No idea what this is, it just evolved ;)

I don't know either Egg. Looks Christian but you get an A anyway for original thinking :)

Something traditionaly from bavaria.

I like it ernie!

I do hope this subject matter isn't considered in any way as provocative. It was all just part of my thought process. I was in the middle of designing a font, which used just a few simple shapes for each character. I was working on a lower case ¨i¨ but was having trouble making it recognizable as such just using one shape (see the red object on the right).
Then along comes the September Scribble and I used it to make the poster design on the left. I chose a font FF Dirty SevenTwo for the text on the right. To match the font style I took the Xara vector into Illustrator to use the roughen tool* to give the design an overall homogeneous feel. The burqa just sort of happened.

*Please can we have a Roughen Tool in Xara?

Looks good to me. Glad the scribble helped you with your project, at least I guess it did. Clever idea for a font. What does the "Roughen Tool" do?

Illustrator's Roughen Tool allows distortion of any vector object.
It's a bit like Xara's Warp Tool on steroids. Or The Deformation Filters in Xara's Photo Tool Tool.

Thanks

I really like that roughen tool idea. Often my vector shapes are to clean & crisp and such a tool would work a treat.

That's exactly right, Egg. The current tools that might do the trick in Xara are not precise enough, and do not produce a vector result.
The Roughen tool in Illustrator has been a feature since the CS6 iteration (2012 - gosh, how time flies), and has proved to be very useful.
CorelDraw too has had a roughen brush tool for some time.

Thanks, Larry! This is all scribble.

It goes back even further than that, CS2 (2005) also had it.

Time flies neven faster than I thought!

Thanks for nice comments, it was fun to do.
