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.

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.

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.
