Oxygen missing

Inspiration struck me at work when I was marking a set of used tires with the name of its owner. Different tire treads force one to write in peculiar ways in order for the text to be legible when searching our tire storage. The essence of "Backbone" was born due to this limitation. Created on the philosophy of being reliant on a far-left line (the proverbial "backbone") and revolving around it as much as possible. Other important themes and limitations are 45 & 90 degree angles, brutalism, and the numbers 7 & 13. However, aesthetics take priority, so you may very well see some broken rules. Intended as a display font, not all elements are fully legible and some characters don't play nice with each other. What else do you expect from a bunch of sharp points?

Working under the theme of 'Rebirth', I have focused my first font on the idea of post-war architecture, or otherwise commonly known as modernist/brutalist architecture. Buildings constructed following the Second World War were built using new technologies of construction. These types of designs were known for their use of modern materials such as concrete and steel as well as their interesting geometrical forms. I was heavily influenced by the architecture featured in Owen Hopkins' book 'Lost Futures' which looks at the disappearing architecture of post-war Britain and how changing external contexts played a role in the subsequent destruction of these buildings.
