic-looking one in the right lights.

Irix was inspired by a font I lost track of, so I wound-up doing something else.

Look also at Cilimjo as the bold and decorative variant of this font.

Modern geometric sans-serif design, This is a updated version of the previously published STF_PIPER ALPHA. This version includes support for lowercase and all the other charaters are double checked plus modified where needed.

Enjoy!

A bold typeface.

Look also at Cilimja as the thin variant of this font

Serif design with some accents

Chunky Bubbles is a chunky, bubbly typeface that is used for headlines or anything you want to be big. 

60's - 70's intergallactic television shows were the inspiration for this font, while it originated as a simple Arial Bold font. Stretched and squeezed through space and time itself, this typeface is sure to have geeks and nerds alike on the edge of their seats and begging for more. 

Old style typeface, rounded end, can be used for commercial catalogs.

This font is majoritively made up of rounded edges, save for a few sharp edges to add definition to certain characters. Made with simplicity in mind.

I wanted to try making something new, so this is what I came up with. Hope you guys like it :)

Future Retro is a geometric typeface that has an implied roundness. The shape and contrast within each letter invokes a retro and a futuristic feeling at the same time. Future Retro is a sans serif display typeface with clear readability. Future Retro is great for large scale type in posters, signage, merchandise, headlines, titles, etc.

Limea is my thin font interpretation with clear and simple structures

This version has the 'soft' alternates.  These are the lowercase characters in 'Tirrel'.  The idea is that if someone is used to using the shift key and only wants the softer style of the font, they can use this version and they will only get all the caps versions of Tirrel whether they use shift or caps lock (or not).

Categories: Monospaced Sans/Stencil.
Types: White Space, Striped, Display Caps, Logotype, & Novelty.
Weight: Bold.
Web font: Yeah, sure.

I made another font, just like everyone on this website. I learned about the composite tool and used it a few times in this font. I hope you can use this font.

Tirrel font is Copyright 2019 Doug Peters.

This is the original version of Tirrel.  Although a display caps font, the uppercase has a hard, bold, brash version of capitals while the lowercase holds the 'softer' alternates with more defined characters.  If you only want one or the other and have the habit of using shift (or caps lock), there should be two other versions of this font accompanying it, one "Tirrel Hard" and the other Tirrel Soft" to relieve frustration of those who type well.

Wanted to make something squarish and rounded, not too pointy.
