Author's note
Chipboard Black font is a bold techno typeface designed by Farran Phlwyd Lee.
Designing within the constraints of a full square, mostly crafting the letter by cutting into the square, I used a combination of fractional proportions with eye-guided adjustments to produce forms which ride the edge between nonsensical boxes and letters determinable by holistic recognition of the word.
If you can't read it, try gazing at an entire word with soft eyes and let your brain's pattern-recognition hardware take over the deciphering process for you.
Alternatively, please report to me if any of the glyphs are simply too-far removed from acceptable alphabetic paradigms. :))))
Font includes Latin and Greek characters, numbers, and most combined diacritic letters. There are very few symbols and punctuation included thus far, but more are on the way. There are no lowercase characters: typing in lowercase will print the uppercase glyphs.
This is an early build and has not been extensively tested.
I am aware that 6 looks uncomfortably akin to G; also B to 3.
Imagined use-case: technological fantasy artwork, writing on machines, neon lighting, spacecraft, etc.
