Connected Script Competition Results
Last month, when we challenged you to emulate handwritten scripts using only the grid and bricks of FontStruct, it could be argued that we contradicted the very nature of modular type. But we’ve learned through experience — and four other competitions — that this tool is limited only by the imagination of our FontStructors. As we expected, many of you rose to this difficult challenge. It was tricky for the judges, Rob Meek and myself, to pick winners from the 56 entries, many of which were quite innovative, original, and appealing. But after comparing notes (and a bit of cheerleading here and there) we agreed on three clear champions in the Connected Script Competition.
And the winners are…
Competition: Connected Script
The FontStruct community has proven that its members can breathe life into the grid, make the organic from the static, and push modularity to its creative limits. That’s why we have no qualms in assigning you with a formidable challenge for the next FontStruct competition: scripts!
Stretching the grid: FontStruct is Five
Five years ago on April 1st, 2008 FontShop launched FontStruct.
Since then we’ve had almost 800,000 confirmed registrations and more then 650,000 FontStructions have been created.
Every day, designers use FontStruct to create new work, or as a resource for finding grid-based, modular fonts. FontStructions are in widespread use in projects all over the world. We’re also especially happy to have seen FontStruct emerge as a widely-used tool in typographic education.
Over the past five years, cautiously but steadily, new features have been added to FontStruct and we intend to continue with this development in the five years to come. To celebrate our birthday looking forward, we wanted to launch a new feature today.

Skål för bokstavskonsten!
Ingrid Svenssons och Geith Forsbergs samtal i nya numret av Biblis har fått en adekvat rubrik. De höjda glasen avser närmare bestämt Karl-Erik Forsberg, som skulle ha fyllt hundra år nu. Det ska firas på Berlingdagen den 15 maj, denna gång i Uppsala UB.
