I started by experimenting with the things that immediately spring to mind when you think of decay; crumbling walls, rotting vegetables, peeling paint... 
Then I found the definition of decay in physics 'transformation of an elementary particle into two or more different particles.' and biological decay 'to break down into component parts.' After experimenting with different ways of breaking up a typeface, I came up with this. A sort of abstract representation of scientific decay.
To create the long, thin diagonal lines, I had to do it on a huge scale, filling almost 3 'screens' in height with each letter. Sadly this meant it's impossible to download the font. E F G O and Q still need a bit of work as they stand out to much.

The design draws from a multitude of influences. Specifically I was inspired by: mathematics, Japanese space-rock, the movie MOON (directed by David Bowie's kid), and the Funk King's wonderful molecular work here on FontStruct.

The principle building block for the design is an obtuse angle segment that's cloned, reflected, and rotated to create an entire letter. Mapping the technique to the whole typeface was a challenge and there are some compromises (see D and U). As is frequently the case with these strict modular exercises the T is the stand out ugly duckling.Prog%20is%20a%20condensed%2C%20geometric%2C%20modular%20display%20typeface%20with%20a%20contemporary%20sci-fi%20aesthetic.%20The%20design%20draws%20from%20a%20multitude%20of%20influences.%20Specifically%20I%20was%20inspired%20by%3A%20mathematics%2C%20Japanese%20space-rock%2C%20the%20movie%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonypictures.com%2Fclassics%2Fmoon%2F%22%3EMOON%3C%2Fa%3E%20%28directed%20by%20David%20Bowie%27s%20kid%29%2C%20and%20the%20Funk%20King%27s%20wonderful%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructors%2Ffunk_king%2Fpublic%2Ftags%2FMolecular%22%3Emolecular%3C%2Fa%3E%20work%20here%20on%20FontStruct.%0D%0A%3Cbr%20%2F%3E%3Cbr%20%2F%3E%0D%0AThe%20principle%20building%20block%20for%20the%20design%20is%20an%20obtuse%20angle%20segment%20that%27s%20cloned%2C%20reflected%2C%20and%20rotated%20to%20create%20an%20entire%20letter.%20Mapping%20the%20technique%20to%20the%20whole%20typeface%20was%20a%20challenge%20and%20there%20are%20some%20compromises%20%28see%20D%20and%20U%29.%20As%20is%20frequently%20the%20case%20with%20these%20strict%20modular%20exercises%20the%20T%20is%20the%20stand%20out%20ugly%20duckling.
