Description:
This is a very simple one..."Apollo" is dedicated to the English graphic designer, typographer and art director Neville Brody. A few days ago I read the book "The Graphic Language of Neville Brody" and while creating this font I realized that it looks a bit like a few typefaces he did back in the days. Hope you like it, write a comment if you have any suggestions! * = alt.A, # = alt.$, % = alt.j (less spacing)

RE: your specimen
Are the letters in yellow a different weight or did you give them additional border? They look slightly bolder than that negative O.

Also, never mind the rating system. Here’s a 10 to even things out.

This happened to me before too! Great font - a 10 from me :)

Thanks mates!
@SebastianBerns: You´re right, the yellow letters are a bit bolder. I made the sample with Indesign where you can make a few modifications. The yellow letters have yellow outlines whereas the O (and the subheadline) has no outlines ;-)
