Inspired by the Logo of The band Scorpions first created back in 1975.
All other letters were built based on the letters in the original logo by me.
I found the original font of the logo, called "Lady Starlight" (you can check it out here:https://www.dafont.com/lady-starlight.font?text=SCORPIONS) quite boring and thus made this like a recreation. Hope you find it much more interesting.

a project to unwind from the more complex projects i am currently working on
update 0.2: fontlanger2005 inspired me to make a few more alts that he suggested in a clone of this font
an attempt was made to create a didone typeface
weird 'a, c, e, f, g, k, r, s, t, v, w, x, y' and more because why not
inspired by droulers and the works of alex slobzheninov
wip, just wanted to publish this for now
this is a font that has a lot of components and reuses them a lot.
or, in other words, the font uses the other glyphs and modifies them to make another glyph, creating strange looks of the glyphs.
WARNING: font not meant for text, only meant for display or headlines!
(i accidentally made the lowercase more legible than the uppercase.)
some letters like K, V and Y are made from the A, so they may look inconsistent.
lettela is a WIP semi-serif distorted typeface. i'm currently planning to add lowercase and punctuation.
This is a clone of Lettela 104 JULY 2022
Added U+FFFC (OBJECT REPLACEMENT CHARACTER)
Added U+E000 (.notdef)
Fixed U+FFFD (REPLACEMENT CHARACTER)
Small-grid doodle which creates new combinatorial forms.
I considered this design rather rough and unappealing until I gave it negative spacing. This caused the forms to merge together in unpredictable and interesting ways. The lesson here is that sometimes the metrics, not the aesthetics, are what "make" or "save" a design.
Iteration 4: Basic Latin kerning finished.

Design Rules:
1. Letters with spurs will have the spur begin at the baseline. This provides the distinctive "high heeled" look.
2. Any letter whose traditional design has a straight vertical line on its left side will keep the line, no matter how the lines of the actual letter travel.
A font made to be very economical.
This design uses as few unique shapes as possible. In addition to extensive rotations and flips (see AR, EMW, FL, GJUV, IHKT, NSZ25), glyphs are made so that they can be cut down to make other glyphs in as few cuts as possible (see BEI, used to make ACDFLMNOPRSWYZ1235689). Some other glyphs (see QX.,) then make use of the cut parts.
This means that, were these letters to be physically made, the maker would only need a few forms to start with and could cut the rest in only a few steps.
The name was chosen because of both a running joke between friends and because it was the coolest-looking phrase I tried when I auditioned the font.

This was made to reproduce an amusing glitch found in MIDAS which caused insanely high ratings of 17.3×10^213 (17.3 septuagintillion). The glitch has since been fixed.
Another of Dr. Zeph's* mad experiments! This is an Alien Latin Groovy Minimalist Thingamabob with numerous unique forms of dyslexia-inducing ambiguity. It reads surprisingly well at small size!
