WIREFRAME 1.2

WIREFRAME was inspired by the "lost" Letraset font BOMBERE, designed by Carla Bombere.

Like BLOCKUP, Bombere apparently did not make the transition from dry-transfer (rub-down) letters into digital type.

WIREFRAME is a freeware font which includes numbers, international characters, caps, punctuation, and punctuation.

Rather than draw this font directly from Bombere, I started again, studying what made it work. I used the basic letterforms of the classic Franklin Gothic, refashioning the G, the 1, and some others. But Franklin Gothic would still make a good companion font.

This font uses the principle of the NECKER CUBE, creating a neat visual ambiguity. "A drawing of a wire cube...which spontaneously reverses in depth...
was first described by...L. A. Necker...in 1832." (Oxford Companion to the Mind, R.L.Gregory, editor).
