Pixle Pudge




What do you know, last time I was a day early, this time, a day late. I guess it all even's out in the wash. I have been pretty busy recently contributing to the video game Nova Fleet that I have been developing with a couple of buddies (http://devklick.blogspot.com/), and subsequently didn't do an amazing job of managing time, so now I'll have to double duty this week to make sure I get the next typeface done on time.

Anyway, I've dubbed this bad boy PIXEL PUDGE. It's a lot of fat heads and pixle-esque divisions. Tell me what you think...even if you think it sucks. I can take a crit! Thanks for following my adventures in Typography, and I'll be more timely come this week.

Globall


Got this boy up a little early this week, but it looks like a busy weekend, so I'm trying to make good use of my time today. I came up with this font while messing around with some possible logo ideas for a potential client. Any way, it went really quickly, which was a relief after the outline nightmare that was Franken Furters. (Last weeks post.) As the title suggests, I'm calling it 'globall'. What are your thoughts?

Thanks to everyone who is following, and I certainly welcome comments and suggestions.

Franken Furters (Typeface 2)


Hey Guys and Gals, what's the bit-ness? This is week two of my weekly typeface additions. I call this week's A-Z's 'Franken Furters' since it's round cylinderous shapes look like hot dogs to me. I have to tell you, making a font that has rounded edges and outlines like this was increadibly difficult to get near-perfect. I doubt I'll tackle another like it in the near-future. The 'N' was the first letter I finished and by far the most difficult to make in the series. I just couldn't wrap my head around how to make its outline. After sleeping on the problem and looking at it with a freash mind, I was able to slowly but surely make headway on it's creation. All the non bend-ie letters were a piece of cake outside of N. The Bend-ie letters were expectedly more difficult, but not nearly as much so as the N. Anyway, I hope you enjoy what you see, but either way, tell me what you think. Thanks for following and 2's!

Font 1: Snare Minimum

So quick intro, I am making a new font every week until I feel I've made a healthy collection of new typefaces to work with. This weeks installment I refer to as 'Snare Minimum'. I welcome your comments and critiques.
