These fontstructions come resurrected thanks to Aphoria's trick of editing on a full screen with keyboard shortcuts in Firefox. Originally inspired by Funk King back when everyone was releasing 3D fontstructions. I gave up because it was too much of a hassle to scroll up and down to edit a full glyph. Now, not so much. Frodo7's Sierpinski series has also given me new ideas for rendering alternate letter forms. Can you see what I'm talking about?

Though you did not mention, Hyperlynk is a clear reference to M.C. Escher's Cubic Space Division, 1952. And how splendid! 10/10

I would have given up after the a! This is a tremendously dizzy architectural font, congrats. The eye can explore the interlace ad infinitum. But didn't you forget to blacken the central cube of the z ?

@Frodo: Thanks for the source. I forgot where it came from after all this time.

@elmoyenique, @afrojet, @thalamic: Thanks for the generosity!

@igorrossi: After the initial background pattern was established, the rest was pretty easy. I didn't forget to blacken the Z. Z is a rebel. Z was always complaining that I was trying to take away his individuality, talking about how he's a non-conformist and isn't about to look like everyone else just because its the "in" thing to do. He'll do anything to stand out. But I'll see if he can change his ways.
