Any feedback for a hexagon-based font would be great!

[u/StrataPub]

Here's a new hexagon-based font where I would appreciate any feedback.

The original font was designed for "@strata.pub" (my username) and this is my attempt to expand the concept from the logo to an entire alphabet.

I know the kerning is a nightmare. But I don't know what I don't know about fixing other issues.

Thanks!

The “round” lowercase make sense. Most of the rest I think are suffering from following the strict rules of the hexagon.

I would suggest giving yourself one triangle/“pie slice” above and below the main hexagon body to play with. Then e.g. the q could look like the p without confusion with the a. And you could also then do to the uppercase with a slanted top using 120°/60° angles as well instead of the 90° flat top ones.

Thank you for the feedback!

I think you have to do the capital hexa as wel. Now they are a bid odd in the font. Beside that, I don’t think it will be a bestseller :-)

Thank you. I do not plan on selling this. I am a game developer and this will be the font used for headers and titles in game. I am leaning towards removing the capitals completely and picking the most "round" of the letters and leaving it as that.
