not specifically, but i did see the similarity.

it's actually, as a mentioned, an attempt to get the
usualy writing systems ( see
http://www.geocities.com/bnathyuw/images/bac1.gif ) to
fit into a horizontal format . . . but i like
coincidences !

And I noticed the similarity to AvantGarde

it's essentially rotations of 6 c ( o and v, with
little extra bits added where necessary . . .

i don't seem to be typical of this list in that i use
corel draw to make fonts. not sure it's the best
software ( actually, i know it isn't . . . you can't
reedit a glyph once you've saved it ; you have to
install the font, import the glyph, convert it to
curves, THEN jiggle around with it before overwriting
the previous copy ! ), but it's what i've got, and it
has the nice property that you can keep all the glyphs
you're using on your workspace and then export them to
the ttf file once you've finished with them. anyway,
i've got a copy of it from work, so i didn't have to
pay or cope with 'register now or else . . . '
messages.
