iQ font: the making of

iQ font - When driving becomes writing / Full making of from wireless on Vimeo.

Typographers Pierre & Damien (plmd.me) have combined two of my favorite things, driving and letters, to create iQ font: a font that uses the tracks left by “driving like you stole it” to create the letterforms. The technology is pretty cool, although the rather static-looking script that results is a little disappointing, but what can you expect from a minicar?
