I am in the midst of creating a modular letter set; our first assignment with House Industies‘ Ben Kiel. This is simply a skeleton I have created to construct the alphabet with as few pieces as possible. Now, I am actually planning on putting this into Flash, creating a symbol in the library for each module, and then editing the individual modules one at a time and watching how they affect the entire alphabet. Hopefully with this process I can create a unique, balanced, and dynamic letter set.
Perhaps I will look into an interesting way to publish the dynamic Flash file, allowing other folks to create their own modules and plug them into the skeleton I have made. Let me know which of the multiple/alternative letter forms are most successful? Let me know in the comments.
I like the two story g and version 4 of s.
Also, modular blackletter: http://www.combinebox.de
@Sebastian – Thanks for the link, black letter is certainly conducive to the modular system.
