thx...
why nobody votes?

Comment by kix 2nd july 2008

Thanks for the link Stewf.

Dear kix )))
I know, this is trendy, but I’m really not sure
about the lower case f. While others moving
and jumping around their familiar spaces
this one looks out of typographic order.
If you change your mind about it
IMHO the whole font wins.
I think )))

I like your elegant decision for D and V’s!

You have my vote

Comment by anTyp 2nd july 2008

You were completely right with that "f"... I changed that + the lower "t"

thanks for that and mentioning that D and V thing :)

Comment by kix 2nd july 2008

Now “f” looks great! You find the right place )))

As ususal kix, I like this creation of yours. I have something unreleased that is very similar. I thought you discovered the same method I used to make the lines intersect with the circles, but your lines stop at a tangent to the circles and the scaling and anti-aliasing of the preview make it look like they're connected. That's fine if that is how you intended it to be, but if you wanted the lines to merge with the circles there's an easy modification you can make in the Advanced menu...

thank you very much geneus1!
i used this advanced stuff before but i didnt think this would work for this font SOO well...

i was proud of this font but now its perfect :)
ill add some more characters now :)

Comment by kix 9th july 2008

I love your font. Here are some of my pain points:
1) Capital V should only have 1 dot at the bottom like the lowercase V does. You could then put back the 4th and 5th dots in the middle of each side. It looks like a U with an even number of dots on the bottom line.
2) I would rather you put a 5th dot in the extact center of the lowercase x instead of changing the line width for just one character.
