I'm going blind from over-exposure to pure awesomeness! Unbelievable. My new favorite blackletter. Masterfully crafted. Beyond "practice." Oh, the beauticity. That is so sharp you can get cut just by looking at i- OWW!

Baby, you were born to blackletter.

Damn. The entire set is excellent, but the uppercase blows my mind.

Simply superb. Love the way the Upper Case has a 3D feeling about it. I can understand about the hours & hours to do thing. I've got two Black Letter fontstructs waiting to be completed. The upper case is soooo tricky to get something contemporary, yet still retaining the old style. Ieally brilliant effort kix. 10

Holy Stuttgart, that is beautiful! When you said you were doing blackbetter, you really, really meant it. I'm going to go read the Gutenberg bible now.

... also das kleine zett is ja wohl ein oberhammer ... here you can see, that the old monks drew modular letterforms ;) kix = font-god!

I remember blackbetter, kix! You've come a long way! Extra points for having an umlaut in the font's name. :-)

pure perfection. i wouldn't believe this was made in fontstruct if i didn't see it right here. i guess commercial font designers should finally start to be scared by fontstruct. fonts like this one are gonna make them lose quite a few clients. nur das kleine w juckt mich mit seiner assymetrie irgendwie ein klein wenig im auge... weiss aber nicht ob mich die symmetrische version nicht auch jucken tät... das problem könnt also auch am auge liegen.;)

Comment from kix

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Hi shasta. danke :) das mit dem "w" is so ne sache... ich glaube ich hätte gar nicht mal was gegen assymetrie, aber das wär GEGEN die hauptprämisse dieses fonts. Nämlich der Form der Kalligrafiespitze treu zu bleiben. In diesem fall etwa so geformt, wie ein "accent aigu". Ich finde, für eine schrift, wie diese, eine der wichtigsten eigenschaften, um hinterher auch authentizität auszustrahlen. so... i think it will stay as it is :)

no f***ing way this isn't a top pick yet. I got really disappointed by the recent dedication of the staff. it's like most of the recent really awesome fonts which should have been top picks were overlooked. also the new top pick is kinda boring compared to fonts like this beauty. i'd like to know if there's a way to become a staff member. i check the site like every day but it just isn't as much fun since the top picks just seem to be random because the staff seems to only check the last 2 pages of new fontstructions though they only visit the site twice a month or something. :( About this beauty: Kix, get into real fonts, I know I propably repeat myself, but your talent is overwhelming. There's no way to tell what you'd be able to do with real path constructed fonts. ;)

Ditto what saber said. I can hardly believe you've even shared this one, kix. So first, thanks for sharing. I would have saved this fontstruction for a professional release. Shortly after you shared this, I was checking out other retail blackletter fonts. My main thought was that Underwörld should be among them. It reveals a sophisticated maturity in your work. It's brilliant.

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “Underwörld” is now a Top Pick.

@saberrider you're completely right. there has been a lapse in top picking recently. this is a fantastic example of that! we'll catch up as soon as we can. the great news is, we've got a new staff member on board who will work on the top picks as well, as many other parts of FontStruct. he's just started so please be patient.

There is no doubt this is a landmark FontStruction. The missing Top Pick badge is as much my fault as anyone’s as I haven’t been able to dedicate myself to Gallery maintenance over the last couple of weeks. Fortunately, with the addition of Gustavo to the team, such delays will be much more rare. Congrats on a fine piece of work, kix, and welcome, Gustavo!

Kix, you've outdone yourself! Brilliant fontsetting and the letters themselves are truly magnificent! :) P.S. I didn't know that there is a size limit to the download files! Does anyone know more about this?

And that was made only with Fonstruct? It's a really hard work.

Wow! This is wonderful. And a lot of work. Well balanced contemporary and traditional look. Please look at my (no top pick) "Tension" http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/tensionwhich I thought was quite good until I saw this masterpiece. Respect, kix!

Well done. This is one of the best fonts I have seen, and have seen many, trust me. I connot wait until this font is expanded a bit more (i.e. the characters @#$%^&*() etc). I hope you are proud of your work, because we all are. :)

I'm quite new to FontStruct and am still dabbling my toes in the 'shallow end'. Then I saw this font and realised that there is a whole ocean of possibility. You have created a font that can stand proud against any ... whatever the design medium. It's beautiful - and an inspiration to us newbies.

can you increase the size of the 12 size! is too smal! =[ thanks!

Comment from kix

@darkage: I don't understand

Comment from p2pnut

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

@kix: I suspect DarkAge has come up against the fact that downloaded fonts tend to look rather small in conventional text point sizes (12pt in this case, by the sound of it). @DarkAge: You will just have to use a greater point size to achieve the effect of 'normal' 12pt - experiment with different sizes 'till you get the right look.

I really love this font! It's the most beautiful font ever made on FontStruct (understatement)! Enjoy the sample.

Gosh, my sample sucks. I didn't realize it would display so small! Anyway, it's amazing how small you managed to make this! It's only like 15 pixels high! Great work, Kix.
