I'm working on this project intermittently since some months. It is based on a blackletter but y try to construct each letter with some geometrical shape, giving it a more contemporary aspect. My first idea was a whole family for an edition project in wich each music style (it was about music festivals) was accompagnied by its own type variation. Something like Peter Bil'ak's "History" project — in all humility! –.
The structure stay the same (generally the vertical strokes), but terminals and bowls change. This was a first sketch for it.

O hai, I hadn't seen this here yet, Jean! Really a fascinating experiment, I especially love the lowercase. Added to WLT.
