  • Perhaps it is lack of motivation, or running out of ideas, or over abundance of streaming services, or the creeping up of age, or just plain laziness, but making new fonts gets harder and harder each day. And finish.

I suspect its just a case of ring rust my friend, I've been there as well. My skills and accuracy are through the roof when I'm 7 days into a nonstop FontStruct rampage. But when I take a week off it always feel like I have to recalibrate again. Thats the downside of being a top athlete.

That being said, I do think there is potential in this font for sure. At first glance it might appear messy and kind of rushed, but when taking a closer look, the clever thinking that went into the design starts to emerge.
The grudgy contours really give these future retro lettering that extra touch of soul. Blended nicely into subtle hints of art-deco flavours, and conbined with the jaggy contours it even qualifies as comic style font. Very neat.
But another even more amazing quirky little cool detail that I very much admire are those occasional (I guess intentional) somewhat poor kerning pairs and coliding letter parts. Taken that this usually is a bad thing, in respect to this design concept it really does justice to the overall characteristic nature of the piece. Don't u dare to polish it up or refine those metric properties Mr.
Also very good job with the super subtle yet stylish designed uppercase. Uc and Lc perfectly compliment one another.

Complains of having a hard time getting things done, but if you'd ask me I'd say you've struck gold here my friend.

Of the latest "3 in a row" fonts this is the one I like the most, especially the lowercase ones. But I notice the font is somewhat inconsistent, lacking in some inner unity, with repeating elements that aren't necessary and other elements that don't repeat and should (and that can be applied tangentially to your other two recent fonts in greater or less degree; and it is something that I notice due to your great attention to detail, Master). I'm not saying that the font should be this way or another, nothing is further from my thoughts, I'm just commenting on my opinion. I write this using my brand new computer for the first time, so I promise a somewhat more detailed examination as soon as I have time and it is possible. Always is magnific see your designs here!
