Obviously I want my typeface to have some kind of purpose, not necessarily to be used on an important document or as the new font for IKEA, but I didn’t see any point in creating something that was already in use. When I was conducting research to find inspiration on what kind of typeface I wanted to create, I looked at copious amounts of geometric fonts and there was definitely an empty hole that my typeface could fill.
Most geometric typefaces are all very similar. The most common using thin lines combined with bold shapes, but I could never find one that used repetitive lines in a way that filled out a letter (similar to what I want to achieve). Below you can see a collage of the fonts that I believed to represent geometric typefaces as a whole. As you can see there is definitely nothing out there that is similar to what I am trying to achieve.
