The design of the KVN-Westgate typeface originated from the concrete lettering on the gates surrounding Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. These gates were constructed when the market underwent renovation in the mid-1900s. Having endured for decades, the lettering on the gates represents both the history of the market and the growth of the city, formerly known as Saigon.

This is the West Gate of Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City - Also my INSPIRATION
Interesting idea. The lowercase letters need a little work on some pairs (with glyphs like f, s or t), IMHO.
Very nice recovery work you did here pal. I'n not too sure about the design of your slashed "Ø ø". Seems quite odd this way to be honest, also this way it fills the couter of the glyphs too much as well. Also your font's actual "Slash" glyphs use a diagonal stoke.
Why not mach the slashed "Ø ø" with the font design?
@Sed4tives: WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT SOONER???? Anyways, the Ø ø are fix now, it looks much better. I have to learn a lot more from this.
@elmoyenique: I have to admit that it looks a bit weird, the f is fine, I just have to fix the S, s and t, and maybe Kerning too.
@elmoyenique & @Sed4tives: Should I create some alternate letter such as a single-storey "a"?
Why not? I usually try adding such alternates.
@Sed4tives: Where do you usually put the alternate letters? I've thought of some great idea for them.
I usually put alternate forms in the private use area and half width full width block.
Just added 10 alternate letters to my font, I have a lot in mind...
@Sed4tives: What do you think about those alternate letters I made?
So far I think they look good..
I know that it is inconvenient to text you right at the comment sections (or the Fontstruct Lives)
I want some help with this, I want to make some bricks to connect the two upper side of the M to the middle part of it, but I don't know which bricks to create.
Hope you can help.
To shift 5:1 you shouldn't make composite stacked bricks but resize the sloped bricks and nudge/rotate them into position to bridge the gaps!
In case you wanna do it from composites, thats the diagram to do it!
You can also do it in 1x5 rows using the 45-45-90 degree triangle bricks in this arrangement:
◣□□□■
■◣□□■
■■◣□■
◥■■◣■
■◥■■◣
■□◥■■
■□□◥■
■□□□◥
■ = square brick, □ = empty, ◣ = Cut Corner 2, ◥ = Cut Corner 4
True!
Thanks, Sed4tives and BWM, I used Sed4tives's composites method, I just have one more question.
Hoover cursor over the composite brick in the palette an press shift+click the brick. This pops up a small brick composition layout of the used bricks, somply click the unwanted parts in the composition. They light up in yellow when you can click them.
@Sed4tives Can I message someone?
@Sed4tives: Wow, I haven't heard about it, and it's also work perfectly, thanks for the help, appreciate that!
More info here.
Wait, WHAT!? ONE OF MY FONTS IS NOW A STAFF PICK, let me calm myself down first, wow, honestly, I'm surprised and shaking right now. Thanks, @Rob Meek, THANK YOU, this is my first ever Staff Pick, I have nothing to say now.
From now, April 1st, 2024, I have a second account which is this one.
Congrats on your first TP, Kiên!
@elmoyenique: Sorry for the late response, thank you, I know this day would come.
Oh, and, um...I don't know if this is like a commercial, I created the UNO card game for the special 16 years of FontStruct, hope ya check that out!
Hehe, this is my third account, the UNO one is on my official account.
