I like the letter shapes.

Thanks for all the early feedback everyone! The caps are a work in progress. If the world doesn't actually end, I'll get right back on them soon.

INCREDIBLE! This must have been pretty much brain teasing to complete it ! I'm in awe.

Comment by Neurone Experiments 28th december 2012

I remember a joke about apocalipsis, which says that it was we, kazakhs, who invented this word. "Apa kelipsiz", which sounds like apocalipsis, means: "Oh, grandmother, you've come!" in kazakh :)
Anyway, an incredible result!
10/10!

Comment by Abneurone Fluid Types 29th december 2012

Thanks for the comments everyone!
@architaraz… thanks for relating that reference! Especially funny/fitting if you had met my grandmother.
@Abneurone… Thanks, and I wasn't familiar with that other FS… but, it's great to see another variation on a similar idea, and the fearlessness in regard to "legibility"… something I know you know all about! I was really trying to strike a balance here between "that's cool" and "screw it, I can't read a damn thing."

Comment by fugitiveglue 31st december 2012

My poor grammy is dead, but i'm glad u finshed the caps :)
Surprisingly legible.

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 31st december 2012

@fugitiveglue : i know most people don't think so but this "balance" between legibility and innovative shapes is crucial in my work and that explained why most of my fonts needed so much time, work, and redesigning phases to find their way.
By the way, you wrote recently that you have made a career in typography... Have you a "vector software" activity ? Is it visible on the Net ?
