Another hexagon font test.

Trying out the hexagonal typeface as a poster.

Hex-font test 4

Trying out type on a hexagonal grid.

Extending from my last post on isometric pattern-based typography, I tried it again but making the letters larger this time.  Although it’s still awkward in areas, I found it gets easier the more triangles you have at your disposal.

I’ve been meaning to experiment with type on isometric patterns.  I just quickly tried this out last night, so you can see some letters need work done, but others work well.

Started again with this font.  Looks a lot better and I tried it out as the cover page design idea.  Still needs some touching up (some letters look a bit dodgy) but I’m making progress…

A bit of a failed attempt at an idea I had for the front cover title text.  Too many inconsistencies and I will make it more blocky instead so it’s inline with the book style.

Here’s a typeface I tried out using rings/circles as a guide.  I know I said I’d lay off circles for a bit but I really want to experiment more with this whole circle typeface thing…  This was originally the style I came up with for the kid’s book cover, but as you can see it’s not really an ideal typeface for that kind of audience.  I think I’ll develop this a bit more, then I’ll work on the other idea I had for the book cover type.
