From My Pieced Alphabet:

Ogden

In many alphabets round letters, such as o, b, and p, are based on circles. I want to try an alphabet based on an octagon instead.

Most letters in this alphabet fit a 4 x 4 grid. However, letters with an ascender have an additional unit added to the top, and letters with descenders have a unit added to the bottom.




The illustration below shows how I determine the piecing for the t, step by step.

I chose the word "triple" to demonstrate the t in use.

Notice that the i, p, l, and e are all spaced 1 unit apart.

The t, on the other hand , is only half a unit from the r, which is only half a unit from the i. This is done to compensate for the large open spaces that are part of these letters.
