Description:
This one has been called Nova. That is simply due to the fact that the letters A, N, O, and V were the first that I tried out when starting this typeface.

Yes !

Sehr schön.

Auf den ersten Blick:
Asterisk ist vielleicht ein bißchen zu zierlich?
Dem Bogen vom "t" und "l" würde ich vielleicht ein wenig mehr Spannung verleihen; ist vielleicht ein wenig zu ausschweifend ( wie auch der Oberschwung vom "a") Er nimmt etwas zu sehr Dynamik aus der sont gut fließenden Gestaltung. Die Ligaturen sind sehr fein. Ebenso das "ß" Alles in allem erinnert es mich schon ein wenig an meine db Sitcker-Serie — nur etwas breiter : )

Sehr gelungene Arbeit***

Thanks beate. I’m answering in English because I guess most people wouldn’t understand German... I still appretiate your comment and suggestions, don’t get me wrong :-)

I made the characters deliberately wide (extended) but maybe you are right that the dynamics are better with narrower l and t. Especially when I look at the ala bit in one word.

Speaking of your Sticker series, I saw that you took down all of fonts except one. Is there a reason? Earning money with them after all ;-)

Thanks for the nice comment anyway...

Thanks for all the wonderful comments and the TP. Next up: Reworked l and t, adjusted kerning on T and (much later) Nova Light Extended.

Dear laynecom:I know that, I can't make a font like this, so soft, so sweet, and so strong and hard too under another point of view... and all so cool. I envy you.

Dear elmoyenique, what can I say? For someone who has two fontstructions on the first page of the TP ranking, you are being modest... No need to envy me, because if you have a closer look I'm never as original as you are. I'm just copying what I see.

WOW! That is way better than I will ever do! 10/10 It looks like what I think Helvetica Light Extended would look like.

Virtually flawless. I like what Luc Devroye has to say about Nova Thin Extended: ”this hairline sans is a tour de force---it is the first successful hairline sans face ever made by anyone using FontStruct”. Ok, he probably got that last part wrong, but the first part is spot on! ;)

I go back and forth on the design of the capital S. It definitely works in context and holds up quite well at large sizes... But the horizontal spine still gives me pause. Would you consider a more sinuous, less squared design? Easier said than done, I know. Lastly, I think your w would benefit from widening.

All said: 10/10!

Elegant hairline sans oozes quality. Clean and simple design. It must have taken huge amount of work, and great effort to accomplish it. Congratulations. 10/10

laynecom Mon, 12th November, 2012

Wow. Were did Mr Devroye say that? I'm speechless...

Concerning the S... I understand your concern. Must think about it. Since the extended variant requires a bit of width... Well, let me think about it.

Thanks for both your input!

@laynecom: You can read Luc’s high praise for Nova Thin Extended on your page found within his extensive typography database. I hope my notes encourage you to take this one to 11! ;-)

Very clean and cool - I like this! In Latin, you know, noVUS means new. Close to nova - ?
