i must say, i enjoy every bit of this type. good stuff!
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I’ll be sure to continue to show different works that utilize this type. Hope you’ll continue to follow the development.
how neat is that!?
Hi,
Cool looking font. I have in fact been working on a very similar idea, more in the slab serif direction. We could probably argue for days about who was the originator, but here is my first post on typophile from March 2005 =)

Alas, the images are dead, except one. I didn’t have “overlapping” foldings back then, which you seem to have implemented before me — very successfully on top of that.
One image here:

I should have a fully consistent caps-only “working” version within two months. I’ll check your site then
There’s really nothing to argue about. Considering yours is a slab serif and mine a script they look nothing like each other, nor is either the first time a face has been made from a “strip of paper”.
Unfortunately, we are the byproducts of the design zeitgeist which is made painfully clear through the influence of the internet. It makes it that much more difficult to create something truly new. All we can do is try.
I am interested in how you “automated” the process of generating this type though.
I guess I was refering more to the Security Strip Typeface…. Anyway, I’m using scriptographer

Dear JK,
Your superb title design “WELDERLY” in today’s NYT Magazine caught my eye! I searched your name in NYT Search, but the answer surprisingly was “0″. Google search brought your site easily, and I am just going through it – and will surely spend time to enjoy your handiwork & art!
I am a retired senior executive settled in Bangalore, India (as you may get details from my Webpage ID given) and wonder if you permit others to use your varied scripts or fonts. I would love to use it in my Homepage.
In any case, my message is just from an admirer of excellence to obviously a master in his/her own rights!
Best wishes,

Thanks. As far as using my typefaces, feel free to use away. I’d ask that credit is given where appropriate. Though, as I feel like I am constantly saying… I don’t have any usable fonts. Everything exists as Illustrator paths and needs to be finessed to a great extent to be able to actually get any work done. Maybe I should start putting links to Illustrator files up though… hmmm.
Oh, and if there’s a person out there that wants to intern and make some usable fonts, send me an electronic mail, cause I have work for you.
This is pretty off-driven.
Off-driven is an adjective I have just created by literally translating the German “abgefahren” (from “fahren” -> drive, “ab-” -> off; “abgefahren” is the past perfect tense). A proper translation would be something like “far out”
Wow, I’m astounded by your works! Did you use any mathematical formulas for this project? I’m a math-wiz. I see unique patterns in the layout for each letter and when they are stacked on to each other in order. Keep up the good work as always.
Initially I didn’t use any math to work on the type, but as things progressed, I used a slight amount of geometry to work out where I needed to fold the next segment.
Math-whizzes rule!
no, no, no, thank YOU for this brilliant stuff.
I’m not a math-wiz, but I’m definitely a math nerd and my mind was in pattern mode looking at the flattened strips stacked. awesome.
wow. I just stumbled across your site today, and I just like to say how refreshing it is to see a selection of projects with a real meaning behind them. With soooo many portfolio sites of graphic designers around ( i only refer to graphic designer as Im one myself)which just spew the same empty shite with the lastest cool font and obligatory circle/overprint, your work really took a while to look at and think about and thats great. It makes me want to think about my designs, why im doing them and what the point (if there is any) of doing them is. If it was a rule that graphic projects had to have this much thought behind, it would make for a waaay more interesting area!
Sorry for the rant… I just felt compelled to!
Well done, amazing work.

lol r u german? or can u just speak it?
coz one image is sayin :”dankeschön”
While I am of Germanic ancestry, I am 100% All-American. Right down to the fact that I only know one language. I do have some German friends though, which is why I made the ‘thank you’ text.
I love your typeface. Do you let folded for public use. How can I download ? I can pay for
my personal use. Please reply me as soon as posibble…
Thank you
awesome!!this is really impressive.I also concentrate on doing scripture.
I´m interested in everything about the history, the art, the artistic advancement of scripture and for a long time I´ve been trying to find a satisfying and artistically high-value way to get scipture out of the two-dimensional into space.as far I failed.and therefore I´m faszinated by the way you went about that subject.and I have to confess that i´m kind of jealous about not beeing that one who hit on it and discovered scripture in this way.
I’m not sure this is what the Apostles had in mind.
brilliant!
