Details

Description:
A modular font destined to be built with Fontstructor. However, it is a remake of my preexisting design with some refinement. It is based on Fundin/Fundin Eco with minor alterations. (Coccinella is the common ladybird with red hardened forewings punctuated by black spots.)

So that's where all the dots from Fundin Eco ended up :)

On a press conference the Reporter: Is it true that President Putin have got an SUV from Barack Obama?
Spokesman: Yes, the rumors can be confirmed with some minor corrections: First, it was not Putin but Sergey; then, it wasn't from Obama, but from Olga; and last, he's got not an SUV, but STD.

There's an optical illusion at work here, making the shape seem to bulge out. Neat.

@thalamic: Actually, there are at least three different optical illusions in this font. The one you've mentioned, most obvious with @,C,E,G,O. You can also see grey squares around the black dots. An finally, there is a yellowish haze around the letters, though the background is plain white. They are all results of the peculiar way of how our brain processes visual input.

This font is much more than It seems on the surface, and I can tell that it had a lot of work done to make it, from a hardworking font maker. Beautiful illusion, and I keep on typing out more and more things hoping to get another effect from this font.

Really multi-dimensional.
