This was several weeks in the making and overall I feel like it turned out pretty well. Some characters look a bit heavier than others, but the nature of a small grid didn't give me many options.

FYI for all the faux-bezier haters, all the curves were created using curved bricks.

The lowercase is 5 bricks high and the upper is 7 bricks.

Lowercase s

Lowercase w

Comment by aphoria 14th december 2010

Whew! Great work! I love the way this font flows and how the letters are formed. Well worth the effort and very usable. You might want to check the spacing, however, on the upper and lower case V, W, and X. They seem to kind of run into each other when typing. Either way though, awesome! 10/10

Well done very nice work.. s and w are awsome.
I can imagine all those complex composite :) 10

Good work! I like specialy the "&" sample. (Perhaps some glyphs deserve a little more attention in the design, IMHO; b.e.: the 6,8,9 or @, but this is your font, not mine).

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “Evity” is now a Top Pick.

Comment by Rob Meek (meek) 15th december 2010

Thank you to all of you. I tried to get too cute with the kerning on the V, W, and X. I've modified those as well as f, r, t, v, and w to hopefully work better.

I also changed the 8. It looks top-heavy to me, but I suppose it is better than what I had.

I will have to think some more about the 6, 9, and @.

@meek Thank you for the Top Pick!

What's the wwVA?

Comment by ianleeye 28th december 2010

@ianleeye I don't understand your question. Can you elaborate?

Comment by aphoria 28th december 2010

@ianleeye: I think you're wondering about the wwVA in the glyphs? It's just a few alternatives for the letters w, V, and A. Am I correct, aphoria?
Anyway, this font is gorgeous. Well-deserved TP. 10/10

Comment by Logan Thomason (xenophilius) 29th december 2010

Ahhh...sorry. Duh on my part.

Yes, those are just a few alternates that I tried. They don't show in the previewer at the default size and I forgot they were there.

@xenophilius Thanks for the comment and vote!

Comment by aphoria 29th december 2010

Well, aphoria, I said the two small w's capital V and capital A! The more latin case HAS IT!

Comment by ianleeye 29th december 2010

You're right, xenophilius.

Comment by ianleeye 29th december 2010

now THAT is a nice font!

Comment by cellopants 3rd october 2011

FANTASTIC 10/10!
Just one issue: kerning. Especially lower case "f". Any updates about it?
Thanks.

Comment by Alessandro Petta 23rd january 2012

@Alessandro Petta Thank you! I know the kerning isn't great, but there isn't much I can do because it is such a small grid size.

Comment by aphoria 23rd january 2012

Now I see, I didn't realize that at first. Still a great typeface at my eyes!

Comment by Alessandro Petta 6th february 2012

Hey aphoria, would it be too much of a trouble for you to add the "ä" and "ö" (both lower- and uppercase)?

It would be really appreciated!

P.S. I cannot stop appreciating this font of yours :)

Comment by Alessandro Petta 3rd may 2012

@Alessandro Petta Per your request...

Thanks for the compliments!

Comment by aphoria 3rd may 2012

Wow aphoria, thanks for the quick reply! Would I ask too much for the uppercase too?

Comment by Alessandro Petta 3rd may 2012

@Alessandro

Your wish is granted. :)

Comment by aphoria 3rd may 2012

Thanks again!

Comment by Alessandro Petta 9th may 2012

Wow! Very nice sans serif. Reminiscent of Gill Sans. Simply beautiful. I would change the @, though. The @ should be an a in the middle, not a dot in the middle, although that might be hard considering the grid you're using.

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 22nd november 2012

@winty5 Thank you for the compliment.

As for the @, I don't think it has to be an "a" inside the loop...there is room for interpretation. :)

And any way, you're right about the grid-size in this case...it really wouldn't allow much else for the @.
