Modular Type Micro-Site

I have created a micro-site to house my modular type experimentation. It is nothing ground-breaking, but I think it is successful. Check it: modulartype.andymangold.com

Modular Type Skeleton

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.
