The name is derived from this fontstruction trying to emulate the intaglio style.

Wonderful semi-serif. Brilliant pixel potential. Nom de plume of a creative collaboration, or a ticklish title?

Must be seen up close to appreciate the beautifully balanced proportions. May I humbly suggest an h more like the n? And tighter intersection for the k as an alternate?

So many levels of awesome . . .

Your level of scrutiny is even better than mine: How could I have missed that h! A oversight leftover from numerous alterations. I'm not sure what you mean tighter intersection for the k, so I added a few alternates at the end. Fixed the e while at it.

As for the name, I did ask Mr. Intaglio for his magical input, but he graciously declined in the first comment above. (it appears as a self comment because he was logged-in as me at the time.)

Updated sample to reflect the changes.

Again a classic ! I am definitely a fan of your work ! You are preceeding your fontstructions by fs, does it mean that you also make fonts out of Fontstruct ? If so, I would be very VERY interested in seeing them !

Sooo great! congrats.

Thanks for the likes, n.e and g.s.

@neurone error: Not just all of mine, but all the fonts on this website are created using the FontStructor. I just add fs to the beginning of each to make it easy for me to find them in Photoshop (because they get grouped together). Your wish to see all FontStructed fonts is, therefore, granted. By default. :-)

This is really a beautiful and thoughtfully-considered FS. How is it not a top pick? It's hard to judge it by the alphabet view... the proof is when it's body text.

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “fs Intaglish” is now a Top Pick.

Thanks for the Top Pick of this long-forgotten, but quite loved fontstruction, Rob. :-)

Hi beautiful fonts very similar to what I'm looking for but can not find anywhere. Maybe someone knows him?
I do not know if this is the right section to ask.

@M6115: You might try typophile.com’s type id board, or there’s always whatthefont.com for slightly more instantaneous feedback. ;^)

Though, it looks like what you are asking for is two fairly generic pixel faces. They lack organization, but you still might find what you are looking for here.
