Details

Description:
Everyday, electricians bend aluminum conduits to run electrical wiring through. When these electricians are bending conduits, they are unintentionally creating amazing forms and shapes. They are inadvertently creating art. This typeface is an emulation of those forms, and the undiscovered art that is created everyday by hard working labor men. Best used with +10 tracking and a bit of kerning on obvious letters.

A note to those who will miss it do to our mini viewer: this is made of hundreds of circles.

*****
this would have been my comment.
but as soon as i tried downloading it my PC freezed. when i restarted it was on my desktop...
this must be however one of the biggest ones on here.
(my PC sucks:))

as a suggestion:
your "O" and "Q", specially "O" would lok less like a zero if you would give them more width.
great anyway, and huge

Yea, I'm working on a solid version of this, but as you know, Fontstruct doesn't have a wide variety of round shapes for the bigger sizes.
For this early version I used the circles to create the "rounded" illusion.
Thanks
