This is another of those cutesy fonts that I made in under ten minutes. I spotted something similar on an advertisement and wanted to make a real font out of it, but I guess that UC wasn't really suited for this font.

♫stens♫


This is a dogtag-style negative stencil. This didn't take very long to make but it looks quite cool, especially in a graphic.

♫stdrd♫


This was inspired by Upixel's Mobivus, which was a condensed legible sans-serif. I think that this is the best of all my sans-serif FontStructions and is actually a really useful font that I can incorporate into projects. Were I to make a light version I could probably use this as my standard alternative to Arial, or perhaps I'd have to change some of the letterforms that normally have diagonals like A, K and V.

♫kawai♫


A different interpretation on a similar theme. It is very conceptualistic and actually looks good in medium-small sizes.

♫reimu\mrisa♫



A simple blackletter, after flipping some bricks, becomes a futuristic geometric. The blackletter is very straight and doesn't have flimsy connections, and was the first font I actually hand-drafted. :D

♫r3vrs♫


This is a clean legible font for easy reading. This was based off some of the letterforms of beate's db Sticker which I expanded into a set of related shapes two stylistic alternate sets. I need to get around to doing the alternate LCs as I promised will. This is good at small sizes.

♫ambdx♫


I have to say that this is my proudest work ever. It took me ages to do this but it was a good stress reliever especially during the period of my EOYs. Other than the fact that this is based on my own handwriting, I think this font is also very useable in text, as evident from the sample. I may need to complete the rest of Basic Latin soon, but for now it has all the letters and punctuation I'll probably need for a long time. <3

♫urban♫


This is a very smooth font that looks very typical and cutesy. I just needed somthing quick to relieve my boredom, I guess.

♫dsfnt♫


A thick font from only two bricks. Boldened on the bottom and right edges. This was done very quickly and doesn't really look very nice.

♫girls♫


This is a font created from the SNSD logo and posters used as promo media for their mini album "Tell Me Your Wish". I think it looks very close. Someday I will have to upload a comparative picture.

♫sztud♫


Inspired by the SUTD logo design. This is a space-filler font and looks kinda mazey and cool, but I think its legibility is quite low. This would be perfect for a logo.

This font is really one that I am proud of. It is my second serif font but looks a lot better and is much stronger. The connections are no longer flimsy and weak, and the odd descender in the caps is a much needed break from some boring normal serif font. I really love how this came out and I think I will need to continue finishing hte More Latin space someday. By the way, the name stems from the fact that the serif terminals on C and S etcetera reminded me of a toucan's beak. Hmmm.

♫satir♫


A scriptive blackletter that looks moderately okay but is difficult to read especially in bulk.

♫twynn♫



A single font with two weights. This proves to be a tricky one for FS, but the regular forme turns out really nice especially if you use a capital to start a word and LC for the rest of the word. The open forme is sort of exploded. It is a tribute to neurone error's style of remixing other FSers' fonts. The caps is like a dot matrix, while the LC is a psychadelic rotating mash up of strange bricks.

♫sirkl♫


A curve tribute I conjured a long time ago. Nothing much worth to look at.

♫crwel♫


Based on Wim Crowel's New Alphabet. This is a remix and uses small curves instead of angular corners.

♫inner♫


This is the experiment referred to in the previous post. I found something similar on a baby clothing shop in Marina Square with negative small letters inside caps, and I expanded this on FS. I found that the brain spots the smaller negative letters first before even making an attempt to read the big letters. Due to the limitations of composition and brick stacking, the smaller letters may look kinda strange, but it doesn't really matter for me. The sample really shows the contrast between the big and small letters.

♫phatt♫


This is a real thick and heavy fat face which I used in an experiment on letterform. It looks good on its own though.

♫rnd0m♫


This was an exercise in quasi-randomness in FS. At small sizes, it looks sorta grungey and dirty, and at big sizes it is still mysteriously legible. I think the sample is one of my nicer ones. Oh, also, this is my very first TP! :)

♫serif♫


My very first serif font. This shows how little I had grasped the universe of FS at that time. The serifs are very primitive and many of the letters look horrible at small sizes. Still, I completed a great number of glyphs here, which is already quite an achievement for me. The letters Q and S/Z are really cool in my opinion.

♫arbix\daxeh♫



I put these two fonts together because they don't even deserve their own posts. Seriously, these are horrible.

♫djeom♫


A nicely done slab serif much like those you see on college jackets. I do think that some of the letters like A, V and X can be improved were I to scale up the whole font, but I'm lazy to do that now :D.

♫koeng♫


Another replication, this time of Kongstrukt, a geometric minimalst. I kept quite true to the original, other than the 's' which couldn't be helped because of the lack of brick shapes. Not much creativity in this.

♫skwar♫



Again, a pair of fonts much like arcbk. This is a short and stout font, inspired by the logo of a condominium called urbanedge. Exaggerated ascenders and descenders make up a wholly unusable font other than for logos and titles.

♫theov♫


I was actually quite happy that somebody voted 1 for my reconstruction of Architype Van Doesburg because I dislike it myself. I have no idea what motivated me to do this other than that it was easy to make on FS.

♫strux♫


A decorated pixel font. Not very impressive, just a simple exercise.

♫metri♫


A geometric minimalist. Handle with care.

♫pixal♫


My first (and only) pixel font. It is 7x7 and has Latin + Greek. Not much to say here.

♫psych♫


This was based on Moon Star Soul, but adapted for FS, such as removing the curves. I think this looks quite nice and retro.

♫kyrst♫


A straight font that doesn't look that bad in retrospect. It was the stage where I had begun to appreciate the differences between various glyphs, and make clean fonts.

♫kurvh♫


The first font I ever published on FS. It is a bleeding font made out of circles. The only difficulty is the asymmetrical T but it couldn't be helped, because there is only one flavour of half-circle.

♫outln♫



Another pair of fonts. The regular forme is a strict font using only vertical, horizontal and 45-degree diagonals, while the shady forme is sort of a more striking and black font.

♫arcbk♫



A pair of nice clean fonts using the then new macaroni bricks. The regular forme is for easy reading, while the open forme is for a more deco look. Nothing much to comment, other than that they would have looked better were they proportional fonts.

♫bletr♫


This looks much more professional, but because it was done on a much larger scale. Still monospace, but it envelops some of the traditional typewriter-esque angularity whilst looking very techno.

♫bloks♫


A straight futuristic blocky. Again, only standard bricks were used, thus the horrid X width. I think this turned out much better than cornr.

♫zilch♫


My first non-newb font. The uppercase is a clear blocky, whereas the lowercase is a minimalistic 2x2. This makes the UC stand out in a block of text. I still work with standard bricks on this, but at least it doesn't look that fail.

♫cyrth♫



Another beginner's work, this is based of Tolkien's runic alphabet Cirth created for his LotR trilogy. Since I was an FS noob at that time, this shows very little angular compromising and is really rough. Meh.

♫cornr♫


This is the first font I constructed on FS, but not the first released though. It is based off a previous pixel font exercise I did offline in MS Paint and realized through FS. Monospace and monoheight. Being a beginner's work, this font is really horrible. Don't even bother.
