For this experimental font assignment, i use bicycle for the theme that i made. So, this bike font looks like the parts of a bicycle that are separated and then the parts are recombined again to form a letter, but it does not follow the rules of the bicycle. Therefore, the font does not look like letters in general. I use all parts of the bicycle the main parts until the detail parts. The main parts of the bicycle is the parts that we all know that it is the parts of the bicycle like the wheel, seat or saddle, chain and the chain rings, handlebars, pedal, and the brake. The detail parts of the bicycle is the parts that most people does not know about this parts of the bicycle like burrs, stem, seat clamp, seat post, pedal crank arm, disk brakes, wheel hub, brake pad, rake, caliper brake, rear sprockets, brake cable, frame, suspension fork, shiftier, hub, rear derailleur, front derailleur, cassette, and many more.
I use the main parts of the bicycle because i want people to know at the first sight that this font use bicycle for the theme. I use the detail parts too, because i want people to know that bicycle has many parts, not only the main parts like wheel, chain and the chain rings, seat or saddle, handlebars, pedal, and brake. But the detail parts like burrs, stem, seat clamp, seat post, pedal crank arm, disk brakes, wheel hub, brake pad, rake, caliper brake, rear sprockets, brake cable, frame, suspension fork, shiftier, hub, rear derailleur, front derailleur, cassette are also important for bicycle and we must not underestimated that parts, because the detail parts are the parts that can unite the other parts so it becomes a bicycle.

For my references, i use bicycle parts and then i recombined it to form a letter. At first, i look at fonts that recombined things to form a letter. Like glasses, stationary, clothes, and many more. And then i look at fonts that recombined tools like hammer, spike, screwdriver, gear, wrench and many more. Finally i found a font that use some parts of bicycle and the font is combine with sans serif font. Then i think about bicycle parts and i want to recombine that bicycle parts to form a letter. But that bike font that i made is not fix yet. I want to add something that can make that bike font to be my own experimental font. I think i will use the chain rings to make my own experimental font and i will add the parts of bicycle like the wheel, gear, and many bicycle parts for this bike font. And then for the shape of the experimental font, i think i will make a font shape that describes bicycle like fast, sporty, or adventure. As the alternative, i will make semi handwriting font, i will use the chain rings for the curves.
