Does anybody remember a piece of work a while ago that was made up entirely of black and white diagonal lines running in opposite directions?
It made up a square typeface and was quite hard to read and almost hurt your eyes, I can't find it for the life of me!!!
If not then any type that you need to really strain to see, or work hard to figure it out would be good.
Thanks in advance!

David, whats you'd do is:
Dots:
Create a series of dots all the same size then either scale some of them down or add a stroke to make the optical difference.Lines:
Create your grid of lines in white over your background with say a 1pt stroke, then group. Then copy the group and place on a new layer, make these 2pt. Put your text over the 2pt strokes and create a clipping mask.Or try out scriptographer for the dots one, although it'll take a fair bit of dicking around to get it right.
