Filter 2:2 The large, rounded corners are the standard macaroni bricks. The tight, rounded corners are made of several several composites and stacked brick combinations. This allows a curve that flows straight into an angle (1:4 in this case). I did not discover this "smooth tight curve to angle" trick. I stole it from Geneus1...thanks!

I'm all for beautiful ampersands and this one is especially nice!

Thank for sharing details of your construction. I'm trying to figure out why you need the half circle in the tight corners, though...

Anyway, this one is a real beauty!
10/10

Brilliant. The samples are awesome. & is something else!

Comment by minimum 17th august 2012

@laynecom Thank you. Here is a pic showing what the half circle does. It covers up the little triangle...I could've made an ultra slim rectangle (see the pic), but using the half circle didn't require making a composite.

@minimum Thank you. I think you're the master of samples, so I consider that high praise for mine. :)

@ecluniverso Thanks! It's been a long time since I've looked at this...I wonder what improvements I could make with the latest bricks and fonstruct features.
