TenPoint specimen from Muirmcneil

A modular type system by MuirMcNeil built from a single circular disc cell repeated on a fixed geometric grid, producing seven sizes that range from near-illegible textile-like patterns to rudimentary readability.

About

Each of the seven sizes — indexed 01 through 08 by cell-count repetitions defining body height — behaves differently: the smallest reduce text to an abstracted linear weave, while larger sizes gradually resolve into identifiable letterforms. Every size ships as five variant typefaces, including a compound-path ready-to-use version and four decomposed layer sets that sit in perfect registration, enabling extensive opacity, layering and positional effects. The system is particularly suited to motion graphics, where precise registration allows controlled transitions across the scale of abstraction.

Classification

TenPoint is a strictly modular display system built on a geometric grid of circular disc cells, placing it firmly in the display category with a modular/experimental subcategory due to its systematic, rule-based construction and extreme abstraction at small sizes.
