Personally, I don't like the arrow in the capital M, but it is a 10 nevertheless.
This one is really remarkable!
@tylo: Interesting, the Mesoamerican angle hadn’t occured to me at all. The new M definitely agrees with you! Thanks for the cool feedback.
@funk_king: And thank you for the high praise :) I always thought the original lc had a bit of a blackletter flavor, so I wanted to play that part up in the uc. The unical aspects are still perhaps the most gimmicky (but made for an easy E once I made the B). I think the sans hybridizing is what saves it. These approaches simply weren’t possible for me until the introduction of fs 2.0 and composite bricks. The stencil approach ... an extention of the lc and one approach to managing this small grid perhaps, and still a bit crazy. :)
Maybe I'd possibly curve the right side of the D....maybe. :-)
Here are a few variations (except the first one, that's your original design). I also think you can do a better V, and maybe move the horizontal bar on A, a bit lower.
PS: Definitely enjoying the beta. Thanks.
I ended up doing a variation of this font. Hope you don't mind.
Can any of the admins replace it with this one please?:)
Seriously, there is so much character and style in here, and such a uniqueness... And all of this on such a small and smartly used grid. Even I would award an 11 if there was one, and I hardly ever give the full 10. ;)
The really cool thing I guess (and admittedly the point that makes me jealous:P) is that this isn't a font that builds itself from a set of implicit rules; every single character is a creation of its own, not obvious at all, but the way you did them still perfectly fitting into the "big picture". Typography is - in my perception - often only a little about creativity: you just need the initial spark, and the rest of it is handcraft. This is here is creativity from A to Z. And beyond, of course. ;)
when we get the 'display only' button at least we can others to view our work although we will still control its distribution. and people will be able to use the full screen to sample and set the type - so the font could still be used - for good or bad. so maybe one day, we will see the beauty named Adaptorical again.
definitely different from the original here, but what was lost in swishyness is gained with a more extensive and consistent application of that lovely stem created by will.i.ૐ. both have a very calligraphic feel - yours more stylized and 'regimented' with the stem and will.i.ૐ's more natural feeling. both amazing work, esp. for modular fonts.
looking at the outline screen shot, i am amazed by the construction. it looks like p2p's RM Mondrianish and would probably be a very interesting font itself.
this is without doubt a superfontstruction. bam!

I cannot believe this is only 2 fonts above mine in page 8 of top picks!
It's so much better than Pixels Redefined!
Also, it's above kix's Vuvuzela.
It is such a good time to update old projects with the new advanced features of Fontstruct. Allegorica is an exquisite piece of work; it deserves every bit of attention. 10/10
I had not seen this before. Very striking, very unusual. Those delicate hairlines are pure genius and the design overall like magic.

What a complicated design! I want to see inside.
