This design was inspired by bubble letters and block letters.
Combining round edges to sharp edges creates a satisfying bubble block typeface. The highlight in the type create the illusion of a more rounded typeface.
The typeface Chop originally came into fruition as Chop Chop and was later shortened for convenience. The name comes from the process in which it was made, by chopping off what would normally be rounded. It has both playful and sinister qualities. Chop reminisces of a simpler time when computer games still came on floppy disks and the Internet was dial-up.
Common uses for Chop include but are not limited to: laser engraved ax handles, mix CDs, laser engraved knife handles, mixtapes, album covers and graffiti.
A playful stencil-type font that's best used for a headline or small amount of type. I'm not happy with some of the letters like the K and the R and they will need to be tweaked. This is a work in progress.
This is a cloneMy final entry in the competition. Inspired by Mazey, zlabyrinths eYe/FS, and wavelength. Each glyph has its own maze, and each maze connects with the next. Tilde ~ and low line _ connect words, grave ` closes beginnings and ends, and the left and right arrows < > are for the start and end. There are also some alternates in Extended Latin A. Suggestions and critiques are welcome. Thanks!

This font was inspired by Johannes Gutenberg’s Black Letter, and the iconic 8 bit font. I wanted to make a font that would be found in an old arcade or some odd Nintendo Gameboy role playing game.
The challenge of making this font was trying to make it simple like the original 8 bit font but still have it be ornate like the Black Letter. I believe that I met the challenge and I was also able to make a lower case set which adds more readability to the big blocky upper case. While it became more readable it is still more of a display font.
