Whatever University you guys all seem to be coming from, it's certainly picked the right people.
Superb detailed work, and with a lower case to boot. You really went for it. Excellent stuff.

I could only repeat djnippa: superb artwork with fine details. Very impressive. It must have been a major effort to plan, design and build the glyphs. The professors at Bower Ashton Campus (?) have done a good job. And so did you. 10/10

P.S.: Did you know that you are at least the second FS member from UWE, Bristol? Do you know JoeAllison?

Your work is simply spectacular! It certainly deserves all the 10 scores it is receiving, including mine.

this is more than marvelous. i am in awe of your ability to digitize your visualizations. you have been able to industrialize each glyph in a very organic and original way. the elements that repeat give the font cohesiveness, but there is a wonderful abstractness and randomness. sensational and congrats.

i cloned and looked at the inner workings here. amazing that you use 1x1 filter to do this. that alone makes it a tremendous technical achievement already. you may want to change your license to prevent cloning once you have completed the set, but thanks for sharing :)

COOL!

Comment by Iamboredrightnow 9th november 2009

This would rank with the best under any circumstances. That it is your first FStruction, and bearing in mind the limitations of the FS brick set, it is a great achievement.

We can only give you a maximum of 10, but with work of this level you should be heading for a First class degree.

Fantastic work! Any plans to design the missing characters?

Comment by gferreira_admin 10th november 2009

Thank you for all the feedback guys, greatly appreciated!

Frodo7, I've been told that Joe Allison is in the year above us and they did the same Fontstruct project that we have been set. This was the first project we were set for the course and my first shot at type design, so I'm very flattered by the replies!

And I'll be working on finishing the missing letters and making some alterations over the next few days!

looks like we can't dl this beauty. you may have to end up splitting uc and lc into separate files - that might work, unless even your separated files are too large. i would recommend and initial test - make a clone and delete uc or lc, filling in any missing glyphs and try to dl. if that doesn't work...well try that first :)
