Cool 3D effect.
Comment by aphoria 30th june 2009
Nice 3D work.
Have you thought of making the K a bit more like the X, also the cross bar on the A looks a little high, same as B, P & R, and also the up tail on the J looks a little long. I've done some examples below.
Also on closer inspection you need to look at the Brick Stacking technique. It will resolve a lot of your problems.

Thank you both for the positive comments and thank you djnippa for the constructive crit and for pointing me towards Brick Stacking.

I wondered about the 'J', but thought I'd see what came out from having it (and the 'G') at the same height as the cross bars ... I think I might give it a few days then overhaul the font a bit.

I have only been Fontstructing for a few weeks and I'm already hooked.

Right, I'm off to try out stacking a few bricks :)

Oh! Joy of joys!! What a wondrous thing is Brick Stacking :)

I have been using it on a second version of Alphabox and it just makes everything sooo right.

A massive thank you to djnippa for putting me on to it.

Isn't it brilliant. It opens up a whole new world.
I can't remember who told me, but how pleased was I .... very pleased.

As another tip. You can Brick Stack to the left, down & Up, rather than just the right as I've illustrated.

Cheers!

It really does turn Fontstruct into a far more creative tool.

Sorry to see the upset over Neopolicia ... it's a considerably cleaner, more usable font than Grant.
Comment by p2pnut 1st july 2009
Bravo on a nice, clean effect - and doubly so considering you've only been doing this a short while.

I'm fairly new to this myself... many many sleepless nights await us, I'm sure.

Nice 3D technique. I would have to second djnippa's critiques.
Comment by geneus1 2nd july 2009
Thanks for the positive comments folks.

chr.s ... I suspect FS should carry a health warning "Fontstructing can be seriously addictive"

I have created 'Alphabox Basic' which is a cleaner version (thanks to djnippa's advice on brick stacking) and think I will concentrate on variations of that - rather than trying to fix the many problems on this original effort.
