Description:
This font was created around the theme of repetition, it was inspired by Art Deco design and how repetition and pattern aren't just pointless ornaments but fundamental to the structure of the font. I have been able to reach this stage after 5 weeks of continuous development, sketching and experimentation which I focused around trying to create a bridge between 2D and 3D fonts. Built up of a single repeated component this font is not suitable or made for large amounts of text, but instead has been created to highlight the strength and complexity of each individual letter. http://oliver-james-town.blogspot.co.uk

Cool! But, I rated it 6.8 stars because it's incomplete. Sorry, mate!

You have the beginnings of a really great design here - one that is well worth further work.

Thank you all! Do any of you have any suggestions for improvement? Im creating the font as part of my first year degree at UWE and so any comments would really be useful!

I see you’ve already been improving the legibility of certain glyphs since you first published this. Good job on the improvements. Have you tried anything like these for the Y? Or you could try flipping horizontally what you’ve got.
