Fresh baked. [Not inspired by Nike®]

Each character is max. 32 grid blocks tall. However, the total height of the fontstruction exceeds that. Couldn't be helped; the curves just make it so. Maybe that disqualifies it from the competition, which is OK, but the design had to take precedence over the rules.

This fs has been in the works for a while and was not specifically begun for the handmadecomp. It started off quite crude...and evolved into the baroque-ness over time. With all the shape possibilities, it may never be 'done' done.

The sample is made by printing the letters and trimming an aluminum foil tape in the shape of the letters. The negative foil was used to line-up the separate pieces on my bathroom tiles. Click. Edit. Post.

A reminder/clarification: The 32-brick height limit applies to individual letters not to the whole font. So this is a valid entry.

Wow! This is very pretty. Every bit is lovely. I guess it's pre-monsoon over Pakistan. There must be something in the air to stimulate your brain :) 10/10
