  • XATURATE - Heavy weight Egyptian slab
    ══════════════════════════════════════
    Here is another throwback of my original older works, now refurbished and expanded into a complete font that includes multilingual support.

    As part of the recent endeavours into my older FontStruct works, digging for the forgotten and lost potential gems, I stumbled upon this Egyptian style Slab-Serif, called 'XATURATE'.

    This classic looking heavy weight Slab-Serif design was left rather  inconsistent and pretty incomplete. I don't remember why I abandoned
    this back then, since this letterforms had great potential. They just needed a healthy fresh perspective and a little bit of extra love to make them shine after all.
    ──────────────────────────────────────
    • polished shape and form
    • Rebalenced full character set
    • Added multilingual support
    • Included many symbols & punctuations
    • Overhauled entire metrics
    • Partial kerning (WIP)

    ──────────────────────────────────────
    I couldn't be more happy with the final result,

    Let me know what you think...

    Cheers

The tedious work of kerning should be extended to accented vowels and other signs that are in common use in common languages other than English, IMHO. But I like the serifs of the font and its slab and hard look.

I apologize for the two "common" due to Google translator.

@elmo: don't worry, it happens to me even without Google Translate

@elmo: yes I will try to do the complete set today, thats why I wrote Partial kerning in description above! But at least I will do a full kerning for most west european languages!

It got kind of late yesterday, but I was working towards a publishing the entire day, So I couln't hit the bed without doing at least that! ?

About the poor English, don't worry indeed, I usually dont use Google translate but I keep changing large chunks of text during writing so often that I can equally end up with such mistakes as well, lol
