This is pure insane and innovative minimalism, sure not easy to read but still on the legible side. Excellent.

Thankls so much, I really like your minimal fonts, even though they often verge on illegibility. I concieved of this when making 'plexud', I couldn't finish that with only triangles and retain legibility but I thought 'What if I use circles instead?' and this was born. This is only barely legible though, words like 'near' are incomprehensible, but generally it's far more legible when in words than I ever expected. This was an experiment in artistic minimalism, the legibility was just a bonus.

wouldn't you mind if i asked you which of my fonts or families you were thinking of in your comment ?

Comment by Abneurone Fluid Types 3rd september 2010

Sure neurone, my favourites are the large ones, like electronic church, the pictorial abuse ones, Heterodoxa and that sort of thing. Your other fonts are also excellent, but those stand out. I think you deserve a gallery exhibition - they should be displayed with each glyph poster sized.

Whoops, you asked about minimal fonts, well I'm continually amazed at how you can get so much from so little, I can't think of a specific example at the moment but I have definately tried to go elsewhere in fonstruct thanks to seeing some of your wilder minimal constructions. You are great at taming the extreme.

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “pinnys” is now a Top Pick.

@Meek : So all these efforts had some positive effects, anyway. I dare imagine that your choices are from the heart and independant from what happened.

Comment by Abneurone Fluid Types 13th december 2010

Wow thanks for the top pick, this is a seriously experimental font and is barely legible but it took a hell of a lot of agonising to come up with, but I'm proud of it and I'm glad you like it too. Cheers meek!
