Working on a display typeface...

[Distello]

As part of a project at college were tasked with creating a typeface, I've been working on these for a few days - just trying to experiment with various styles.
Bearing in mind ofcourse Im hoping for it to be a display typeface (ie not for use at smaller sizes like Word etc..) what do you guys think?




^This was the first idea, using a circle for just about every letter, in the whole doc image above you can see that I've experimented with the kerning and they seemed to work quite well being put overlapping each other.


Second shot - still need to work on a few letters,
Below is the first few letters of what I originally did using this kind of idea, but after a few weeks went past I couldn't remember how to achieve the same effect xD



Third go, this time the idea was to have a more simple typeface, one that would work a bit better at a smaller size in comparison to the last two, but I also wanted it to be fairly eroded with rough edges - solution? loads and loads of points.

And finally two quicker experiments, in the one above I wanted to create something that blends a script font in with a graffiti style.

Seen this done a few times before, the idea behind it was to create an entire typeface consisting of vertical and diagonal lines, giving it quite a futuristic, almost 'fast' look.

i like the 2nd pic the best man you can tell what the letters say and then they look cool as well good work man

This one is by far best http://www.gfxportfolio.co.uk/868iugkjg.JPG
It reminds me of ratchet and clank.

I don't see the rest being that useful, too messy for my taste and they wont do that well at smaller sizes.

ps. the last one could turn out pretty cool, looking really futuristic and clean.

most are tooo distorted / messy seems like brush on top of brush into a letter. i personally like the 1st and 4th ones.
