lordampersandAn alphabet - sketch 1
A family commission, not sure what I'm going to make out of these 28 chaps.
An alphabet - ink 1 + detail (A-D)
Why simple letters if you can have 🤖 ROBOT letters 🤖?!
An alphabet - ink 2 + detail (E-H)
I for one welcome our new robot typeset.
If you have any ideas for machine/robot details, let me know. I'm running out of variance!
An alphabet - ink 3
Sorry, forgot to remove the pencil marks on the new letters.
An alphabet - ink 5 + detail Q-T
An alphabet - ink 6 + detail U-X
An alphabet - ink 6 + detail (YZ-&)
Not yet finished! I'll add some shading to round this off.

I decided to go with a blueish shading and front lighting. This was a fun project, and a nice opportunity to use many reference pictures I took last week.

Eric Lathrop@lordampersand I thought it was cool before the shading, and I like it even more afterwards.

@lordampersand would this be free to use in a no-commercial context?
John Conway@lordampersand I love this font and I am thinking hard about where I would use it, (how will it be available?).
@me Thank you! I used to do fonts in the mid-90s, so I might publish this as an OTF if there's any interest. As this is a commission, I'll also need to ask my client first if that's ok for them.
charlag@lordampersand I lvoe it!

Mastodon•ART 🎨 Curator@lordampersand This reminds me of an art project I did in school for the Eisteddfod where I drew the alphabet as fish :D
@Curator
I drew a lot of alphabets in school too, so the forms still come quite easy. Fish, eh? That's a cute idea!
