Hard kerning in this one, you see! But it's my continuous battle with fonts like this (two bricks x-height, filters 2:2). A lot of alternates in the lower case to improve the kern. Fontstructing.

Interesting way to tackle the kerning problem. And the way you use such small dimensions: Great. Love it.

Wow!

I'm amazed at the magnificent level of style and finesse achieved so few bricks. I am a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to using 2:2 filters and small grids - but I can appreciate the skill that you (and others) put in when creating theses tiny jewels.

Brilliant work. The K,M,N,Q are my favorites, but all glyphs are very good.
Don't worry about kerning. There is no such feature in Fontstruct yet, so don't lose much sleep over it. You can, however, do full kerning in Glyphs or FLS, if you want, or use the "optical" setting in InDesign. The latter doesn't replace kerning per se, but could be a quick fix for short text strings. 10/10

Photoshop also has optical kerning nowadays.

@laynecom & Yautja: Thanks, compañeros. I appreciate a lot your encouraging words and supporting comments always.
@p2pnut:Thank you very much, mas*er. I have the same sensation everytime when I'm trying to use big grids, then I look at your superb glyphs and I still working. Thanks again.
@Frodo7: Thank you for your kindly words, dear compañero. Thanks also for the comment about how to improve the kern. I don't use these programs now, but i will use it in the next future and your comments well be precious, I'm sure.
@meek: Thanks boss, I'm still a learner here. Don't worry, but this "personal battle" with the kern seems very funny to me, it makes me think in other points of view and other solutions for the glyphs. Much more than a part of the problem, this is a part of the solution for me, and I like it.

Excellent, once again you have come up with some beautiful glyphs and kerning solutions.

Comment by four 25th february 2015

@meek: Thanks, boss! This font was an unexpected junction between curves and lines (this is always the battle) and it works very well here, IMHO.
@four: Thank you very much dear compañero, and congrats for your new and charming exhibit. Resonance, Papercut Installation and Display Font

Can you or somebody else make a font in Hebrew, like אבגדהוזחטיכךלמםנןסעפףצץקרשת?

Comment by צוריאל 9th july 2015

Hi You can find Hebraic Fonts already in Fontstruct like this one. Just type "Hebrew" on Fs browser. Elmoyenique is spanish and could not, i think, design an Hebraic font
