this was for the first exercise from the "thinking with type" book by ellen lupton! 

the prompt was to make a rectilinear (thus the name "rectilia") bitmap font with no curves or diagonals (even using "staircases", but i cheated a little lololol)

this was my first time making a font! i'm happy with the end result and would be overjoyed if you liked it too and decided to use it! 

*P.S: it's only in caps! if you enter lowercase letters they'll turn up empty. 

This started as a font named "Sympleton." Don't know what it became. It's still simple though. (There was also way to much kerning involved.)
