Description:
The Tech house numbers were designed for DWR and made out of stainless steel. They have no diagonals, just semi-circles and straight lines. This alphabet is the attempt to extend this construction principle to a complete (well: caps only) alphabet that you could easily cut from metal. And - like any principle that doesn’t come from writing – it doesn’t really work. But was fun making.

Here's a link to Erik Spiekermann's house numbers, from which he based this FontStruction.
