A neat language of combining letters to create even more unique characters. Based on some languages like Armenian. Work in progress.
Based on the theme of rebirth, ‘Fill in the blanks’ draws inspiration from the Renaissance era. Looking at the original printing press, traditional blackletter and Renaissance calligraphy, ‘Fill in the blanks’ offers a modern twist on some of the oldest typefaces to date. By looking at the brush strokes of blackletter and the serifs used in the printing press typefaces, this font is a combination of these characteristics. By using just these features the human eye can still recognise the letter form, essentially allowing your mind to ‘Fill in the blanks.’
Instructions: this font is designed for the creation of panoramic mountain ranges, plus some weather on a standard QWERTY keyboard. It is UPPERCASE only and makes use of the negative space left of the LEFT vertical guide to make overlays, which is why the preview looks funny.
1. Keep your shift key held down throughout.
2. High Peaks. Start by choosing an uppercase letter from the upper row (eg. "Q").
3. Low Peaks. Then choose an uppercase letter from the row below (eg. "A").
4. Foothills. Then choose an uppercase letter from the row below (eg. "Z").
5. Weather. Keeping the shift key held down, choose clouds and rain from the numbers row.
Notes:
> Remember to change each column of mountains + weather before moving on to the next.
> It looks like around 70 for text size is optimal.
> Use square brackets to start and finish your mountain range.
> Let me know if you spot a place for tweaks.
> See if you can find all the elements I forgot about!
