Improved version of Wim Gestreept, I reworked proportions and character balance.
Inspired bt the works of great Wim Crouwel and striped sports jerseys. Also a study in 45 degrees diagonals, happily provided by fontstructor and master Goatmeal. Basic latin support and a few ligatures.
This is a clone of Wim GestreeptInspired heavily by dm Solidus (and several other fonts by demonics), and also by Modular Blackout Bold Condensed (now private, but you can see a sample here). More/less rounded alternates can be found in Latin Extended A. As always, suggestions and critiques are welcome. Thanks and enjoy!
(2017: This was another one that barely needed to be touched--the only edit I made was thinning the outer ring of the @ symbol from a full brick to half a brick wide. I'm getting toward the end of my collection of private but completely finished fonts though...)
First designed for the Rare AF2 event, Rare Art Festival, about most innovative projects in the realm of cryptoart, held in New York:

This is the halfone version.
This is my first attempt to design a super compact font to be realized with my modular rubberstamp system.
In January 2021 I was contacted by Pranksy of NFTBoxes.io that asked me to design an artwork for a new kind of collectible (we call them "NFTs" is the trend of 2021, I'm in this since 2018). The idea was to produce a piece in the theme of "innovators" and the main curator and artist of the subscription was Mr. Coldie!
I know Coldie since my inception in Superrare, he's one of the most incredible artists and creators of this space that we call "Cryptoart". He's doing a lot of strange things, but I noticed we both started doing our mad things using photocopier machines.
So I had this idea to realize a schematic of the working process of the photocopier. You can see the result HERE, there are 500 digital copies of the artwork available, you can buy one with some Ether, the cryptocurrency, if you want.
This font is the digital test, still be completed, that I've used for the artwork.
Based on the 1981 Lady Bug game typeface. Lady Bug is an insect-themed maze chase video game produced by Universal Entertainment and released in arcades in 1981.[3] Its gameplay is similar to Pac-Man, with the primary addition to the formula being gates that change the layout of the maze when used.
