A design that looks like a top-down view of ziggurats!
I composited the diacritics so they'd fit into place, but this means that most anything non-English needs to be pretty large to be unambiguously read...
A quadratic design which also kind of looks like a hedge maze viewed from overhead.
The idea here was that I had 4 quadrants with 90-degree angles in them, and I would turn or modify those quadrants so they looked like letterforms.
This monospace font was first created in paint using only the smallest possible grid (3x3), with wich every common glyph can (recognisable) be drawn. In this font not every glyph can be deciphered on its own. But on a second glance you shoud easily be able to read a word, phrase or a sentence.
