the study of crop (or cropt) circles :) some of these appear in ornaments. when i did that one, i felt many of the designs reminded me of crop circles. so i added a few more :) i've done a couple of other crop circle fonts. but it kind of seems natural to make crop circles out of circles (dots), doesn't it? i have also tried to show the progression of similar designs by trying to keep/group them together, but there are some strays here and there :)
Remember that time in the future, when there was a deadly global virus, then they tried to force everyone to take a mandatory untested vaccine, along with an implanted GPS chip that is cryptocurrency controlled and could track you worldwide, along with embedding additional restritions on civil liberties and personal freedom? Oh wait, thats now. Silly humans.
Future technology, like nanoimplants, will be magically rendered invisible with the use of nanotechnology utilizing atomic sized processors enabled through ferro electrics in conjunction with nanowires and carbon nanotubes operating from a ternary extradimensional mathematical framework. Or something like that.
Ironically, this font works best in macro sizes, not micro or nano.
This is a cloneDecorative, ArtDeco-ish all uppercase font for TwentiesComp. Got carried away and added Cyrillic too ;) Enjoy!

I saw the logo for tramplin.tv [pictured below] a loooong time ago and was fascinated by it. It used to live on my computer desktop so I can look at it frequently. Even thought to redo it in fontstruct but...just looking at it, it was clear it wasn't doable...at least back then. At some point, the image was moved off to some other to-be-filed folder, and eventually I forgot about it.
I found it again the other day while hunting for some other file.
It was still fascinating. And in the meantime, fontstruct had grown up considerably (Thanks, Rob!). It was time to attempt doing it.
Well, kicked my ass, didn't it.
It seems so simple: One diagonal that goes from one letter to another in smooth transition, bisected by a different angle diagonals. No. Easy in concept, killer in making the geometry work of 2×1 diagonals to 1×4 diagonals.
No matter what thickness of diagonals were selected and whatever the gaps were left, the angles would not line up at some point or another. Which was confusing as 2 goes into 4 exactly 2 times, so things should have lined up without complication. I remembered, many years ago kix used Transparent Windows utility to make the browser transparent so he could trace silhouetted figures for one of his brilliant fs. Even tried tracing. Nope. After many failed attempts, had to break out Illustrator to better visualize the grid and diagonal guides of my own.
[See picture below]
Figuring out the geometry was much simpler in Ai. Found out where I was going wrong. First attempt at doing a and m and making them line up worked like a charm. From then on, it was just a matter of doing the glyphs. Some of them were simple to execute; others like e and c and especially z were quite difficult...at least for my limited intelligence.
Anyway, here it is.

I made a font inspired by art-deco, which I really love. To more universal capital letters, more decorative lowercase have been made, which can be varied by additional alternative characters (o e i).
Quarantine 2020 allowed for this fontstruction to be born as it provided forced free time.
I'm sure it's true for everyone who designs fonts, there were lots of artistic decisions made in the creation process. Some letters went through a lot of iterations to arrive at their current state. Almost the entire uppercase were designed one way, scrapped and then redesigned this way.
The future is screen. Super high-resolution screen. Resolution so high that it is indistinguishible from printed text. 4K screens are available on mobile devices now. The future is resolution independent then.
