I was wondering how it can be redesigned to convey legibility issues, this is a great type, very rational. But the main purpose of it has dissapeared, now we have LCD and plasma screens, I supose Wim would wouldn't matter.
Great work.

@coffee I tried dealing with that legibility issue with Pentagrid Alphabet: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1699
I could still see some hypothetical uses for this, but I've always just loved the idea of totally re-imagining the alphabet to fit the needs of a certain medium.

Have you asked Win Crouwel before doing a derivative work of his design? If not, I think it is very unethical to distribute a font that mimic the original font.
