Look at all minimal modular fonts out there (bauhaus, krouwel, olyf…) and you will have the same problem. V's are too close to u's, m's are always too wide. But there is an achievement in finding a logical compromise and a kind of abstract beauty. That is how this kind of game is played.
Anyway: your critique is welcome. I mean that. The early 10's were nice but a bit over the top. Greets, Peter.
Any fool can add doodads to make glyphs more legible (any number of intaglio's fonts!) but minimal+legible+elegant takes a special elan, and that's what the staff rewarded, I believe. Congratulations, a considerable achievement.
much appreciated, especially from you, Intaglio!
letters from, and the number of permutations drop precipitously. You also have to negotiate the increasingly difficult options for spacing, and settle for an acceptable compromise. At that level you need all the skills and
creativity to make something aesthetically pleasing as well
as functional. Typerider masterfully achieved that, and the
Top Pick is well deserved.
On "too simple": Simplicity is often a virtue in art. There is a
style and movement called minimalism (a.k.a minimal design) can be traced back to the 1920ies: in architecture, graphic design, and of course typeface design. We can see its lasting influence on contemporary web desing too. If you want to learn more about style and beauty in this field consider the following book: The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst. It's a typographic classic already and should be under the pillow of any prospective designer.
