Can you add dots to lc i and j?
@Xbox No, because that's not how I wanted MY font to look. This entire site is devoted to indiviualism and not based on your standards of what a font is. Please stop telling designers such as myself how to make their own creations and try constructing reasonable criticism instead of pointless nitpicking.
I wonder about how Turkish ı and i would be distinguished. In that font these charactes look the same. Overall, this font is very nice. 9/10
ı and i will be obvious/legible through context even if both stand side by side. Germans are able to 'see' ß where foreigners write B in text, and French know their language well enough to 'see' é and è when foreigners write 'e'.
plz add dots on i and j can't write Turkish
Having said that:this is a great font and a clever technique to get that hand drawn broad-nib lettering style. It shows understanding of that type of calligraphy. 10/10
Like this though i and ı are the same...
As with most of my other fonts, I chose to go without a tittle on the i. Would that make it hard to distinguish between i and ı? Maybe. However, I'm on @night's bandwagon in that you'd know via context what glyph is implied. As a designer that isn't a Turk, I appreciate all you guys rushing to bring light to the issue. However, the whole reason behind choosing not to add a tittle was because my ascenders are 2 blocks high and descenders are 3 blocks low and I'm using 2x2 filters, so a tittle wouldn't be able to be separate from the x-height i without ascending higher than the rest of the ascenders.
@Arrow & @night Thank you for writing an actual criticism with an explanation rather than taking the @blue and @Xbox route and just commenting "change this," "add this," or "do this."
@night Also, thank you for tying it into calligraphy. As an amatuer calligrapher myself, I was trying to make this font semi-realistic to write and I'm so glad you could see that.
A modern blackletter style that deserves to be in my favs. I hadn't realised you worked on such a tight grid, now your font is even more impressive.
@Aeolien Thanks so much for the kind words :)
Have you tried using the same dots on c, g, et. on lc i?
The dots are at the same height as macron, acute, etc.
@Xbox I have tried that, but I have not found anything that I've liked or would fit well, including your suggestion.
Such a number of characters! The Letter И and Й must be turned over. The letter б add a stroke at the top right. The rest of the font is cool
