@plumguy_1764338 Thank you, glad you like it. Looks awesome!
@SagarMalaviy_1023608 looks awesome!
We are doing a Black&White themed blockparty. These make for some nice decorations. I like the idea. One thing though, why not flip the letter T upside down, it would print fine..
@PepijnvanVliet The idea was to create a font with all letters right side up to make it easy to incorporate it into other designs that wouldn't allow you to flip the letters and print them flat. For example if you want to make a text centered on a baseplate.
@goodjobswe ah thank you i get it now.
problem with Q: the tail has too small of a bottom surface to adhere. (edited)

crap. now I have 2 jokes to laugh about. XD
@spool2kool actually, its not a script font technically. so "Unsupported" is a better name. and coincidentally even funnier! (as in an unsupported font) (edited)
Lol can't you just rotate it 90 degrees to lay flat on the build plate and have no problems with any font?
@JohnLattanzio_387784 It depends on what you are making, it's for those cases when the rest of your design need letters in this orientation.
"The Typeface Designed for the Third Dimension" is such a a cool name for this!
@Cristobal5050 Thank you! Glad you like it.
Cool idea, it reminds me of germanic Futhark runes.
@Alex_and_Tonic Thank you! Yes it got that Norse vibe 🙂
These are great and I agree they have a nordic / valheim feel to them!
Any thoughts on using the extra dimension to change how you're avoiding bridges? It would probably end up with a very different style, and not be compatible with a standard font, but just as an example here are two other (somewhat strange) ways you could have also avoided bridges with the T character.
@MichaelP Thanks! I like your suggestion but it would have to be made as an extra step after extruding the characters. Your first suggestion really helps defining the T.
I really appreciate having the actual font file so I can make other items without needing to import the STL files, but having the STLs ready to go are also handy.
@MallocArray I have to spend some more hours kerning but it is a good start 👍
This looks amazing!
I'm totally going to use this at some point.
I don't know how hard this would be but, would you consider making it into an actual 2D font as well?

@goodjobswe Oh didn't see that. Awesome!
@GalacticViper_14853 Also let me know if you need another font format and I can export that as well
