Were you somehow inspired by my dm Minium?

Either way, great job, and I'm looking forward to the complete set! 10/10!

Comment by demonics 8th october 2012

Thanks, demonics :)
I don't see much resemblance with dm Minium, and I created this 2 days before yours. But I must say, this is the first time I'm using that kind of z.
Don't worry, if I'm inspired by somebody's work, I usually note it in the comments, like I did with Pearls of Margar, Extra Fontestrial etc...

Very organic look. I think the t should be a bit rounder and the S could be improved, but overall very nice shapes and I love the e and z. I really want to know the size of the grid on which this is made!

Comment by 3moDuDe 8th october 2012

Thanks, 3moDuDe, I'll think of those suggestions.
Here's the grid:

No, no, it's fine! I wasn't worried about it; I just noticed similarities. :-)

Comment by demonics 8th october 2012

I meant that the overall styles are the same on both fonts.

Comment by demonics 8th october 2012

Lovely! I really can't find anything wrong with this! It is amazing! Great job, you have really set the bar high for the StencilComp! ;)

:P Sorry by "anything wrong with this" I meant there are no flaws! Sorry if that sounded rude.

This is very clever. Great concept.

Comment by djnippa 9th october 2012

f may look better as a reverse z, and moved up to the baseline.

Comment by djnippa 9th october 2012

10/10. The B and R appear to have islands unless zoomed in all the way, which might be problematic.
Love the g, s, and z! Brilliant :)
by the way, I notice in your tags you have Barney Stinson and Himym. Who's/What's that?

Comment by Houlaiziaa 9th october 2012

Great start!

Comment by four 9th october 2012

@Umbreon126:
Thanks! Barney Stinson is a fictional character from sitcom "How I Met Your Mother". I've seen some episodes, and noticed how funny he is :).
Changed the B,R.

@four:
Thanks! 2 days left, and I just hope I'll be able to finish this.

Comment by kassymkulov 10th october 2012

Well worth finishing - c'mon, you can do it :) 10/10 for what is already there.

Comment by p2pnut 10th october 2012

Great font. Don't worry about time and challenges. Com'on!

I like it.

Comment by elmoyenique 13th october 2012

The 'f' looks a lot better, but I'm not sure if it works so well, below the line. Have you tried it on the line, or making it longer if you still want it below the line?e
I personally think the 'f' on the line is the best version.
