The Letter D.

TLD / Font Duplex 2010 / 01.02.2010

Constructed using the full range of ‘bricks’ available in FontStruct, Font Duplex is a typographic experiment in legibility – as we restricted each character to only two bricks.

TLD / Font Space 2009 / 06.06.2009

While creating the full signage suite for Lightspace a block typeface presented itself within the exposed blockwork walls onsite, which we’ve used as a bold contrast to the tubular identity, drawn in Font Route.

Using FontStruct‘s engine Font Theo Fine‘s upper-case was altered, bevelling the corners of each block, with various symbols revised and the toilet pictograms added.

The typeface has so far been used on the Lightspace website and various collateral.

DOR / Favicon Typeface / 30.05.2009

While creating the small 16 x 16 pixel favicon ‘D’ for Doree Mending‘s website we decided to have a bit of fun and build all five letters of the script-based logotype, at this scale, to see if their identity could remain intact…

TLD / Font Pixel family grows / 17.04.2009

The whole Font Pixel family came together over the Easter break, with a bold weight, small caps, oblique (italics) and a set of old-style (non-lining) numerals added – and to top it all off, the team at FontStruct have given it ‘Top Pick’ status…

As Trade Gothic (the typeface Font Pixel was based on) lacks a true italic, an oblique version was created, which was heavily influenced by Unibody Italic from Underware – who mastered the illusion of incline using vertically stacked pixels.

TLD / Font Airport on FontStruct / 19.11.2008

After numerous requests, which we thank all for their interest and persist… sorry patience, we have finally been able to compile Font Airport using FontStruct‘s tools.

The upper and lower cases overlap to enable the full matrix to take shape in two tones, for those who are inclined to give it a whirl.

TLD / Font Airport 2004 / 17.11.2008

Whilst waiting in airport lounges listening to second hand music from the person’s iPod in the seat beside me, I found something to pass the time…

Font Airport is an interpretation of the information displays found in, well airports, and by maintaining a set matrix, a few oddities emerge. I like to call these nuances as they give the font a distinguishing character – some may call them mistakes but they should see Picasso’s portraits.

TLD / Font Pixel 2002 / 19.07.2008

This adaptation of Trade Gothic was created by shrinking the original font to a single pixel stroke width and then rebuilding it pixel by pixel to be suitable for small applications on screen.

TLD / FontStruct / 15.07.2008

Apart from the odd dabble, we never really got around to digitising the typefaces shown on the old website…

Now there’s an online application that turns it into child’s play – so that’s what we did. The fruits of our labour are now available on FontStruct. Big thanks to Rob Meek.

TLD / Font Theo Fine 2005 / 09.07.2008

Whilst working on various projects for Fine Print I noticed the letter ‘c’ forming in the negative space of the reversed ‘F’. This spawned a support typeface for promotional applications.
