Nice one, Tag!
I specially dig the y.

Comment by cayo 17th august 2009

Very nice. The y is very cool. x too.

Have you been checking your email lately?

Comment by thalamic 19th august 2009

whoops... I'm onto it...

Comment by intaglio 19th august 2009

I like it a lot.

Only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the u/c W ... I prefer the style of the l/c w

Comment by p2pnut 19th august 2009

Yeah, I know. I tried an upper case W matched to the lower case first, and it was wider than Africa. To make it sit not too noticibly with all the other glyphs would mean adding width to all the others. And then I'd have a wide caps overall, and a somewhat narrower lower case overall, and all so one single glyph can be jemmied into position. So I went for the ugly weirdo solution instead. There's always one obstreperous one...

Very nice letters. I like the x,y,v,w especially. Well, the W is a nuisance, as usual. How about turning the M upside down and cutting the bottom edges a bit? Just a thought.

Comment by Frodo7 20th august 2009

D*mn this is getting frustrating. I just tried (yet again) to upload an image of a W from the set I am working on - but nothing appears!

I have tried to do this from my hard-drive and from Photobucket ... nada

Anyways, what I was trying to show was my 'cheat' solution of putting the two Vs that make up the W closer together and accepting that this means that the middle of the W would have to be lower than the outside diagonals.

Probably ok for my font, but no good for one like yours which has a consistent height.

Comment by p2pnut 20th august 2009

@p2p:That's how I started. The lower case w has a slightly lower inner join; somehow when I tried it on the upper case it didn't want to do it. I haven't put enough effort into it. If I would compress everything a little maybe I can get around it, at the expense of a glyph that looks a little too weighty. Oh well, I'm going to have to do that. The present W obviously is not a goer.

@frodo: I've pursued that solution with a serif font, I forget now what I called it. A straight sided W with angled inners has a weird charm but not so applicable for this mostly regular design.

p2p: I use the "print screen" function copied to the clipboard and pasted into Photoshop, flattened and saved as a .png file. I don't know if that would give you any joy. I don't know anything about Photobucket but if it's an image editing program, you might be able to do the same sort of thing. Worth a try.

Damn. Don't know why the screen capture has appeared twice. There's no path in the "upload image" field so it shouldn't be there.

Comment by intaglio 20th august 2009

You can always do an upside-down M. And maybe use a steeper angle for the X.

Comment by thalamic 20th august 2009

The new W (in the pic) looks fine I think.

Does 'extended' mean the horizontal width? (I really must learn more of the terminology surrounding fonts ... I usually have a swift google to hide my lack of knowledge). If it does, then I think the balance is right.

Photobucket is just an image storage site. I uploaded the jpg there and used the http info from that ... but to no avail.

I'm just a lightweight here ... I use Paint Shop Pro for image editing :)

Comment by p2pnut 20th august 2009

Another solid great work intaglio!
the alternate "W"(double V) looks good to me.

@p2pnut: I cant upload img's if I'm using IE8, still haven't found out wy so I do it with Firefox.

Comment by jmarquez 20th august 2009

you continue to amaze and delight with your work. although far from easy, you make it look so effortless. your ability to make the complex appear so simple is remarkable.

Comment by funk_king 20th august 2009

Thanks, f.k. you're no slouch yourself! That neon thingy that just slipped out of your fevered brain is pretty cool. How you managed to keep it so legible and unusual at the same time.

I think we'd better stop this mutual admiration. I'm starting to make myself feel a bit queasy.
