TrueType Freeware Font 'Furthyle'

================================







(Originally a clone of 'fs switch'.)





I really liked opipik's 'fs switch' font (obviously) and it taught Me a few lessons in using filters in the FonStructor.



I really liked the style, especially of some of the characters in particular, but I wanted to carry it through a little farther, a bit more extreme. Plus, there were only the basic 52 upper and lower case characters, with an alternative z and o (54 characters total). I liked it and thought it should be completed.



Please note that I think that opipik did a great job on the original fs switch, I simply saw an opportunity for a certain style based on his and I am thankful he allowed us all to share in his creation allowing for modifications to the font as well as unrestricted use.



The resulting font is called 'Furthyle'.



It's kind of fun to play with a little font as a break from working on those really big ones, too. I think I did modify every single letter, except for the alternate o & z, in order to exaggerate the style I liked in some of the characters in 'fs switch'.



Thanks to opipik for sharing it, obviously it will remain a cloneable, editable & freeware font. Feel free to modify it yourself, as well to port it to other formats, systems and platforms. Just note our work with your own work



The more I work with this, the more I think I may have seen it before, so I apologize if it's not really new, but I have searched and didn't see one quite the same style (not completely).
