What do you mean by "easy to read in a paragraph" ? I can smell the perfume of boring copies of arial- helvetica-bodoni etc in this fontout

@abneurone // Then you have the right not to participate if you feel that way. I meant a font that looks good when in a paragraph. Sorry, I cannot tailor a sitewide competition to a single FSor's opinion. If you'd like to participate, we'd love it! :) P.S. Good job on FO1!

I like it! What is that thing at the end of the sample?

Thank you. This a graphic counterpoint to the text. This is an abstract image which can make you think to church stained glass, to chemical elements, to cells before dividing, to beehive bees constructions, to geometric painting... let your imagination flow... followed by a needle (or a thermometer ?) (actually an "l" in this font.

Do we make a new font for this? Or can we use a font that's been made before FontOut2? (I assume the former)

This is a little harder. I don't have any font designed for paragraph, instead designed for logos and big sized usage... @neurone: Nice sample, dude :) From this we can conclude that a paragraph doesn't only can be filled with "boring" fonts, a "crazier" fonts can make a paragraph more interesting!

I agree that this didn't sound as interesting... Until AFT made it so!

@u126 // Either one. You choose. @everyone else // Well, should I change it? I didn't want it to be another "design the most beautiful glyph", so any suggestions?

This FontOut was a flop. Sorry. I won't be able to FontStruct for the next week, so I can't do the next FontOut. I will attemp to hand the reins off to Yautja temporarily. If you don't want to Yautja then I will ask someone else. Yautja (along with Abneurone, cablecomputer and CMunk) helped me through the beginnings of FS Forum.
