I love the FontStruct Daily News idea! And great family of fonts.

Wow! Fontstruct Daily News! In two languages! How on earth have you compiled that demo? You are a sedulous fellow who is not afraid of painstaking work.

Designing a font family has an extreme level of complexity. It is a major intellectual achievement equivalent to writing a symphony, a novel, or a thesis in mathematics. Great work. 10/10

@ elemoyenique: Fontstruct paparazzi!! Thanks for the heads up ;-)

@Frodo: Wow, I can not believe such greatness would apply to me but thanks for your cool and motivating response mate. About the FontStruct Daily, in reality wasn't all that labour intensive. The fonts in use are all Fontstructions by myself, which I have used frequently, so I am pretty familiar with how they likely going to turn out!

About the font family creation, you're spot on indeed. When taking the individual styles under closer exam it will be obvious how much of a complex task it would be to get everything transfered into the other style using Fontstruct! This therefor is far from a perfect serenata!

Cool you fella's like it!

@Sed4tives: I think you well deserve the praise. I don't know anyone else who attempted to design a family of five fonts with Fontstruct. The line I wrote about the level of complexity and intellectual achievement involved should be a quote, but I don't remember where I read it, and who wrote it. (It could be the Emigre Fonts book, another typography book, or a typeface design blog; I really don't know.) This statement gave me a pause. It is hard enough to consider all the details and ramifications of the design decisions for a single font when you try to furnish it with all diacritics and special characters. It is harder still when you consider supporting a non-Latin script as well. Working on a font family is yet another level of complexity indeed.
