Symmetric patterns difying legibility. Each l/c letter consists of two different bricks in a square copied diagonally. The u/c are the same as the lower case but copied into four (making a fifth in the middle).

An interesting exercise.

Comment by p2pnut 6th november 2009

I like fonts that defy legibility. They are pure design magic, and once one's eye is catched, without considering the meaning they carry, i'm confident he'll take time to decipher the text. As people used to do with the psychedelic rock posters of the 60's and 70's.

A very rich meta-experiment.

Comment by gferreira_admin 9th november 2009

Another brilliant work. I feel like making posters of your work to stare at them for long times.

Love it. So fun to play with.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. I'm glad you like my font.

@p2pnut: that's exactly what it is.

@igorrossi & thalamic: Posters are definately a posibility

@gferreira: Thank you very much for the TP. I had not expected that.

@afrojet: It is a product of play, and it is meant to be played with.

love this!

Well deserving of the pink dot and the tasty afrojet sample. You could four-up the numerals in whatever characters the shift+number keys pull up for even more easy tiling fun. Bring on the fontstruct wrapping paper, limited edition posters, and laser-etched leather-bound moleskine covers!

FontStruct gift wrap! Great idea will.i.ૐ. This FontStruction would be great for that. I'm thinking that a FontStruct image gallery is quickly rising to the top of my feature request wishlist. Perhaps another option under the 'Gallery' tab.

ingenious. it looks like you're looking at the letters through a kaleidoscope. I have never seen a font like this. it's beautiful.

Also well received my prize-shirt with Cmunk Abstract letters motif. Wearing proudly in streets, amused by people amazed wondering what the hell it's about...

@Ne: I am honoured that you chose my design for the prize T-shirt. I recently bought it myself (as well as the one with the fontstruct logo) and must say that I am very proud to have my own T-shirt design. Thank you again, Neurone ;)
