Globes - a typeface made of a point-grid

Globes is a typeface, inspired by old Blackletter typefaces, remixed to a modern look using a point-grid. It contains 191 characters at the Moment, including special characters, numbers and letters with accents and umlauts. The following alphabet is a glimpse of the forms, created with the rule to only use alternating point-lines - the concept of the typeface.
One of the cool features of the typeface: It pretty much consists of a lot of small pieces - the dots that make up all the characters. This allows me to do funky things, such as the following short video.
There seems to be a problem with the resolution, i am working on it
The following segment is a poster for our german friends, describing hoe the typeface came about and some of its features like the different sizes. The printet poster has the format DIN A1.
