Beautiful letters delineated by slender strokes and graceful hyperbolas. The polygonal nature of the curves only revealed at larger sizes. (Tiny ink traps at Z,3.) Aesthetics of elegance cast in letters. 10/10

Elegant and clean (I was about to make some crass comment about that being what I liked in a woman .... but ).... ;)

Thank you all for taking the time to write your uplifting comments, they are greatly appreciated.

@p2pnut: Elegant and clean are words I would associate with your work, and I know you're too much of a gentleman for anything crass...but I'm not. So I can say this: "I like my women like I like my fonts - she has to have a pretty face and come from a nice family." ;-) hehe

@meek: Thanks for the TP!

@Frodo7: Thanks for the elegant comment.

@arseniiv: I wasn't really planning on adding more just yet, but I'll ponder requests. This was released mainly to contrast fontstructing methodologies with William's fs_Rondeux.

These three features are some of the strongest I can remember – all gathered in one place and time. Good tidings for FontStructions still to come! Well done, Gene! 10/10

"Witness an exquisite and controlled variation of stroke rarely seen on FontStruct. This is a beautiful FontStruction which rewards close examination, revealing sophisticated details."

I just had to copy that text here. Who writes this stuff? I'm blushing. Thank you Meek for this pleasant surprise. The honor of a featured fontstruction is totally unexpected. But what's Mahgreb?

@elmoyenique: Thank you, maestro.

@kerimsel: Thank you?

@will: Thank you, my friend. I must admit to feeling some unworthiness in the company of my featured compatriots, p2pnut and beate. But surely, I was thinking your fs Rondeux would befit the present selection of features.

Wow!! This is great! It is the simple, basic ones that deserve some of the most appreciation, because lines such as those are nearly impossible to make on fontstruct (no judgements!!!)

Maybe, I'm a bit too late to comment on this font. This is basic, but very clean, beautiful, stunning, and nearly impossible to make this on Fontstruct, wow!

@liamjacobs Practice, practice, practice!

Also, check out DJNippa's All Composites saved in MY BRICKS for help with composites and extra angles that you don't get with the regular bricks.

How would I go about using this font in Illustrator?

@sarahlust9: Download it, extract the .ttf file and instal it on your computer.

@p2pnut:, @aphoria: Thanks for answering questions here guys! Time has become a precious commodity for me and it is much appreciated. Spending any time creating on FontStruct is now a guilty pleasure and an excursion from the reality of pressing responsibilities.

@sarah: I don't mean to be a meanie, but this made me laugh when someone did it to me after asking a 'newbie' type of question. I actually did find it helpful though.

@liam: I'd listen to what aphoria says. Make lots of fonts. Start on the easier ones. Imitation may be the sincerest form of typographic flattery. As you can see, there are a lot of nice, friendly, and knowledgeable people here. Except me. I'm a meanie. No, I'm not. Yes I am. no.
