This typeface hides more than it shows.

Very nice, I like the trick with the multiline bricks to get extra thin outline.

Comment by Peter (Petruuccio) Sat, 24th may

Pretty nice use of the connecting bricks to achieve a neon LED effect.

@riccard0: A question that's intrigued me: Have you tested how your font looks using Illustrator or Photoshop? I'm under the impression that colored fonts should have transparent layers, otherwise one color would merge with another and blow the result... Personally, I haven't tried it because I don't use those programs. It's a big question I still have. Does anyone here know anything more about this? Thanks in advance.

I haven’t yet tested colour fonts in Adobe programs (the versions I can use are ancient, and don’t think support them at all). Nowadays I mainly use the Affinity suite of apps, and had no problem in my (albeit still limited) testing, both for screen use and press-ready PDFs. That said, it could be that non all formats are equally well supported, but any decent graphic program should be able to mask overlapping layers.

Then are like the Same but the other is Black...

Comment by JeycoMonge Mon, 26th may

The other is a block.

Excellent layering. Have you tried to overlap the blue outlines?

Comment by four Thu, 29th may

@four Thank you! 

For “overlapping” do you mean trying to get rid of the white hairline between the letters or reducing the spacing to a single line between letters?

In the second case I fear it would be look too tight. As for the first option, part of the gimmick is that the letters and their backplates are cut following the constrains of industrial manufacturing, in terms of tools, speed, and cost (hence the round counters and approximate contours of |g|m|S|, etc.). Removing the hairlines would suggest a single mounting plate behind each word, which, by that logic, would be shaped differently.

It was just an idea. It looks great either way!
