@Dear and appreciated minimum: It has been an honour for me to have received from you the possibility of rebuilding my own version of your excellent font "tm Patchpanel", as a result of your very generous offer in FS of the pieces that it was made. I feel enormously lucky and grateful for that. It was also really very interesting for me to be able to go (in a certain way) into the depths of the ins and outs to build glyphs of a great master. With all this, I have dared to propose my humble version of this great font, which is this one that I am now making public. With all this, I have tried to make the grid more obvious, showing the shape of the letters inside. I've also tried not to repeat any of the glyphs of the original font, and I confess also my inability to get a good enough H. The final result appears to lack the freshness of your original font, but offers (to my mind, I hope also to you) some other qualities. I wish I hadn't demeaned the original too much and not made it too ugly. Thanks a million.
This is a cloneExperimental 24-segment display or massive monochrome Mondrian matrix. Pixel compatible!
The thinking behind this one was that with incongruously sized segments arranged in the proper way, I would create a design which was effectively 5x5, but which accomodated more glyphs than 5x5 usually does. Negative space is incorporated into the structure of many glyphs, though not enough to classify this as an IVO design.
"Qualtron" is the name of an imaginary entity that a friend believed in - a being meant to represent the result of "a mathematical equation that can rule the universe". I didn't inquire further about it... :D

Design Rules:
1. Segments can have interior length/width of 2 or 5.
2. The central 2x2 square must always remain open.
3. Square bricks and 90-degree angles only.

Original size: 20.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
