Deaf Metal
Yet another font I created for the BASIN package around 2006 that wasn’t so much designed as burst forth as metal music should.
The glyphs are overly bold, angular, and overtly aggressive. I revised a few of them since the 2006 release to fix some height issues with some of the lower-case letters.
The final result works better for large runs of text than you’d expect given the style but it works best used sparingly.
In 2020 I added a new attempt at the style. It’s an interesting different take using small caps for lower-case and is actually based on the square version which was itself an attempt at Soviet poster typography.

I designed this font in 2019 in BASIN as a very bold and angular font.
It works great for titles and headings and can be used for descriptive prose providing the screen isn’t too fuzzy.
Razor
Inspired by the Psygnosis logo from Amiga games of old as well as some of the title typography from the gorgeous Shadow of the Beast II this font came out surprisingly well given the constraints.
While the font can be too difficult to read for large blocks of text it shines on status and list screens as well as titles and menus.
The alternative ‘Razor Rust’ is actually a much earlier iteration of this font (it went through so many) that actually complements it nicely and has a much rougher feel.
