What should i say ? I am truly honored if i was of some inspiration for this marvellous work. I love it; Every glyph is like a living character, and you don't need to add eyes balls like me or funk king, they're alive anyway. And love how you deconstructed and personalised the elements used normally to make blackletter font, I admire the way you mixed a somehow liquified sensation with some very aggressive shapes. I smell the perfume of a new discussion about svastika, because most of the glyphs are based on it, finally. The R and the X are gorgeously frightening in this context. I love every glyph, even if some go on criticizing , don't touch any, they're perfect! Must we stop to find beautiful the music of Wagnerbecause of his xenophobia, and the fact that his music was massively played in the great nazi meetings ? The strentgh of these shapes and aesthetic is not the properties of some idelology; they exist by themselves and can be used in another context with other intentions, like in this truly little piece of art. I will conclude that i am amazed my work can be inspirational for fontstructors who already have such a strong vision and are, at least technically, better than me. Hat's off, SSSam !
Neurone, thank you for your enthusiasm, really, but don't feel like this is the pinnacle of fontness. You do know, but this is merely a sole example of a category of fonts. The shape of the swastika was an influence, here, but I tried to keep it from becoming a swastika. I love the way this one turned out, and I tried to keep a nice balance of legibility and craziness. Don't feel so inferior, though. I couldn't even begin to reach toward fonts such as Grid ache. For those I simply stare up at them and wonder how somebody could be crazy enough to make something that great. Oh, and by the way, s-s-a-a-m-m.
@Rob MEEK : but my SHOUT on this is still unheard. Damned ! Am i the only one on earth to percieve the outstanding excellency of this ? You put a thousand of TOP PICKS on blackletter fonts that were merely replicas of the traditional fraktur and old english, and you ignored this at last really innovative approach of the genre ! That makes me more understand why i had only 2 top picks out of my 200 fonts when some fontstructors are automatically top picked when they make their tenth replica of Helvetica !
