I think it is a great achivement to replicate a modern sans serif with FS. Even if some edges look a bit serrated. The lc o looks a bit bigger and dislocated. Some minor spacing issues need to be addressed. Other than that it is ready to serve. Amazing! 10/10

Love the imperfection — the uneven x-heights and the blot-like serration. I'd be interested in the process you used here.

Hey, cheers guys. I managed to make this by basically taking a low-res bitmapped image of helvetica, and replicating the pixels in fontstruct! I made a couple of letters, and left it for months. I realised i needed to finish it, so i just gave it a mindnumming slog and finished it. Then i simply turned up the filters to full. Id like to have a go at chopping it all around, and making somthing interresting

Great stuff :)

I agree with Frodo7 about some of the letter spacing ... H and k could do with a wee tweek perhaps

Ive respaced it. Let me know if it needs any more touches. I dont really know how to space things properly
