Hey, Fonstruct!!! I'm back!! (at least for a while) Oh, man, it's been a loooong time... I'm a real fonstructholic, after all. Well, this is dilior, a crazy mix between didot and melior. It has some sort of mechanical feeling that I love. Sadly, I don't think I'll have the chance to complete the uppercase soon,... sorry. But, hey!, this is promising! If anyone knows what to do with s and z, please let me know! =). Anyways, this is still developing, so any comment/suggestion/critique/whatever would be gladly received. I missed you guys.

That's a mighty big grid. You just need tighter curves on the S. Have you tried this tool. It might make it easier for you, and help achieve the desired effect. http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/all_composites_saved_in_my_bricks

All Composites In My Bricks

Comment by djnippa 26th september 2013

Thank you dj =). Actually, I already have it, so it shouldn't take me that long to find a proper curve. Anyway, if I get stucked, I'll start with caps.

Great! I'm sure you'll find solutions for s/z. Personally I'd prefer q without the cross stroke and j without the bottom left curve, and the middle of "a" could be more rounded.

Ok, I'll be working on that too ;)

Comment by Icelar 26th september 2013

This is great so far. I have to say that this is the only way that I actually like the one-story g—with a short tail that is, and sans the ear. :) As for s: it took me a while to get the curves right on my small s for Malachite, so just keep working at it, because I like the angle you're using. I might try flipping the bowl of the a vertically? As to z; maybe you could keep the shape the way it is, but make it angular instead of rounded in the middle section?

There's so much to like here. I think the 'z' looks fine. Maybe the bowl of 'c' could be a wee bit deeper (wider). Definitely this bit of elegance is a 10/10

Wow, thank u guys. c bowl is wider now, (thanks p2p), s have been improved, and z...is still a mess, but i'm working on it. Flipping a's bowl was certainly a good idea, sarreyn, thank u so much!

There is a notch in the m near where the two loops meet (and there). There are problems with the wrong or missing blocks on the top of the p, just copy the top of the n over.

But man, I am so impressed! I was getting all proud of the one I have been doing, but then I saw this one and I realize how far behind you guys I am. 10/10
