nip&aph thx, the creative streak is hitting hard lately. it's flowing around FS & it's very contagious.

Looking good cayo. The creative spark is bursting into flames :-)

Perhaps we'll have to start a rehab section for fontaddicts

Thx guys. Your comments are very appreciated.

Mr Pnut (hehe just kidding), I believe the 1st of the 12 steps is recognizing myself as an addict.

Cayo: Hi, I'm Cayo & I'm a Fontstructor.
Everybody in chorus: Hi, Cayo!


But who wants to quit? I still have to get one more hit. err. glyph. actually 26 plus accents!

Sam, I can´t wait either!

hey cayo, i thought the chorus was - they tried to make me go to rehab, but i said, no, no, no!

Well I just had to do the uc in order to get some rest (to my impatient mind). So I had my fix for the time being and now I need to sleep a little bit.
Hope the uc is up for the challenge.

I'll do a sample when I wake up...


funk_king
funk_king Fri, 21st August, 2009

oh, yes. you nailed the uc bro. very very nice.

Thx guys for encouraging me to improve it.

After checking out the outcome of the sample, I thought I might add a little detail to the S

I feel the next step should be to work on the ligatures.
Boy, this is going to be fun!

:) This is quite a surprise!
Nice to see you around, Stewf.
Thx for the pink dot.
I'm doing my research on possible ligatures for it. So far, the o+s is a must! I hope they get your aproval, too.
As everybody's, of course ;)

Excuse me. But um how do you make those pictures that are your font like the first comment of yours Cayo?


cayo
cayo Tue, 25th August, 2009

They are uploaded pictures I did with the downloaded font. It's just that they use the same color as the background, therefore they seem like posted text.
In case you wonder how it is done...
First you must download the font and put the ttf file in your System's or User's Fonts Folder. Then use Photoshop (or Gimp which is free to use) and create a new file that is 380 px wide (the widest available for image posting in FS) and 600+ px high (this depends on how long the text will be).
Use the type tool an be imaginative.
Save as jpg gif or png file, upload it & presto!

This is straight up delightful! Zoomed in real big, I see all the care you took on the inner curves, like using the smaller rounded corners, or sometimes none at all. Spectacular work!

Very flattering, thanks for noticing :)

Very elegant and 60's fashioned. It's strange how the "old" things are today the modern things.
