Very very creative. I've never seen a font designed this way before. Ultra unique.
 |
This is so inventive!!! I wish I'd thought of this!
 |
Creative and a great execution! I wonder if judges will drop the script part of "connected script" theme, and turn it into a "connected glyph" :)
 |
Congrats for the entry! I'm with the guys... And I presume they come more "connection surprises" in the next fonts of this ScriptComp...
 |
Full marks for creativity.
 |
Excellent and so inventive. I'm really impressed. 10/10+++
 |
Splendid little ghostly number packed full of figure/ground illusions. The way you’ve played with negative space is inspired. Now I want to see lupo’s words built from spiraling coils of wires that reveal the precise, yet informal letterforms only from a specific vantage point.
 |
i'm with nippa. Ultra unique. 10 FAV. already a winner!
 |
The t doesn't connect like the others. Why doesn't it work like the r? Anyway, great font! 10/10
 |
Ingenious approach!
 |
Winner. Hands-down.
 |
I'm speechless. 10/10/fav/compwinner
 |
Thanks so much, everyone. I didn't really anticipate this level of response...
 |
Well how could you not, it's so brilliantly executed!
|
I know right?! This is the most creative entry in this comp, mine seem so boring and mainstream compaired to this amazingly creative work.
 |
The most innovative entry so far...
 |
love this !
|
@Cmunk: thanks for the suggestion. I have changed t and made some other minor changes. The only letters left without a real connection now are c (right), k (right) and x (left and right). I am hoping to explore upper case and numbers next and maybe some diacriticals...
@will.i.ૐ: Thanks for your words. I love the idea of a wire sculpture that could reveal different things depending on your point of view.
@everyone else: thanks again for you support, it means a lot to me!
|
Gets more delightful with each addition.
 |
This is so brillant and the design is great Bravo
|
 |
Brilliant solution for connected script. My favorite. 10/10
|
Thanks Frodo, Upixel and thalamic!
I have been thinking that this font would really benefit from some open type features. One idea is to create three alternates for each glyph: a fully closed one, one that's closed on the left and one that's closed on the right. It would mean hugely increasing the number of glyphs, but give the possibility to create words that are formed by a continues line. I have included an alternate for l and o under the greater-than and less-than keys, so I could create the sample below.
|
 |
This is, by far, the most creative entry. 10/10 + fave
Maybe this would work better as a three-part font, like CMunk's Dry Heat. You could create a separate font for initial letters, and another for finals.
|
Thanks ETH, that would be a good alternative.
|
Suggestion for closing gaps. Maybe you could put some closing contours instead of some punctuation, here, I used numbers 0,1,2 to get this effect:
|
|
Great idea! (something like my floating connectors in "zage eYe/FS", I'm right?)
|
Thanks Architaraz, an excellent idea, I'll include them in the font.
|
Well, it's official now. Congratulations on being a winner, yet again! :)
|
Thanks Architaraz and everyone else who voted. I suppose the judges will have the last word on the validity of the entry however...
|
Congratulations! I thought this entry was really ingenious, I almost KNEW it would win from the start! Again, Congrats on a great font!
|
@four: Daor chara, comhghairdeas! / Dear pal, congratulations! “Lupo” is genial! And you too!
|
I find the little gaps at the beginning and end of words one of the considerable charms of this font. The breaks smartly echo the negative spaces of your circular counters while accentuating the “double helical” nature of word construction. As above, so below. But moreso, my mind swims while deciding what is on the inside and what is on the outside – all without ever loosing sight of what the word says. This is an impressive and thoroughly delightful illusion.
Of course, options are always nice in a pro package. How about taking initial and terminal forms in yet another direction? You could add snap-on swashes or even decorative arabesques that stylishly spiral off one (or both) of the open terminals of a given letter...
That we are still discussing the open-ended (and open-started!) possibilities proves this one is a winner for all of us.

 |

 |
Congratulations on being a Script Competition winner, four! Here’s the sample I made for the results blog post, posted here for posterity.
|
Thanks Stephen, I really like the sample and have also used it on my own blog.
 |
Definitely one of my faves. This font is amazing! 10/10
 |
Impressive design in both form and function. Bravo and congratulations!
 |
I'm with Cmunk. The T doesn't connect! I guess the judges missed that
 |
Quiero descargarla... como puedo hacerlo?... helppppppppp!!!
 |
Eu havia comentado algo sobre o download! O comentário foi excluído! Desculpe se havia lhe ofendido em algo. Faz um ótimo trabalho com essa fonte.
 |
Super font! Nice letter combination! 10
 |
Unique! I like how the letters overlap. Keep it up!
 |
This is....
THE BEST FONTSTRUCTION I'VE EVEN SEEN.
 |
10/10
I couldn't do that if I tried.
|
It would be cool(er) to have a starting and ending bubble characters so that the word-shape bubble could be self-contained.
|
Thanks thalamic, for another great suggestion. I'll try to include it! And thank you to everyone else for all your kind comments!
 |
it is the best 10/10 cuz i never thought of this...
 |
I'm in for the number alt thingy!
