I think what I like best about your work is that it seems you have a fairly good idea of what the finished font will look like before you start. I admire that.
@djnippa: Great suggestion. You have a special gift for turning alphabet lemons into alphabet lemonade. I appreciate your editorial skills.
@thal: Thanks! This one came together quite quickly. I saw the Poff font and thought, "I bet this would look cool with this kind of treatment". Beyond that I just wanted it to have a happy summery vibe. That more then anything influenced each specific character. For instance, I thought using a lowercase 'i' was more 'poppy' then an uppercase 'I'.
Another beautiful fontstruction by afrojet. I really agree with thamalic. There are no letters that seem to be out of place or random. You just know how to work with white space and weights. For a trained eye it's easy to see that this is the work of an experienced graphic designer. And still it's not just a rigid construction but hase those little characteristic features, that make an interesting font. Like the dot on the I and how the bar of the T is seperated from the stem. My favourite is propably the Y, so simple yet so interesting to look at.
Oh, hey – sorry about spacing a reply. I wouldn’t make a good second if I didn’t show up at the appointed hour!
But, hmm, how to settle this contest? Clearly you’re the one packing the real slugs, so pistols might be slightly ungentlemanly, though not entirely unwanted ;)
How about dueling samples? Kinda like a visual rap battle. You know, kerning the dozens. We’ve seen your bold and fitting style – and it’s truly off the chizzle – but how about a sample* from the other guy’s myfonts page and we let the people decide? Technicolor yawn, anyone?

Hi mate, long time no see. These days I'm guessing you've moved on to other distractions, and time is at a premium.
I was just wondering how it's been going with sales on MyFonts of Sessions recently? I say that as I saw this when I logged in the other day, and wondered if it had a positive effect?

I'm sue it's just a coinkidink, but I agree that the name is better suited here.
