This is lovely! The middle stem on the W seems forced though.

Again, this reminds me of the great Thalamic's work :-) He was one of my favourite fontstructors.

@thalamic I've been wondering why I hadn't seen you around lately.

Comment by Axel Leyer 11th may 2009

thick and thin stems of V W and Y are messed up.

I should have made these updates on a clone. Oh well.

BTW, the name Illiij was supposed to be an allusion to the design itself with the many vertical lines. Randomly selected letters that were just verts in the first combination of letters that sounded pronounceable. Silly, I know. Will I ever grow up?

Last year, I was contacted by a designer in Hong Kong to use fs Illij in a magazine. Two days ago, I got a copy of the magazine in the mail. This is the first time, to my knowledge, one of my fonts is used for something real. It's quite exciting.
