This is an attempt to extend acceptability of the bitmap Slightly with sub size dots and "twist joins". I ended up doing a little kerning in a fontlab to get it to where I wanted. That version is not downloadable - sadly enough.

You are insane, man! I think the lowercase m isn't wide enough.

Comment by Typegirl 9th april 2008

Hmm maybe so. I will try a fuller m.

Comment by eben 10th april 2008

Altered the m & made some other improvements. I can see another version coming now.

What letter would I look at to understand what you mean by "twist joins"?

Comment by cdeliason 10th april 2008

Look at the Cap K. If you look closely you will see there is extra black almost touching - it looked like a twist in a sausage so I called them twist joins. This is not a serious term of art as used in the font industry; just an attempt at description. Sorry that wasn't clear.

Gotcha. The "party streamer" effect!
