Very creepy, I know. It is merely made of rotated hexagons. Not much to it.

It’s got a very urban-industrial grit to it. The variable-width gaps in the stencil add to the distressed effect. An impressive effect considering the design restrictions you choose! Is a lower case possible? 9/10

Oops! A trendy new stencil face. Nice text effect (sort of grunge?) made by innovative use of simple hexagonal bricks. I hope you complete the set and provide a stunning demo pic. 10/10

Thank you for your generous compliments! Yes, I am planning on making lowercase and more letters. And a demo pic, per Frodo's suggestion. But I only use Word and Paint for the pics, so I'm not sure it will be brilliant.

I like this. Its simple, yet extravagant in it own little way. Awesome job! 10/10

P.S.: Paint is actually pretty great to work with if you know what you're doing lol.

Wow, what a fantastic idea. Who'd have thought such a simple choice of bricks would yield such a sophisticated result.

Comment by intaglio 9th july 2011

@crispy: Thanks! Yeah, it is a good program, isn't it?

@intaglio: How can you remain so humble when you yourself have made such excellent fonts, far surpassing this creation? Thank you for the compliment.

Nice work ... a straightforward ideas well executed.

I noticed your comments about Paint and wondered whether the following might be of use: http: //www.freebyte.com/graphicprograms/

Thank you, pnut! Thanks for the resources; they may one day come to use when I get serious about font design and image samples. But for now, although I appreciate the resources, I will remain old-fashioned and use Paint and Word.

Again, I do appreciate your input and suggestion. I don't doubt they will one day come to use.
