Checco pays homage both to the elegant circuitry of microchips and the streamlined forms of art deco. This sample of Checco shows the strong contrast between the tall capitals and the lowercase letters. Checco was used as the display font in the book Benjamin's Blind Spot.

TriHexal is a font in which all the letters take the form of triangles. It was designed especially so that it would be possible to create geometric forms from words typed in this font. For this reason, each letter has two fors, an upward-pointing triangle, and a downward-pointing triangle. The fact that the base form is a triangle makes it easy to create hexagons with these letters; hence the name "TriHexal." The "image" above right is actually this poem: "today / allgods / aregone / where"

The Cross font was designed specially for use in a Web project, the X-Art Foundation's blast5drama. The letterforms contain only right angles for crispness in a pixel-based environment. This cryptic font is named for Marlena Corcoran's story, "Crossroads," as each letter itself forms a miniature crossroads.
