This is a typeface I was working on for a while called, “It’s never going to be finished.”
Actually it’s called “Cheree,” as it was named after the song by Suicide of the same title. I created it to force myself to confront the many holes in my understanding of typography. I started with something very modular to flush out the main alphabets as quickly as possible and then slowly started to give each letter individual attention, moving shapes around or altering them so the letter forms started to interact harmoniously. And studying those subtle changes has left me with at least a slightly better understanding of all those high-typography principles.
It’s been a thrill seeing it used a few times in XLR8R magazine, and I’ve enjoyed using it on a couple of my own projects. I am not sure I will ever finish it, but after a long break I think I am going to start working on finishing off those last random characters that no one knows the key strokes for. But why oh why did I make it so thin?
