This is an old font of mine. Wow, it's more than a year old. Yeah I thought I'd share it with you. I'll make some extended latin and such now.

Incredible bitmap variation on the very hard to read (for a non germanic) old "Rundkopf" german langage. I always thought this archaic german had a strong alien feel, you prove it in this strange anachronic futuristic derivation, making it very C-Munkish. Your creativity power always amazes me.

I cant read all the uppercase letters. But still this one is good looking.

@C-Munk : Sorry i wanted to say "Rudelskopf". You should be interested in seeing the font "Rudelskopf Deutsch" by designer Peter Wiegel, you can find it at Dafont.com. Yours is obviously different, but you'll admit there are some similarities with many of your shapes.

@neurone error: Thank you! I didn't know of 'Rudelskopf', although I have seen a bit on Spitzschrift, the German handwriting standard.

@naveenchandru: Thank you! When you say you can't read it, is it because it's blackletter, or because of the blockyness.

@meek: Thank you very much.

@malavika: I honestly don't know either. I've just always been fond of typography. Ooh, a challenge. Well, I have done some handwriting fonts, but I've never done a Spitzschrift font. I ought to and I will. Wait and see ;)
