Urinal
On a winter evening Peter Stahmer went to a pub. Standing at the urinal the perforated filter in the drain catched his eye and encouraged him to deal with perforation patterns. Next morning he awoke and thought: I really should do a grid font. So he remembered the form of the perforation (not very well) and started to draw. First releases still were dotted but soon he connected them, you still see this in the tip of the line.
The hexagon form is giving the typeface its special look. The final look he developed violating my hexagon rule (he introduced horizontals and setted a baseline) to get shapes being more clear. So the hexagon no longer a prison but a common origin.
