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? Sitting around idle.

All the letters are in the lower case positions at the moment, I'll probably duplicate to the caps for ease when using.

Update:  I've made some improvements to the F, 1, 4 + 7, (still not completely happy with the 4) and added a question mark.

Inspired by the "Lambretta" logo – I've attempted upper & lowercase letters – and started a few numbers. Not entirely happy with the overall look, The S, X, Y, Z  definately need further work, so bear with me, as I hope to refine this when time allows – and expand the character set.My%20first%20proper%20attempt%20at%20a%20Fonstruct%20font%20%E2%80%93%20and%20very%20much%20%27work%20in%20progress%27%20so%20bear%20with%20me.%20Inspired%20by%20the%20%22Lambretta%22%20logo%20%E2%80%93%20I%27ve%20attempted%20upper%20%26%20lowercase%20letters%20%E2%80%93%20and%20started%20a%20few%20numbers.%20Not%20entirely%20happy%20with%20the%20overall%20look%2C%20The%20S%2C%20X%2C%20Y%2C%20Z%20%20definately%20need%20further%20work%2C%20so%20bear%20with%20me%2C%20as%20I%20hope%20to%20refine%20this%20when%20time%20allows%20%E2%80%93%20and%20expand%20the%20character%20set.
