The theme behind this piece is decay. I started by experimenting with the things that immediately spring to mind when you think of decay; crumbling walls, rotting vegetables, peeling paint... Then I found the definition of decay in physics 'transformation of an elementary particle into two or more different particles.' and biological decay 'to break down into component parts.' After experimenting with different ways of breaking up a typeface, I came up with this. A sort of abstract representation of scientific decay. To create the long, thin diagonal lines, I had to do it on a huge scale, filling almost 3 'screens' in height with each letter. Sadly this meant it's impossible to download the font. E F G O and Q still need a bit of work as they stand out to much. Cameron Nicol

Awesome experimental type. The thin lines are made of tiny dots - very clever. 10/10

Incredible shading technique - one that would really grace a slightly more balanced font. 10/10

Thanks for the feedback. Ye I agree the EFGO and Q are the worst (scale wise) and could definitely do with some work.
