Description:
By researching the meaning of chaos, I came across the chaos theory, which describes the movement of unpredictability. My font is based on a diagram that explains the movement of chaotic systems. The design of the typeface is based upon helvetica, a clearly legible font over which i added the circular movement seen from the diagram. My typeface has an element of fun and could be used to promote a relaxing product or experience by using a contrasting idea; chaos. It could also be used to promote electronic music; record labels, album covers, in particular rave or club nights. This typeface literally causes havoc with your systems; for a more usable, bolder version try Tangle.

I really like this, it has a quirky edge to it. It's completely random, yet is also very usable. Excellent work.

Only thing I'd do is increase the SPACE key. Using Advanced >> View >> Letter Width, then adjust to taste (usually around half a letter width)

Wow... I love the pointillist effect. The most interesting part for me though, is that it doesn't follow any rules. Most fonts have a formula that they follow, but this one doesn't; true chaos.
