typeface "FF Polymorph":
FF Polymorph is inspired by characters from all over the world. Therefore characters with the shape of Latin letters were selected from the Unicode Standard. About 500 characters of 43 scripts can be read as Latin letters. A great help for research was the website www.decodeunicode.org
According to their formal characteristics many of the 500 selected
characters were divided into four groups (Decoration, Serif, Loop and Interruption). The result is a basic font, that turns into four styles or rather four directions (north, east, south, west), which are inspired by the preceding classification. Every font has an alternative set. This abstract code can be layered above its legible equivalent or just used for decoration. (2006/2007)
