This monotype typeface created by Synoptic Office, where the height of the letterforms is determined by how often a letter is used, is definitely a looker!
As described on Synoptic’s website, “this typeface maps the rhythmic ebb and flow of English.”

Nice typeface by Travis Kochel.
“It does feel rather magical: you type numbers, it creates graphics. The formatting for all three fonts is to type the numbers as a sum, with the numbers separated by plus symbols:
20+40+10+30for example. The fonts have a set of basic numbers and letters (resembling a compressed Trade Gothic) you can use with ligatures turned off to type in and check your numbers. Turning the ligatures on transforms your numbers into charts”
The Men’s Room, a Manchester-based charity, approached Typocom to create a new identity and branding. The charity deals with sensitive and personal issues effecting young men. They required the logotype to be visually appealing to a young male audience, whilst being discrete and unobtrusive.
The identity was created around the concept of a room where men could meet and discuss any problems in a safe and understanding environment. This is reflected in the logotype’s strong and solid shape and accompanying typeface.
