Ostblock
Ostblock is an OpenType font containing 5 Stylistic Sets that let you easily build 3-dimensional letters.
It is a typeface, influenced by architecture.
The shapes of the letters were inspired by the apartment blocks in the center of East Berlin built in the 60s.
From a bird’s eye view these blocks of concrete look like letters sometimes.
I first draw the letters in 2004 in Freehand but then never created a font with it.
At the time OpenType technology just started its way to fame, but I had not heard about it yet.
Making a font with several layers did mean to create several font files all limited to a maximum of 256 characters. That didn't sounds so funny to me.
Today all the alternate versions come in one easy-to-use font file, supporting a dozen of languages!
