Typefaces: Planning

 Initially, I scamped this design, which i named Tread Sans-Serif. It was inspired by the interlocking, constructed aesthetic of the tank tread on my moodboard, which I think suits the whole nature of mechanics really well.

But then I decided to take a step up from that, and produce a set of components so that I could literally build Tread Sans-Serif. I shall now clean up this image in Photoshop, and proceed to build the Alphabet!

EDIT: I tried using the template for building characters, but found it to be much too laborious, and the aesthetic seemed rather bland and repetitive. But, here is how far I got into building my initial alphabet.
