This took me many, many hours of trying, learning, erasing and restarting. Especially the design of the caps was hard; sooo many possibilities! However, i'm proud to present you my first real blackletter font :) I would like to add some more glyphs to the "more latin" set, but the size seems to be close to the download limit. It's downloadable yet, but i had to erase some glyphs...
ps:
there's an alternate "a" on "@",
and some decorative stuff on "#" and "*".
cheers

That is so sharp you can get cut just by looking at i- OWW!
The entire set is excellent, but the uppercase blows my mind.
I can understand about the hours & hours to do thing. I've got two Black Letter fontstructs waiting to be completed. The upper case is soooo tricky to get something contemporary, yet still retaining the old style.
Ieally brilliant effort kix. 10
The uppercase is just gorgeous! this is 10!
Really outstanding what you did here!
"blackbetter" was my first attempt on old styles. it will soon be re-published. stay tuned
here you can see, that the old monks drew modular letterforms ;)
kix = font-god!
perfect 10.0
i guess commercial font designers should finally start to be scared by fontstruct. fonts like this one are gonna make them lose quite a few clients.
nur das kleine w juckt mich mit seiner assymetrie irgendwie ein klein wenig im auge... weiss aber nicht ob mich die symmetrische version nicht auch jucken tät... das problem könnt also auch am auge liegen.;)
das mit dem "w" is so ne sache...
ich glaube ich hätte gar nicht mal was gegen assymetrie, aber das wär GEGEN die hauptprämisse dieses fonts.
Nämlich der Form der Kalligrafiespitze treu zu bleiben.
In diesem fall etwa so geformt, wie ein "accent aigu". Ich finde, für eine schrift, wie diese, eine der wichtigsten eigenschaften, um hinterher auch authentizität auszustrahlen.
so... i think it will stay as it is :)
About this beauty: Kix, get into real fonts, I know I propably repeat myself, but your talent is overwhelming. There's no way to tell what you'd be able to do with real path constructed fonts. ;)
Fortunately, with the addition of Gustavo to the team, such delays will be much more rare. Congrats on a fine piece of work, kix, and welcome, Gustavo!
Brilliant fontsetting and the letters themselves are truly magnificent! :)
P.S. I didn't know that there is a size limit to the download files! Does anyone know more about this?

Great work!
@a-jet:
that "bierdeckel" is so awesome beautiful. i l
five stars.
You have created a font that can stand proud against any ... whatever the design medium.
It's beautiful - and an inspiration to us newbies.
thanks!
I don't understand
@DarkAge: You will just have to use a greater point size to achieve the effect of 'normal' 12pt - experiment with different sizes 'till you get the right look.
AWESOME font, bravo :)
