You're good with stencils.
The horizontals in glyphs like E,F are thicker than the rest, you should probably make thew narrower, or vice-versa, make other glyphs thicker. "J" looks strange, "X" needs work, and I'think FS can handle diagonal on "N", just keep playing :)
A 10/10 for the big effort here.
@architaraz: E and F are ruined by the stupid sample preview. I know about J and X, those are always my hardest glyphs, and FS just won't cooperate with me on the N. Any suggestions?
Hmm, yeap, there are many suggestions. I cloned your work and tweaked it a bit. I can publish it for you, so that you can clone. I'll make it private once you've cloned.
Open fontstructor.
Open Menu - View - Extra Guides.
Enable expert mode by pressing a grey button near yellow HELP button. Go to Advanced - Lock Guides, so that they won't bother you while fontstructing.
You're working on a big grid, so you'll need guides, otherwise you'll get confused. On the image above, once you've set your guides, you'll know exactly how to develop your font, try building other characters accordingly.
This looks nice. The B is particularly clever. M, P, R, W, and X might need work though. What I suggest for the P is moving the lower part of the ring down. And is that the first 3 of Cyrillic set near the end? :P
Be careful with this guy, please, he only has 10 years, but loves typography and is doing very nice things on FS! (We all love this kind of energy... Young Blood!). It's an appreciate learner, IMHO. 10 2 U!
My first attempt at stencil. Work in progress, suggestions welcome.
