Lineavec

Lineavec typeface specimen.

I released Lineavec on July 13, 2006 as a paid typeface. The design was influenced by vector arcade games, laser beams, and circuit board traces. I wasn’t referencing a specific vectorbeam title, but I wanted the letterforms to echo the aesthetics of that era; the name itself is a portmanteau of “line” and “vector.” It was created as a single style and supported extended Latin. On June 10, 2021 I issued an update that removed deprecated characters, corrected reversed quotation marks, and adjusted vertical metrics for consistency across browsers. That has been the last revision. Lineavec has not been tied to notable projects or media, but it remains an example of how I experimented with geometric structures and arcade-inspired abstraction.
