This version (fsc) is for the FS Competition: Connected Script. It´s ready for use! After the competition I will try to add more extended characters for a better language support.

BTW: This is my first public FS. Criticism and suggestions are welcome.

What a great first FS. 10/10

Very nice..That's a sweet * and I love the extended sample.

It's really cool, reminds me a bit of my Railway Script, but much better!

Thank you! This Competition version is ready for use. I will try to add more extended characters for a better language support after the competition.

@winty5: Yes, you are right. That's funny. I did not know your font! My source of inspiration were several fonts from India.

Comment by MF-Lab 12th june 2013

The way in which your capitals dive under the baseline is very appealing.

Comment by four 13th june 2013

I like a lot this font. IMHO some glyphs and connections can be improved, some of them in the uppercase like the E, F, L, Q... and other in the lowercase like the r, u. v... In general, I put you a 9.5 over 10. "The demon is in the details", be careful whit the little parts. And specially your asterisk is simply GENIAL!

Comment by elmoyenique 13th june 2013

Well, I can't vote a 9.5 ... I vote a 10 2U.

Comment by elmoyenique 13th june 2013

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately, I had no more time to work on this font until tomorrow. I have some more ideas for the uppercases and perhaps for some more details like the asterisk.

Comment by MF-Lab 13th june 2013

Very nice work, especially for a first. I agree with elmoyenique: the connections between letters need more work. One example: in the word "Pferde" you could use the horizontal stroke of "f" to connect to "P". The "L" and "P" are too similar. Is it Panka or Lanka, I can't tell. Not without checking the character map. The connection of "Q" is inconsistent with the rest of the set: it is one level below the usual connections, and using the tail to connect to the next letter is rather confusing, and takes away the character of the Q. 10/10

@Frodo7: Thanks! Yes L and P are similar. But "Q" doesn´t use the tail to connect to the next letter! (hm ok, the uppercase do!)
And the "P,f" connection? Perhaps a ligature?
