Illusion Letters & Symbols

A pair of slightly-serifed fonts based on the concept of impossible figures such as tri- and four-bars (see the page on Oscar Reutersvärd, Bruno Ernst, & Others for many examples of these objects), though there are a few figures that, because of their simplicity, don't form impossible junctions even with their lines extended. Note that these will only work correctly when the kerning option is selected in your Word processor / DTP program (In MS Word, this is via Format | Font | Character Spacing, and apply to 12pt and above), and not all character pairs are kerned so please read the descriptions.

Other Fonts

At one time or another I suppose everyone who designs (or in my case messes around with) fonts creates something like this, so this is my tuppence worth. Available in 1 (normal : AaBb), 2 (a sort of pcb-track : CcDd), Outline1 (fine edge : EeFf), & Outline2 (filled & edge : GgHh).
