They are very nice forms. To be fonts it would depends on the number of points - they would have to be truetype and in the past some complex fonts have used more than one glyph window for one character. I digitized some ornate Victorian typefaces a few years ago and had problems with them not printing or having bizarre lines develope. Your forms look to me like they will have to remain vector art - just too complex.

Love the blend tool - can you say Spirograph? :)

peace

neither spirograph nor blend tool, simply Illustrator. guess ??

That’s really terrific, Satya. I have absolutely no clue as to the feasibility of what you’re suggesting, having had little experience actually creating fonts, but I’ve never seen anything that looks remotely like this. I especially love how you’re able to create a real sense of depth with the crossbar of the t and the overlaps of the “fabric.” One thing I’m not crazy about, though, is breaking off the “serifs” of the s, as you’ve done here; I’d rather if the letterforms were all unbroken. Again, good luck, and sorry I couldn’t answer your question.

If it turns out not to be feasible to put this in a standard font file, you could consider releasing it as individual EPS files.

That is a beautiful sculpture, really, in a garden maybe, 3 meters tall——it is terrific.

scribble effect! yay

:) exactly.

Neat! reminds of

btw using another commercial typeface to produce a new one in this way - does it work?

Ohh wow...That typeface was created with the same tool i did mine.
and I didnt knew...It means its possible to export this face as well.

Now please someone tell me who created this face.

Hello Grant!!!!

Veer’s about page that you linked to said that Corey Holms created Pea, if that’s what your question was, Satya. But if you read what it says, he made his using “elaborate calligraphic swashes,” which is somewhat different from what you’re doing. So I would continue to pursue yours, definitely.

Pea was done with a plugin, I dont remember which

Lovely work Satya. Have you read the book Metalheart

The design kind of reminds of the shapes they achieve in here.

Thanks Andi,

Yes, I’ve seen this book. Its there in my school’s library.
will check it today for those shapes you’re talking abt/.

When looking up Roger Excoffon (after reading about Quimera’s inspiration), I came across Calypso D, which reminded me of your project in its folding. Obviously, they’re quite different, but the three-dimensionality of Calypso was striking — especially since Wikipedia says he designed it in 1958.
