I make serious fonts to help my computer programming. I also like doing conceptual things with fonts, like making them overlap to build shapes, making letters represent different things and building optical illusions of lines that are not there.

I am very surprised at how readable this is in Microsoft Word. I did not intend this font to be readable. The whole idea was to use all angles and no curves so that I could hopefully have thousands of glyphs without the font getting too huge. Readability is a nice addition.
You have to put a ` between every character and start every other line with a `, for example:
A` `q`u`i`c`k` `b`r`o`w`n` `f`o`x` `j`u`m`p`s`
`o`v`e`r` `t`h`e` `l`a`z`y` `d`o`g`.` `S`p`h`i`n`
x` `o`f` `b`l`a`c`k` `q`u`a`r`t`z` `j`u`d`g`e` `
`m`y` `v`o`w`.` `A`b`o`u`t` `s`i`x`t`y` `c`o`d`
f`i`s`h` `e`g`g`s` `w`i`l`l` `m`a`k`e` `a` ` `
`q`u`a`r`t`e`r` `p`o`u`n`d` `o`f` `v`e`r`y` ` `
f`i`z`z`y` `j`e`l`l`y`.` `G`r`u`m`p`y` `w`i`z`
`a`r`d`s` `m`a`k`e` `t`o`x`i`c` `b`r`e`w` `f`o`r
t`h`e` `e`v`i`l` `Q`u`e`e`n` `a`n`d` `J`a`c`k`.
`N`e`w` `f`a`r`m`h`a`n`d` `p`r`o`v`e`s` `s`t`r`o
n`g` `b`u`t` `l`a`z`y`,` `p`i`c`k`i`n`g` `j`u`s`
`t` `s`i`x` `q`u`i`n`c`e`s`.` `C`r`a`z`y` `F`r`e
d`r`i`c`k`a` `b`o`u`g`h`t` `m`a`n`y` `v`e`r`y`
`e`x`q`u`i`s`i`z`i`t`e` `o`p`a`l` `j`e`w`e`l`s`.`
In the future we will have metadata attached to each letter. Metadata will also indicate the ordinal letter order of each word. And wrapping will start lines with the space rather than today where the space is on the end of the previous line.
From top to bottom, I have included a 'future' letter category, Morse code, the letter and some letter width data, unicode bits, and the letter beginning along with case.
Another attempt to make a readable font narrower than Arial Narrow. I am basing the letters on ovals now, to try to make them easier for my eyes to deal with at small sizes. Works very well at size 9. Arial Narrow is still better ast size 8.
