Kryptoid

BACKGROUND: Kryptoids pay tribute to an unlikely range of visual motifs: circuit boards and org charts, chemical structures and family trees, transit maps and crop circles... not to mention their original source of inspiration: shift knob diagrams. Each Kryptoid font contains 300 pictomorphs, and each of those comes in three subtyles — base, exo and cell — for a total of 900 unique glyphs per font. The substyles are accessible as OpenType features, and can be stacked and colored in your favorite OT-friendly drawing application. A 76-page Key Guide is included with the fonts.

KEYWORDS: 3D, abstract, blocks, chemical structures, chemistry, circuitboard, code, complex, cyborg, decorative, dimensional, dingbats, electronic, equipment, experimental, fun, future, futuristic, gear, geometric, grid, hybrid, icons, illustrations, industrial, layered, linking, machine, maps, mathematical, mechanical, modular, molecule, novel, overlap, pattern, pictomorph, pixel, planes, playful, plethoric, program, robot, scifi, shiftknob, spaceage, squares, substyle, symbol, system, techno, technology, transportation
