The first font I ever make public. I hope to extend it to Cyrillic, Greek, and maybe Hebrew, Georgian and Armenian. -

oooooooo my god so fancyyyyyy you got such a talent dude
Wow, it's great! One of the few pan-unicode fonts that's not pixelated as well. :)
Some minor updates. The breve (both in Latin and Cyrillic) looks better, Hebrew geresh was moved up to make it stand out, and a few letters of Georgian (the names os which I can't recall) were improved.
New lowercase W. I hope you enjoy the slenderer (does this word even exist?) design.
Niice.
Cedilla and ogonek improved.
JUst added S and T with comma, an o with ogonek
I'm always interested to see how people add to their fonts writing systems, which they know little. But even Giambattista Bodoni made it with some mistakes. This is often a problem with the proportions of the characters and, less often, forms. You have these problems are observed in Latin and Cyrillic (I can only evaluate them). You've done a lot of work and I do not want it to be completely in vain.
Letters such as 'B', 'Z', 'S', 'K', 'R', 'З' should be a little wider at the bottom than at the top. Your 'E', 'F', 'L' is too wide. Lowercase 's' and 'a' have a strange upper part, 'v' is too wide, and at 'j' and 'з' serifs are not justified. 'X' looks narrow, when 'K' have a horizontal bar. 'Д' and 'Л' must have the same structure, and 'Л' narrower than 'П' always. 'Ф' need to do more widely. 'Ж' should not be significantly narrower than the two 'К'. 'П' narrower than 'Н' and 'Ц' narrower than 'П' (except removal), but it should not be too noticeable. Lowercase 'y' (latin) and 'y' (cyrillic) must be the same. Bowl at 'з' and 'в' should be the same. Bowl at 'ь', 'ъ', 'ы', 'я' can be larger. Oval in letter 'б' should not be too small.
Even now, Cyrillic unconditionally good only in the two Windows system fonts: Verdana and Georgia. Times and Arial are evil:)
I hope this review will help not only you.
P.S.: May I ask which of the writing system for you dear?
@Crane89: I mean native, not dear.
There's one more thing. 'Н' narrower than 'И'.
@ Sychoff: Thank you for your feedback. My native writing system is Latin (I speak Portuguese), so I was eager to have some input on the way I interpreted Cyrillic.
"з" has a serif because I wanted to make it very distinct from "э". "j" has a serif because it looks too wide without it, creating some blank space between it and any other letter to its left. "K" has a horizontal bar because I simply couldn't make it work without one. I tried making "Д" and "Л" more similar to each other, but "Д" always ended up looking weird.
When you mention the bows at "ь", "ъ", "ы", "я", you said they can be larger, but do you mean taller, wider, or both?
Thank you very much!!!
JUst made some changes, having Sychoff's comments in mind
When I first started designing this I told myself "No, I will never ever even bother to add Vietnamese, it's too complicated, it'll never work, it'll take too much time." And yet, here we are...
The capital letters with two diacritics had to be shrunk vertically. Not the best solution ever, but it's the one solution that worked for me. ;)
This has improved drastically, I really like the look of all the glyphs. You are on the path to being a great FSor. It's in my favs now.
One minor update. Greek Φ, Cyrillic Ф, and Armenian Փ were actually different from each other, that's improved now. And Greek Ψ is now a little wider.
Great news! Brigadeiro FS can now be used to write Chinese!! #kinda #notreally
Just added the last characters needed to write Pinyin, including ü with caron, as you can see from the example. The Chinese characters you see is from one of the standart Microsoft fonts.
There's also a minor design change in the zero (dot instead of slash). Looks better this way in my opinion.
I think I can call it finished. Thank you all for your support, help and input!!! :) :) :)
how about actual CJK letters?

Sam
Could you make Kanji and Hangul, please?
I'm not asking for CJK, there are too much letters.
