3 downloads3%20downloads366 glyphs66%20glyphs66Altered sound is an abstract display font.
It has been designed based around the theme 'loud' with inspiration taken from musical notes and old school hand drawings. Its mainly a top heavy font and has a distinctive retro look to it. There is high contrast between the top block areas and the thinned out parts of each letter. There are also very unique qualities, such as the diagonal and horizontal lines that run through some letters.
This font would suit an old gangster film poster or maybe and retro comic book.Altered%20sound%20is%20an%20abstract%20display%20font.%0D%0AIt%20has%20been%20designed%20based%20around%20the%20theme%20%27loud%27%20with%20inspiration%20taken%20from%20musical%20notes%20and%20old%20school%20hand%20drawings.%20Its%20mainly%20a%20top%20heavy%20font%20and%20has%20a%20distinctive%20retro%20look%20to%20it.%20There%20is%20high%20contrast%20between%20the%20top%20block%20areas%20and%20the%20thinned%20out%20parts%20of%20each%20letter.%20There%20are%20also%20very%20unique%20qualities%2C%20such%20as%20the%20diagonal%20and%20horizontal%20lines%20that%20run%20through%20some%20letters.%0D%0AThis%20font%20would%20suit%20an%20old%20gangster%20film%20poster%20or%20maybe%20and%20retro%20comic%20book.

The end result is a highly readable typeface — even at smaller sizes — comprised entirely of straight lines. While the astronomical definition talks about alignment, the word “syzygy” more broadly means “the union of disparate or opposing object, ideas or concepts”. Thus, the name “syzygy” is meant to reference the merger between old-style letters and a modern, computer-driven design tool — truly a meeting of opposites.Syzygy%20was%20an%20attempt%20to%20create%20a%20typeface%20of%20old%20style%20characters%20with%20a%20high%20contrast%20between%20thicks%20%26%20thins%20and%20attractive%20curves%2C%20despite%20the%20inherent%20limitations%20of%20fonstruct%E2%80%99s%20available%20blocks.%20The%20end%20result%20is%20a%20highly%20readable%20typeface%20%E2%80%94%20even%20at%20smaller%20sizes%20%E2%80%94%20comprised%20entirely%20of%20straight%20lines.%20While%20the%20astronomical%20definition%20talks%20about%20alignment%2C%20the%20word%20%E2%80%9Csyzygy%E2%80%9D%20more%20broadly%20means%20%E2%80%9Cthe%20union%20of%20disparate%20or%20opposing%20object%2C%20ideas%20or%20concepts%E2%80%9D.%20Thus%2C%20the%20name%20%E2%80%9Csyzygy%E2%80%9D%20is%20meant%20to%20reference%20the%20merger%20between%20old-style%20letters%20and%20a%20modern%2C%20computer-driven%20design%20tool%20%E2%80%94%20truly%20a%20meeting%20of%20opposites.

Because it should be shipwrecked on a deserted island. That's where I planned to leave it in private (and you're probably thinking that's where I should have left it). Check the creation date - it's been stranded for a while. 

This is the first in a set of text face experiments, and it reveals the beginnings of an evolution of high contrast fontstructing over a minimized grid space.  Not all glyphs are how I wanted them to be. Some may be hideous. The spacing is terrible. But as a fontstruction, this one really got me to push the bricks to develop some resemblance of a Times Romanesque sharp serif typeface. Many, many tricks had to come in to play to make this happen at its current state. Overlapping bricks, brick stacking, overlapping brick stacking. It's all in there. I learned a lot from this insane attempt just from the lowercase letter forms alone. I mean, just look at that g! Try it at your own risk. 6x8 grid space, Double XY. 

But don't worry, this is as bad as it gets. It does get better from here, but only a little bit, so don't get your hopes up.
