79 Downloads79%20Downloads7919 Comments19%20Comments1980 Glyphs80%20Glyphs80I really like the way this one turned out. It uses minimal grid blocks to achieve the desired effect (although at ~2x2 and the slivers and the pinhole dots, there are a surprisingly large number of actual bricks used per glyph than evident at a quick glance, although not a single overlapping brick is used without express purpose). I think this is my favorite of all the ones I've done so far. It is with nervous anticipation that I let it free.

63 Downloads63%20Downloads6315 Comments15%20Comments1556 Glyphs56%20Glyphs56I've been seeing a lot of almost-completely-filled-blocks-with-chips-in-them kind of fonts lately. Quite well promoted too. I find most of them to be illegible. No matter what someone says about style and movement and period, to me, type exist to communicate, and legibility is the keystone of that functionality. If I can't decipher the glyph as a letter in a fraction of a second, the typeface has failed, no matter how beautiful it might be to look at as a graphic element. This is what I have tried to do here: taken a current trend and tried to make a legible typeface, staying within the parameters of said style. Most glyphs are quite legible but some are not, like s v w 0 8 9 & etc. I have failed as well.   Plus I am not happy with the consistency—or lack thereof—either. It bothers me that the inside chips had to be rotated from character to character or move them about here and there. I did the uppercase as well...then deleted them all because I just couldn't resolve the similarity between H and N. I may have to find a less ______* new hobby.* stationary? senatory?

49 Downloads49%20Downloads497 Comments7%20Comments7100 Glyphs100%20Glyphs100A rounded version of NCD Black Square. Giving a more bloated, friendlier, and smoother look. Whilst still still retaining the ultra minimal style.
D, G, V & 4 are the only two letters that still retain a sharp edge.

Originally based on a Black Square of Russian Artist of Kazimir Malevich. Only using the smallest amount of manipulation possible to give a real minimalist effect. Whilst still retaining some form of legibility.

The Black Square of Kazimir Malevich is one of the most famous creations of Russian art in the last century.
