Fnord's design has been strongly influenced by the complex, thought-provoking and naughty works of authors Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea from the 1970s. I was re-reading their work while sketching the initial letterforms and understood that some of the percentages and angles were corresponding with some styles that run through the books-- particularly the numbers 5, 17, 23, 40 and 93, which are essential to this typeface household's spacing and geometry.
I found it both really intriguing and enjoyable to play with a specific style and function for creating this typeface. I make certain you will enjoy working with it in your own style projects.
