Your article has got me thinking about Herbert Bayer’s 1925-ish Universal Font, designed for sighted use but considered ground-breaking for its ‘single case’ design approach, as much as its geometrical styling. The few fonts you’ve shown were developed many decades before and there’s some really interesting approaches to their design.
Fantastic writeup! This + your "Mongrel Type" post have been a joy to read. Excited to see what you post next! Any plans to translate this from analog to digital?

Thanks for the response, Graham.
