Very pretty, very unreadable. The purpose of words - communication. If you can't read them, why use them?

Because its not meant to be words, its meant to be a typographic piece, a design.

Let me disagree. Typography isn't about making the letters beautiful, it's about making them look like they mean what they say

It's a shame that you end conversation without making a statement

I dont get why people are having a problem with reading it, its meant to be a graphical font/logotype

Tho, the C part for 'Type' looks pretty weird with the 'g' hanging the way it is.

Nevermind, its nice, releasing it as a full typeface?

The words appeared fairly clear to me, but only because of the deviation title. The balance of the text is amazing considering how complicated it is!

revenantprime [2008-03-30 17:26:39 +0000 UTC]

good work. I think some of the letters are a bit too ambiguous tho so that if I didn't know what it already said it would be rather hard to read.

That said, it's very well designed.

milktoday [2008-03-30 01:11:34 +0000 UTC]

I don't know why people have such a hard time figuring it out. Great flow, and the minimal use of different shapes to create the letters gives a really coherent look to it all.

Overall its not a great peice of typo. the communication of the leters is purely not there. I finally made the letters out after 15 minutes. I think you could have done more to make it readable while maintaining that look.

That is so funky cool! I love the connections.

I am currently studying Visual Communications at UniSA. I am wondering what you learnt in Uni? Was it a Bachelor of Creative Arts? I was going to do that, but I am glad I didn't. Purely because my current Uni looks funky....

hyperetic [2008-03-27 19:53:54 +0000 UTC]

After careful study, I was able to make out the letters. It was a little hard at first. If making the words a part of the design was important, then I agree they should have been more readable. But if they were just meant as design elements, I think you were very successful with symmetry, contrast, positioning, and noticeability. Is that a commercial font or something of your own? If its your own, copyright it right away. Its pretty cool and works well for your design.
