Superb. Very subtle and stylish.

Comment by djnippa 29th july 2009

The lower case a looks a bit like a schwa (ə). Can you make an alternate a without breaking the "rules" you have set up?

Otherwise a great font. 10/10

Having a second look at this font, I've come to the conclusion that it is so cool, that I'd spend good money on it - especially if it had a few different weights.

Very, very beautiful. The only reservation I have is the l/c a, but it makes perfect sense. Very nice XxYy by the way. That low hang in the Y really comes off. Nice ligs, lovely ampersand. Goldarn it.

Preview of the bold version:

Comment by jmarquez 30th july 2009

I like the "~"-version the best. I think it makes it more easily legible. But it doesn't really follow the consistency.

I'm looking forward to the bold version and after that (hopefully) a fine line version

Without any doubt one of the top fontstructions... Very usable, beautifully designed. I must admit still having a lot of reservations towards fontstructions that try to imitate bezier curves (just for pure perfectionism), but here I can't help but to love it anyway. ;) I just always think it's a shame these fonts aren't designed in a bezier programm... If a bezier function was ever to be implemented in fontstruct, designs like this one would probably force the font-sale industry to just about pack it's stuff and go home.

As for the a I'm not sure... It does look too much like an inverted e and slightly disturbs the readability, but it's also a pretty stylish and unique attribute. Maybe I'd try a version where the top bar doesn't bend down on the left side. (Hm... Am I revealing a slight lack of technical terms here? :D) Maybe that would make it more a-ish...
