At pixel size, it looks like an old Vasarely abstract painting, and then you read the words, like by magick. I think you could make Big size prints, it would very much like abstract patterns, but actually there would be "messages" hidden in the "paintings. A great part of my artistic works function like this.
Definitely an excellent work !
Many thanks. I have written above - "ugly and unreadable" in an intention to underline the whole character of font.
And there is an example of use:
-The 2 O of Blood form the eyes of the father, the T of Data his nose, the U of Flux his mouth, the R of Morph his body;
-The second O and the D of Blood form the eyes of the mother (she's eye-in-eye with her man), the second A of Data form her nose, the X of Flux her mouth, the H of Morph her body;
-The B and L of Blood form the eyes of the child, the D of data his nose, the F of Flux his mouth, the M of Morph his body;
-The first A of data form the eye in profile of the pet, the L of Flux its nose, the O of Morph its mouth, the P of Morph the end of its body partly hidden by the R.
They are all in a shematized wagon so that when the digital prints are exposed together, they form a train. This work, behind its joyful colours and childish forms, is talking about eugenism, about dark pages of humanity and about how with the phenomenal progesses of technology in the genetic domain, this could be far more worse and nightmarish than it was in the 1930-1940s if all this should start again
Sorry for my long time of absence. Now (here, in Poland, is 3:18) I found some time until I will go to sleep to answer you (in my broken-english, I hope you'll understand).
Can you tell me a more about "GENE TYPE" artwork series? Are you publishing them somewhere? Maybe you could drop me an url? I tried to Google them, but I didn't found anything.
And back to the BDFM - the word "data" except the T - looks like a father's moustache... Mixed up with mother's mouth. It's so personal to me, well, I had not got a pet ever, but the model of my family was the same, until my father died (he had moustache). For me, the colours are so tearful too... Oh, I hate you, N.E. - I had a beautiful day, I wanted to jump down into a bed and fall asleep without nightmares... Now, the rest (I mean - 5 - 10 minutes) of present day are ruined by this sad picture (that's ok, me kidding).
He said that my concept of design is intelligent! What an achievement!
GENE TYPE will be integrated in my sort of catalogue raisonné untitled TESTAMENT CONCENTRANT presented in a limited edition series of fascicules. I recently made a long comment about it on the page of Frodo7 font called "Études pour Noir et Blanc 02B", you should check it. Maybe one day some courageous gallerist would like to exhibit Gene Type, but this is not on the spot for now.
Fontstruct is the first place where I show my work on Internet, I am not very much at ease with the medium (and with the "communication" things in general, modern or not). Fontstruct is the first community I integrate.
I am very glad you liked the colors, you can not imagine how this was difficult to obtain, how many formulas I tried, for the two years since I began working on Gene Type the concept changed many times (and each time I had to redo all the series from the very begining) from a black and white mixing only two figures to this very elaborated concept. And the combinations of colors mutated in parallel.
Maybe I am going to make you feel a bit more appreciated but working on LDR#0 I improved once again the colors of 4 characters, so I had to adapt this to the entire series, my time to hate you Neoqueto (me kidding, too). In return, I placed the LDR#0 work at the head of the series, it is the new number one. Now this has to be the very last evolution of the concept, because I am going to put it on the TESTAMENT, wich I decided to do to at last make things more definitive, hence the title.
Like I said to Frodo7, this will take time untill I can issue the first series of fascicules of the TESTAMENT CONCENTRANT, some months I'm afraid, I have so much work left, but when the fascicule cataloguing the GENE TYPE series will be printed, I will be pleased to send a dedicated copy to you.
Have a nice day Neoqueto.
@DJNippa: Others... Hmmm... I believe that everyone in the FS team who's responsible in giving Top Picks represent some people who have certain taste. Of course their range don't (and never will) reach some some really bizarre and badly made creations. This is the main reason why NE is doing such things.
@NE: Thank you for you words, but I think you should ask the authors of the fonts you think they're great about their intentions. By the way, you guessed the purpose of LDR#0 pretty well xD. And of course the one basic rule - speak only about yourself, don't impose your opinion on others. The war is not over soldier! Making FONTS is a much better weapon than posting COMMENTS!
Alright, maybe the whole quarrel over this topic should end here? I don't want the comments function to be turned off (I've experienced it many times on many forums, sites).
This work reminds me of works of The Designer Republic, only stronger and heavier.
Well, that's a hard font overall, and because of it's nature it's beautiful and unique.
Thanks.
How about a "redux" version of LDR#0?
