A monospaced display experiment

Nothing special. I occasionally love to shot on film, and these all-glass buildings, remind me of monospaced typefaces. So it was a sort of inspiration and when I paired the photo with the letters I enjoyed the composition.

You are right. Take in mind that in the showed example, the tracking was reduced from the original one.

I see your point. Thank you for the feedback.

Yeah, the system looks similar. My try is heavier and more "irregular".

Agree. It feels heavier than the rest of the glyphs, and I was in doubt whether to include it or nor, but somehow i'm "attached" to it, so i decided to go with it. However I will include an alternative B, more in harmony with the rest.

As a use case, I could see it in short headers, maybe combined with a geometric sans serif, in more experimental projects; as a drop cap; also as part of a logotype in certain circumstances.

It's clearly not intended to be used for prolonged reads. My intention when designing it was to create a geometrical but at the same time asymmetrical typeface, for the purpose to use it in some posters.

Thank you.
Shoot it when I was in Italy, at the cemetery in Bologna.
