I wonder why the name of this family was changed from "car literate" to "car illiterate"…

Fantastic work! And the black background in the sample makes the letters vibrate as if they were neon.

initially, it was called "self-literate" ("auto" referring here to "self" — as in "autodidact"). "autogramot" was supposed to be a neologism substituting the word "autodidact". btw. i called (out of fun) another font "motodidact" to suggest the pursuit of knowledge as if "riding a motorcycle" (as opposed to riding a less flexible "car"). thus "autogramot" bears the spirit of a self-taught entity that has risen nearly out of nothing (in this case, out of a very limited set of simplest hatchings — viz AA pic/comment). then, however, i found out "autogramot" means in Hungarian "autograph". and because i prefer to use as names of my fonts yet non-existent words (and because the meaning "autograph" was misleading) i changed it to "autonegramot" (self-illiterate). since then, this family suggests not only the importance of educating oneself (becoming self-taught) but also (simultaneously) de-educating oneself (becoming ignorant of the bullshit). hopefully, it all makes sense?!

i am glad about the neon, stress point, cross-stitch vibes. btw. in Prague, there is a Technical Library with floor design derived from the visuals of the distribution of floor stress, so i might try to become a "stress point typography" specialist!

Interesting concepts, especially the loor design derived from the visuals of the distribution of floor stress...
