Then I just doodled some repeating patterns. Then I saw how I can fill the patterns inside the letters. They fit together pretty easily for vertical letters, but diagonals were really tricky. The end product resembled Hawaiian leis draped over each glyph. Very floral. So there you have it. Flowers. For Casey. :)Inspired%20by%20caseycastille%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F97452%22%3EChinese%20Chairs%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20this%20started%20out%20as%20an%20exploration%20of%20optional%20letters%20for%20that%20font.%20Then%20I%20just%20doodled%20some%20repeating%20patterns.%20Then%20I%20saw%20how%20I%20can%20fill%20the%20patterns%20inside%20the%20letters.%20They%20fit%20together%20pretty%20easily%20for%20vertical%20letters%2C%20but%20diagonals%20were%20really%20tricky.%20The%20end%20product%20resembled%20Hawaiian%20leis%20draped%20over%20each%20glyph.%20Very%20floral.%20So%20there%20you%20have%20it.%20Flowers.%20For%20Casey.%20%3A%29

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?

I know fill fonts are normally only covering the inside of the letters, but because i can't adjust the spacing, i had to make it like this to get them overlaying...
