Yes it's only 3 days left and this would be a busy work. I don't have very much free time even if now is students big holiday in my country, and yes I'm still a student ;)
This is not the ugly script, this is the zany script, or the inky script. Great fun - I hope you make your deadline. But please do the uppercase F K X and Z - and some punctuation. Good work.
Well now, isn't this turning out to be a serious font :) Only one entry, and it's already enough, whilst I have three, but it seems, yet again, I'm just not that good when it comes to competing.
Already loving those and, the, or. And waiting for your terrific samples!
Stiff, Zelemin, Lupo and now the "Ugly" one, go straight to favorites!
You don't need a professional graphic application to make a good design.
All you need is just your creativity and take advantage of existing resources even if it's limited.
And you have a great creativity, the example is your Winthaus sample, I love that.
Look, a 10-year-old kid can make design that good :)
The most joyful entry of them all. Expert use of brick wobble to distress curves both thick and thin, rendering with a casual looseness organic forms that are not easy to fontstruct. Well done! 10/10
After many considerations, I think this font more deserve a good name, not the "ugly" ones.
Just imagine, when this font is going publicly, this font will be called by the people "the ugly script" whereas I made this with hours and hours choosing the right shape, good looks, and even I made ligatures to make it beautiful, and I named it "ugly"??
And, many people say this is not ugly at all, and I totally agree with them (thanks for the appreciations!) this make me believe that I should change the "ugly" to a better name.
I change it to "Farmhand Script" inspired from the Architaraz' first comment:
"Well, it's not ugly, at least at pixel size. I especially like how the word "farmhand" looks."
What do you think, should I change the name? Or any suggestions for the name?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
@winty5 You're right about the "F". Needs more improvements...
About the competition, the winners really deserved it, winty :) Disappointed. I feel the same like you (a bit), it's normal I think. I'm a bit sure that some of us that entered the competition and didn't win feel the same.
Now, I learned something from the competition. You must understand the purpose of this competition. What is it? Making a beautiful scripts? Not only that I think. The staff wants to see if modularity works on complexity of script fonts.
Now look who's the winner, Stiff Script, Jalgas, simple but powerful... Lupo wins because of its originality that is really awesome.

It reminds me of early 1960's comedy film titles. 10/10

I thought the name could be changed too because it wasn't ugly at all.
