Hey Quentersen -- thanks for the suggestion. If I'm still liking it by the time I've done most of the glyphs, it means I'm onto a winner. Which I wouldn't have thought of without your input. Wanna go halves in the squillions of virtual dollars we won't be making from this design? Heh heh.
What did guentersen say? What did I miss? These darn midterms are making me fall behind on my fontstructworld.
This is a clone of Circleplay, which has rounded terminals. In the discussion pane he suggested flattening them out, which wouldn't have occurred to me. And it has resulted in a demonstrably better font. Also because I weeded out nearly all of intaglio's idiosynchrasies. Just left in a few I couldn't bear to lose: lower-case t,y,g etc.
Soon onto the numbers and rest of the latin glyphs. Wish I didn't have to work today. I'm enthused. Steady...
first of all: someone WROTE quentersen (but it wasn't me) and i thought i was funny and wrote (in some posts) 'quentersen' too.
so dont' be embarrassed (?)
most people call me gue, which makes a sound in german that can't be said in english, while que is more latin or french and needs a question tag, why don't you call me 'what?son'
OK enough about that.
now for some completly different:
great font! and i DO say that because it was my input. har har.
No, I don't!
Great font, and i Think afro jet did his part too, didn't he? so we can part the squilliards of non-made virtual dollars in three and i would like to ... but brother ... to me this font is strictly intaglio.
I voted it 10.
a masterpiece.
gue
ps:
and thanks for the detailed description of font-structing in the double-sized gridspace. amazing.
you're a winner baby, that's the truth (hot chocolate)
It's part of the problem for natives in the language that conquered the world. It's like being from somewhere in middle America: the rest of the world doesn't exist.
Excuse me while I go practice my !Xhosa.
middle america?
you mean kansas? not mexico?
mexico is surrounded by a world ...
hasta luego.
Meanwhile I'm trying to get my bouche around a hard "g" followed immediately by an aspirated "wh".
i'm imagining you running around making g-whistle-sounds ... i can hear them and i'm smiling all the time. (maybe you could try the y from pythagoras for the ue but i'm not shure, keep on whistling!)
New Zealand is undergoing a huge vowel-shift at the moment; our accent is becoming more distinctive not less. I think it's the rise of a distinct awareness of New Zealand as an entity no longer tied to Mother England's apron-strings. We don't cringe to hear our own accent on television and radio any more. Until the early eighties we only heard the dulcet tones of BBC British on radio and television, an absurd state of affairs for a country on the other side of the world.
The (relatively) famous vowel shift that Australians take the piss out of us for is u for i: fush instead of fish. To us, the Aussie pronunciation sounds like "feesh".
Another peculiarity is our substitution of a W for a terminal L in "ful" words: usuaw, forgetfuw, hopefuw, interminabuw terminuws.
I find the whole thing really interesting.
"die spinnen die aussies/kiwis!"
(means: they are silly/crazy/mad)
Did you know that in Cuba the B is pronounced like a V (like in Habanna spoken Havanna) in one region in Germany they say P instead of B: Georg W. Push ...
here's a little quest for you.
now what does that mean:
ghoti
?
one thing is sure: you would pronounce it in a different way i would do ;)
Why can't the english teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn norwegian,
The greeks are taught their greek...
