FS

The great Albrecht Durer designed these letters around 1525. There are alternative glyphs for the "i ", "l" and "z ". The upper case is a little harder, but I'm working on it. Be patient with it, please.

Albrecht Dürer knew how FontStruct would work? Hmmmm... Maybe.

I've been wanting to convert that image for a long time but never got around to doing it. I love to see that it has been done so wonderfully by an FS master! Kudos to you!

One more thing. I was hoping you'd make the left vertical of the a bleed a little more into the hairline stroke like this:

@meek: Many thanks. I still on work.
@3moDuDe: Thanks for your help, two heads are better than one. Please keep watching the font and lend me a hand, mate.

I could only guess what pleasure and excitement it was to craft such beautiful letters. Armed with the new set of bricks you were certainly daring enough to go back and seek the perfect harmony and proportions. Follow the spirit and hand of the late German master and discover the old dominion of lettering where plenty of medieval ink has been spilled. I wish you all the best luck for your quest.
