Typographical Map

Working with type, I think it is always interesting to see how far letterforms can be forced before they become unreadable. Add too many details or abstract the form too much, and you have an unrecognizable mess. Rachel Young, of  Goollery.org started from scratch and made her letterforms out of google maps. Presenting all sorts of interesting experiments, Goollery showcases inventive ways to push google’s technologies to the edge. This typeface is just one small portion of the site. I’m just wondering when I can get this as a TrueType.
