ISOMETRIC TYPEFACE
I wanted to create to create a typeface that could create depth by using flat planes- similar to that of conventionally flat architecture. To create this effect, I made an isometric typeface. Each character is isometric by its own, so they can be displayed isometrically all together or lined horizontally witch each character displaying isometry alone. Because the typeface is so architecturally planar, different letters can be placed together at different rotations to create a three dimensional structures. Below is my process of creating the typeface as well as the final typeface:

FINAL:
BITMAP VERSION:
I created a bitmap version seeing that many isometric typefaces have a bitmap quality to them. That being, I do like the effect that it creates here. The type looks like it's been zapped with electricity; there's a lot of energy to it. I kept the bitmap only to full isometric view, because having the bitmap version horizontally had too much energy. It became very distracting.
