I took this epic digger while mountain biking in the rain last Friday. No real damage besides a slightly bruised shoulder. But while kneeling on the ground and collecting my wits, I noticed the impression left by my tire treads in the mud and thought there might be a Fontruction idea in there. Hydroplane is the product of that and represents a desire to stay upright, moving forward, with two wheels firmly gripping the terra. -

Epic indeed.
@thalamic: Thanks. I'm glad you think the s and 5, z and 2 differentiation was successful. That was/is tough. If you look close at the 'p' and 'q' you'll notice some subtle differences. I wasn't worried about the horizontal white space mirroring each other for those two characters as they rarely appear close together in a word. And in the case of a word like 'pique' (as seen below) I like how the horizontal space between the steam and the dot of the 'i' jumps up a notch above the plane created by the horizontal white space in the 'p' and 'q'.
this rocks in several ways!!!
but... i got a deep graffiti background... and i'm able to read even the most complex "porno-styles".
but i don't get the sense of that sample :)
especially to satisfy the one and only geneus1
:P
I'm not really into street culture, but this set spurts trendiness from each gliph.
Welldone another time...
guess i should go crash my bike more often too...;)
btw: i just stumbled upon this by reading the focus on fontstructors article on fontfeed! congrats, well-deserved fame!:)
I had a good ride the other day (crash free!). At the end of the ride I had one of those mud stripes running up my t-shirt from ass to neck. Totally gave me inspiration for a Hydroplane t-shirt, where, on the back of the shirt, the letters would waterfall (like in the sample above) from the neckline to the bottom of the shirt. I think the visual effect would be not unlike a tire tread riding straight down the back of the shirt. Of course the t-shirt would be printed black on black.
