A modular font destined to be built with Fontstructor. However, it is a remake of my preexisting design with some refinement. It is based on Fundin/Fundin Eco with minor alterations. (Coccinella is the common ladybird with red hardened forewings punctuated by black spots.)

So that's where all the dots from Fundin Eco ended up :)

On a press conference the Reporter: Is it true that President Putin have got an SUV from Barack Obama?
Spokesman: Yes, the rumors can be confirmed with some minor corrections: First, it was not Putin but Sergey; then, it wasn't from Obama, but from Olga; and last, he's got not an SUV, but STD.

There's an optical illusion at work here, making the shape seem to bulge out. Neat.

@thalamic: Actually, there are at least three different optical illusions in this font. The one you've mentioned, most obvious with @,C,E,G,O. You can also see grey squares around the black dots. An finally, there is a yellowish haze around the letters, though the background is plain white. They are all results of the peculiar way of how our brain processes visual input.

This font is much more than It seems on the surface, and I can tell that it had a lot of work done to make it, from a hardworking font maker. Beautiful illusion, and I keep on typing out more and more things hoping to get another effect from this font.

Really multi-dimensional.

The choice between the path to the future and the path to destruction is in our hands, and that is the essence of democracy. We must recognize the importance of sustainability and ethical considerations in technology development and act accordingly.

As media artists, researchers, and citizens of the world, we raise our voices, inspired by the urgency and potential of the digital future. At a time when the Earth is facing existential challenges, we must unite to secure its future. We must be prepared, even for the good.
