What a beauty, what a treasure!
Already in my FAVs.
I wonder how you guys create such professioanl samples!? Is the second sample created using software or did you print and take a photo of it?

Beautiful. #/% could be better I think.

So many small characteristics come together to make this a fine design. 10/10

I'm with the guys, you've made a greeeat font, once again! But, personally, this font is something special for me because I remember a very good days of june at Rome, long long time ago, when I see your first sample... 10/10!

Very pretty. I like your use of composites for notching out all the fine details and subtle tricks like “blending” angled and curved bricks as in your A. Tip of the hat to geneus1 for sneakily introducing the technique. Your choice of angle here works even better!

The serif design has a hint of Reina, but with your own distinctly fontstruct twist.

The only improvements I can suggest are to reverse the contrast of V,W,v,w and y for your default glyphs. They are looking backwards to me in mixed- and lowercase setting. It’s funny, though. Perhaps because of the repeating ornamentation they work out in an all caps environment, so I suggest you keep the current set as alternates.

10/10 for a bold and playful design!

Beautiful and well-polished. 'g' is my favourite (: Again, to echo all the above comments, the tiny details make this font absolutely stunning especially the numerous ink traps. 10/10 +fav!

Nicely done man, nicely done... Great samples too!
I like the "g" and the ink-traps :) 10/10

And, what's that thing at the "y" tail, or it was intended to be done that way?

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “Manuale giocoso” is now a Top Pick.

Excellent font and very professional samples! 10/10

This troll has been at my place tonight as well. This does not encourage me to submit new contributions !
Sorry, but this is like Kindergarten.

When you talk of them publicly like this, Trolls have won! I know it's irritating, i got so many, but we should Not even evoke them, a fortiori publicly, they do not deserve such attention.

laynecan and beate - don't let it get to you guys. We are really quite fortunate that the vast majority of people who use FS are responsible and behave in a mature manner. However, the internet is an open field and there is nothing to stop the kiddies coming in and attacking things they don't understand.

Long ago I stopped looking at Ratings and positions in the Gallery. What matters is (a) that you are satisfied with your work and (b) that it receives valid comments from your fellow font lovers here.

I'm with p2pnut.

Same thing happened to many of my works. It brought to mind a powerful quote (often attributed to Mother Teresa), The Paradoxical Commandments written by Kent M. Keith:

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

@ Williaum : what a beautiful quote! I didn't know this one, i think i'll come back to it several times. Thanks for sharing. I would complete it with these words (by memory) of the french writer Christian Bobin : No one hears what you say, they're always projecting something else on it. The only thing you can and must do is to be honest to your word...
