...and it seems I haven't had quite enough punishment because now I've got the cheek to think I can crank a lower case out too. Tighten up those corners, boy and crank away.

ah, but what pleasure you give us in your pain :)

Comment by funk_king 4th december 2008

Having done a lower case I now see that the caps look too condensed. Some of the glyphs will be tricky. M and W don't have equal voids so perhaps I can fix that in the widening.

This is premium quality good.

Comment by thalamic 5th december 2008

Thanks, thal. Isn't it a pity one of my more credible fonts is also nearly useless! I suppose I should strike off a filled-in version to see if it looks okay.I suspect most of the charm of it is in the even, homogenous stroke weights.

you always had some kind of charming way to kind of "underworthing" your work, but this little sinner is your masterpiece!

you're like some brilliant expermenting prog-musician on it's way to reform music AS WE KNOW it, without realizing he's created the perfect popsong.

huge probs on this one!!!!!

Comment by kix 5th december 2008

Thanks, kix. I agree it's my best work so far.

I love the way Fontstruct is so strict. (Whip me! Whip me!)There are some things you can't do -- and some things you can -- in order to end up with a good looking font. Some of these glyphs are right on the edge of acceptability. That pleases and bothers me by turns. But I tentatively suggest there aren't any downright bad shapes (well, maybe the 4 is a dodgy idea) and that's the most pleasing thing of all.

I'm sure kix meant props instead of probs, intaglio.

This one's a beauty. It is also evident in your self-corrections how well your eye for detail has sharpened its focus over time.

Props or probs. Ha ha! Either way I take it as a compliment. If it was probs I choose to interpret it as an acknowledgement of the mindbending ordeal of all that brickstacking... rather than being a mundane old typo. Shameless slut that I am.

Don't mind me, I'm in a puckish mood. Happy I done good at last!

Comment by intaglio 6th december 2008

oh man, this was for sure a compliment, haha...
