Double dang.
@funk_king Great comment. I agree entirely.
really like the subtle contraste of stokes width.
was not that promising at the beginning. Some of the glyphs are already 5th or 6th generations. Now the
work is half done, and I'm working on the capitals, and the numbers. I also experimented with a sans serif version, but it looked quite plain.
@thalamic: I've tried a flat bottom v, and w. They came out far too wide. The problem is, you can't set
the diagonal strokes' inclination above 67.5 degrees.
@funk_king: I agree with you entirely. FS is a wonderful tool, for it masks the daunting complexity of typeface design, and makes it accessible to a wider group of type fanatics. It is also a robust application
capable of great results. I use it only to amuse myself, and it gives me plenty of excitement. In the hands of a pro FS' modular approach opens up new avenues of creativity not considered with other tools. But, I still envy some script or italic fonts for their luscious Bézier curves.
@geneus1: Yes, upper case letters are on the drawing board. Actually, I intend to do a full set of glyphs,
even if it takes a very long time.
@janking: Well, before making the first stroke I've collected a number of slab serif examples from the web. After careful consideration I chose "Rockwell by Adobe 2 VP" to be my guide. I didn't want to copy it, of course. As the work progressed and I negotiated the inherent limitations of Fontstruct, a different set of shapes emerged. It is all in the tiny details.
Nem csak azért írok, hogy magyar bejegyzés is legyen ezen az oldalon, hanem mert tényleg tetszik a munkád, szépek lettek a betűk. Természetesen szavaztam is. Amennyiben pedig időm engedi, úgy én is készítek vmit. Üdv, stoni
OK, I'm now officially inspired!!!
But, I'm having trouble understanding why this is worthy of a Top Pick when djnippa's Top Pick was revoked for being to similar to another font.
Please don't misunderstand me, I believe Elspeth LC IS deserving of a Top Pick. I'm not saying that Frodo7's Top Pick should be revoked, but rather I'm trying to understand the difference in this case versus djnippa's.
I admire nippa's work generally, and policia has original qualities, but it is closely based on a very distinctive family of contemporary, commercial and modular typefaces. Gustavo wasn't aware of this when he made the original top picks which later put him in a difficult position - he simply didn't have all the information to make a judgement when he made that judgement originally.
Nobody denies that the vast majority of FontStructions and many, many Top Picks are imitations of one kind or another. Some are even straight copies of existing modular fonts. For me, the fact that Grant is stylistically very unique, new, commercial, and modular are important factors in deciding to remove the top pick. The policia fonts are not off the site, we just didn't feel comfortable giving them a top pick. To put this into context, in the history of FontStruct, we have, thankfully, never forced a FontStruction into privacy, let alone deleted one. Top picks have only been revoked twice, and I think in the first case, reinstated as I recall. There are no plans to retrospectively remove any other top picks.
Anyway, this discussion probably belongs in the policia thread. Excuse us Frodo7.
I think the space is a bit too wide; in a text font it generally corresponds the width of the i.
@rob: Thanks for explaining. :-)
Are you interested in finding a solution which can work for both of us?
Is there anyway we can fi
