The font takes its cues from jazz funk posters and album covers. 
I started with the four letters for my logo which stand for Scott Oldson Graphic Designer. ​​​​​​​
SUBZ proceeds from the dimensions of the base "O" circle and keeps that character proportion for much of the alphabet uppercased A-Z. After passing by an "H" that looked suspiciously like a TIE fighter, I just accepted that some letters did not lend themselves well to curvilinear strokes or stems, following the "O" curves, so after the "Q" I had a base rectangle for the "L" and "F." An upstart "y" made its way in since Fontself would not allow a descender that long, and likewise a lowercased "b," not so uncommon these days since we've got belk's wordmark and the likes of topeka and all-lowercased fonts. 
As it stands, the set works as an uppercase display novelty. For the future there will be numbers [which should be fun] and perhaps some glyphs.
