An expansion of the classic MICR E13B code to a full alphabet and symbols. I tried to make each glyph irregular and unique, just like the original number forms.

A font inspired by a poster I saw on Behance some time ago. (I'll post a link to it if ever I find it again.)

It has taken a long time to complete. Seriously. This started in 2009. Yet, the effect is not as nice as I hoped. Oh well.

Clone of Med Splode. Yes this is a clone, even though originally it went the other way!

All credit to Buro Destruct for their original bitmap design. Except for the &, that one’s mine.

I originally released this in 2008 as an exploration of the optical effect possible using different modules in a simple, gridded bitmap design. Buro Destruct iconic design was an inviting point of departure.

I have recreated/republished this at the request of four who took the inspiration and ran with it.This is a clone of Med Splode

The font Flomotion is the outcome to my first semester at UWE, studying Graphic Design. The task was to create a full typeface on the font building website, fontstruct.com. The final design had to relate to a chosen theme, my chosen theme for this project was Motion in which I pursued the subject of optical illusions. I liked the idea of trying to create a false sense of movement with a font, taking inspiration from existing optical illusions with the same effect. This then led me to look at the 'Op' art movement of the 1960's, in particular the extensive work of Bridget Riley. Her use of black and white line giving the illusion of depth had a big influence on my work and I think my final design reflects this.

This font somehow seems to lean to the right. Must be a mental byproduct of some kind.

This looks best small, but not pixel. So about medium small if that makes any sense. This is a clone

The letters can easily be made more legible. But it gets to be FUN & a-MAZE-d. Every letter/word has a solution. 4 types of spaces: space bar, @, #, %. Try it.

I bought one of those 3D Pin Art things at a garage sale a couple weeks ago. Turns out making 3D impressions of "The Bird" doesn't hold the same cultural currency now as it did when I was in Junior High, so I decided to cash in another way and make some letters.This is a clone
