good ornaments!

Comment by Sergio Berkenbrock (gray.scale) 26th december 2009

It's a masterpiece. When I see such magnificent work I wonder whether we use the same tools and bricks. Congratulations. 10/10

Comment by Frodo7 26th december 2009

Wonderful! (but you cheated with the numerals! ;-)

and the caps..

Another fontstruct masterpiece that lives up to your name, Gene. You dusted off a bit of your fs collaboration 1 musings and took ‘em the distance, I see.

Or perhaps this has been poised for awhile, awaiting this perfect hour of offering. The workshop elf in me thinks you have other version of this...actually you could have many versions of this textur typeface with extended character sets to boot! Keep them well! They deserve a proper release, and this takes not a bit of sweetness from your present to us.

I especially love the subtle traps notched into certain thin intersections. Sexy! And gives such a nice, yet understated, 3-d effect. I have been trying something along the same lines for a bit more curvaceous fontstruction and I think it the bees knees of display characteristics for a blackletter. Well done – 10/10 for the good cheer and generosity! *

Thank you for your greetings, in such a beautifully ornamented font. 10/10

@gray.scale, @p2pnut:
Your compliments of ornamentality are much appreciated.

@Frodo7:
Thanks, Frodo. Your recent work in the 2:2 filter seems to say otherwise. Please keep exploring and sharing.

@riccard0, @linehand:
Hehe...you forgot to mention the semi-colon too. I wouldn't consider it cheating, it just looked really weird to release the font with the letters M and C as the only ones in the uppercase, and the numbers 0, 2, and 9 without any ornaments. But I have to leave something to look forward to. Think of it as the gift that keeps on giving. ;-)

@will:
Thanks, Will. Am I that easy to read? You hit it right on the head with the FS Collaboration source reference. The entire font was created from the letter "s." I did have to dust it off, as it was only earlier this month that I started to develop the lowercase letters. There are two versions of this, but unfortunately I haven't created the full uppercase or numerals yet. Thanks again for noticing the little details in the traps. It was hard adding originality to the font with all the great blackletters concocted on FS. I'd love to see what you're brewing.

I & I am doubly gob smacked. What a wonderfully detailed ornament to throw into a fabulous looking black letter. Thanks for this yuletide gift, Gene.

Comment by afrojet 28th december 2009

Amazing! I don't think that's possible to make using Fontstruct

Comment by Solduke 28th december 2009

Awesome ornaments!

@gferreira, @afrojet:
My 50th Top Pick! Thank you. I think it would be cool if fontstructors got a free FontStruct T-Shirt for getting 50 Top Picks! (For Funk_King, you probably should just send him the entire store inventory.) ;-)

@djnippa, @afrojet:
Here's to smacking more gobs in 2010!

@Solduke:
2:2 Filter makes it all possible.

@cayo:
Thanks!
