I released Battlemaze on January 29, 2012. The name was chosen to suggest the feel of a battle-themed video game without referring to any specific title. The design has occasionally been compared to mazes, but that wasn’t my intention. Instead, it was closer in spirit to the NASA worm logo—wide, squared strokes forming continuous paths, with a heavier and bolder treatment.

I designed it as a usable display typeface rather than a novelty. The only experimental feature was the autoflipping capital B, which helped avoid gaps in certain contexts. Otherwise, the design stayed straightforward, aimed at producing a consistent grid-like appearance.

On June 25, 2021, I updated Battlemaze to modernize its technical features. That revision removed deprecated characters, improved spacing, corrected vertical metrics, and added fractions. There have been no further updates since, and the typeface has not been taken up in notable projects.
