This is based on the truss system in old dutch colonial houses that I've seen around the states - I've put variations on some of the letters I wasn't sure I liked.
Type.fwis.com is for me to test myself and see if I can design a new typeface every day for 31 days. You will be able to critique me and download an EPS of the file. This will likely end in tears and embarrassment for myself.
I will not convert any of these to real fonts as I have neither the time nor the knowledge.
For the true-blue typography geeks who are ATypI members and are deeply offended by my blunders, I am quite sorry and you should feel free to hurl insults and old issues of Emigre.
Please let me know if you want to use any of these in a project, I would be honored. It is very likely I will give permission in exchange for a copy of the final piece. See the About section for more details, or contact me.

very strange, yet readable. It'd be interesting to see it in use on an architectural poster or something. Good stuff so far...
