My first serious attempt at a font. Please leave comments and constructive criticism. My vision for this font is to be somewhat hard-to-read, futuristic, abstract, and modern.
commission for starstruck (@starstruckboye on twitter).
At the end of October I decided to dive into the new Bricks 'Connect'. I started with the lowercase 's' & 'a'. Working out what the minimal size I could fontstruct it in, then expanded and condensed it from there to accomadate the rest of the glyths. You can still see these in the font above (Just before the Latin characters. As I progressed I came to love the thin white gaps, and then tried to have every glyth with some element of the curved white gap in it. Some were more successful than others. As you can see, I have included the less preferred options at the end. I've also designed some of the final glyphs in illustrator, as it was impossible to have all of them with one white line, without help from an external app.
The most difficult glyphs to create and ultimately the most satisfying once completed were the 'V' and '~'.
I liked the look of final font so much, that I decided to create a whole family. Cableguynium 0 (which has Zero cables), CableGuynium 2 (which has 1-2 cables per glyth), and CableGuynium 3 (Which has 3-4 cables).
Unusually I struggled naming this font, I have early versions saved called Flowonica, Rubber Tyre, Ice Skater and Fibropticon, ..... eventually settling on CableGuynium as it was the most memorable.
ANY CRITICISM, GOOD OR BAD IS WELCOMED.
The font is from primitives, while it is more complicated than it seems. The forms are inspired, among other things, by the graphics of Yves Saint Laurent patterns and sharp shapes (resembling a beak), and the name refers to a bird - magpie - which we consider to be a symbol of greed and greed for shiny jewelry (this is typical of these birds, probably a reflex for searching for prey) .
Шрифт из примитивов, при этом он сложнее, чем кажется. Формы вдохновлены в том числе графикой паттернов Ив Сен Лоран и острых форм(напоминающих клюв), а название отсылает к птице - сороке - которая у нас считается символом жадности и падкости на блестящие украшения (это свойственно этим птицам, вероятно, рефлекс для поисков добычи).

ultra grooves. these letters connect to each-other. you can use the '-' to connect letters from the top, and '_' to connect letters from the bottom. not all letters will connect, so try experimenting with the upper/lower cases to see which alts will connect to each other. i did my best to come up with as many combinations as possible, but if i missed any that you think could work, please let me know.
initial concept inspired by Drum and Bass LDR by Neoqueto. there is an alternate 'L' in the lowercase that looks better with double l's on words like 'yellow' as the regular 'L' looks weird when there is more than one.
Someone said that my fonts break their brains? So be it, my last deconstruction (maybe;).
Кто-то говорил, что мои шрифты ломают мозг? Так уж и быть, моя последняя деконструкция (возможно;).

In case you're wondering, what the hell? This is my attempt to provide a decent font family for wireframes. After doing some research and not really liking the available fonts, I decided to make one myself. I would like to make a family out of it: kbdkf-WF a→e.
Feel free to tell me what you think and make suggestions for improvement.
