Uneradbale
Interesting video about how Wim Crouwel's new alphabet made a resurgence in England in the 1990's. He also makes some comments about the typeface being "unreadable" and purely an excercise.
I actually disagree with him and think it is quite readable even with some of the more abstract letters such as the a or the m. On whole words: the human brain can piece words together simply by the beggining or end letter without paying too much attention to the middle.
But hey he's the typographer, or just modest possibly.
In all seriousness I can't see it working well in an everyday setting.
P.S. the title was deliberate.
