New Samuel: a font derived from Morse code (opens in new tab)

Most of the letters are readable. However, 'P' looks exactly like what I'd expect 'E' to look like.

This presents a problem.

Interesting font, but as an radio operator, no one actually writes nor reads code in it's "visual" (dit/dah) form. Messages are written or typed directly to or from English. Also after a while you don't hear individual characters as much as words and phases similar to a "real" spoken language. (Except for call signs and such...)

Interesting and a clever system, but kind of nasty to read. They probably had fun developing it, though :)

Au contraire, I quite liked the font's look and feel. It would definitely look lovely on poster titles and the like.

As much as I liked the font, I also liked the approach behind building the font. Algorithm is not the first word one associates with fonts (aesthetics is the word that comes to mind first) and I was pleasantly surprised to read the algorithmic approach behind the design too. :-)

Thanks for sharing it with us.
