design information
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with putting together model airplanes. Plastic snap-together and cement glued ones... it didn't matter to me. I was obsessed with filing down those little rough edges created by the plastic sprues that held the pieces in place. Who would have guessed those little injection molded connectors would one day influence a typeface. Fully rooted in nostalgia during my adolescence 4 styles were produced from this idea: all intended to have some fun, sit back and use way much too toxic cement glue.
