TUBULAR LUMINII - Rounded inline display sans
◇◆◇ ❒ CONCEPT ■ ■
⇛▸⇛ Font that mimics electrical gas-discharge tubes (Neon)
◇◆◇ ❒ BACK STORY ■ ■
A larger potion of the Neon-fonts that are found on the web often have these quite strong emphasis on their decorative design aspects, and a lot of them come in elaborate looking complex styles and form. Besides the numerous optional different personalized conceptual decorative elements implemented into the design, many typefaces also regularly use more commonplace modifications such as; ▸multi-linear, incisions, patterned etc.
◇◆◇ ❒ THIS FONT ■ ■
Instead I went with a clean, simple basic geometric letterform, one that is essentially mono-linear at it's core. The one major key element that I have incorporated to the concept is that unmistakable in-line stroke. This was done to give it more of a convincing 'tubular'-concept as is the case with a real neon gas tube.
The other less pronounced but nonetheless fundamentally important design feature are the closed stroke-endings. Apart from being this extra little personalized element, it also suits a technical purpose. That of which is; "To fully preserve all 'in-lined'-negative (white) space in full isolation". This enables somewhat easier 'end-use' access to layer atributes or compound paths in graphic design software.
◇◆◇ ❒ FS TECHNICAL ■ ■
It's constructed mainly of connector bricks and a set of custom composite bricks, expanding FS's default connection brick set. Enabling greater viariational depth and complexity for custom shaping.

A dotty serif!
I love the technique of dotting, it gives me lots of oppertunites for curves, as you can see in the font.
The lowercase are alternates to the uppercase!
Thanks to all the fontstructers who give me determination and inspiration, such as frongile, riccard0, and elmonique!
