Notch Eight is a modular typeface inspired by railroad bogies - the wheeled platform on which the train cars ride. The flowing lines and wheels themselves make up the modules for this typeface. Angles are pulled from bogie edges, making this a more unique type design. The curves are built off of the in-set sections of the train wheels. When a circle is made, a small design of the center wheel hub will be added, giving this typeface more diversity between letters. Flat pieces are given special treatment as well: Verticals mimic the massive springs, while horizontals are side views of actual rails. The numbers are inspired by railroad crossing wig-wags and are built of only straight lines and circles.
