METABOLIST TYPEFACE

Typeface Design based upon an architectural movement in 
Japan during the 1960's called Metabolism. It attempted to merge architectural megastructures with ideas of biological
and organic growth. One famous example of this is the
Nagakin Capsule Tower.

The basic idea behind this typeface is that it starts with a stripped-back framework, then block elements can be
added until it fits the purpose of the user. In Metabolism 
form doesn't follow function, but rather exists in preparation
for future functional demands and then adapts accordingly.
