Like a foreword or an explanation: This is my personal interpretation for the font "New York 30" (created circa 1983 by the excellent dutch typographer Leon L.G. Meuffels), it was published in one of the legendary catalogs from Mecanorma, this was in the #11 for january of 1984. I've added some glyphs and I've adapted many others with all my humility when I dare to change this piece of Art. Hope you like the final work. PS: The * sign is gorgeous IMHO. Adapted glyphs (from the Mecanorma sample, not the entire font): A, AE, M, N, $, &, /, <, >. Added glyphs (from new creation): Ñ, Ç, ;, :, #, %, +, -, \, =, [, ], {, }, @, ¡, ¿, ¥, ª, º, ·, À, Á, Â, È, É, Ê, Ì, Í, Î, Ò, Ó, Ô, Ù, Ú, Û, Ü, ß, €, etc.

I see amazing 'buildings' ;) I love the contrast created by the 2 bricks, it looks great! 10/10

Thanks dear Aeo. I'm gonna change the sample 'cause it don't looks well to my eyes: the red in the background appears irregular IMHO...

I really like this - when you half close your eyes the solid portion still gives the essence of each glyph.

Thanks a lot, dear mas+er. Half close the eyes is something habitual to me when I look at a new font too (maybe because I use glasses and I see the glyphs better when I do that). But your words always are kind and encouraging to me, thanks for support me all this time.
