RM Nova Albion

One of my old designs brought up-to-date with FS 2.0 I have changed the name from 'RM Albion Too' to 'RM New Albion' because, whilst I liked the word play of the former, I thought it was a tad trite (and a bit Anglo-centric). -

Plus, you have the patience of a saint.
PS: Please, allow me a few words of indignation. I really don't understand the folks about here. Whoever rated this work as mediocre (5), I really want to know what he/she thinks about his/her own fontstructing endeavours. If there is any, at all.
I have always acknowledged that this is just another take on a tried and tested traditional design. In many of my endeavours (wood carving, pen and ink drawing etc.) I have always enjoyed the satisfaction of a craftsman, rather than the inspired creativity of an artist. FS affords me the pleasure of indulging in the fringes of the typographers craft ... but often (as here) whilst standing on giants shoulders.
Ocassionally I drag something slightly original from the depths of my imagination (Entrees, Scrapheap etc.), but on the whole I am content to bumble along in my own way - enjoying my simple satisfactions and sharing them with anyone who feels them to be worthwhile.
this font is soo smooth. very good work. I love the feeling coming out from the font.
10/10.
I am currently working on the diacritics and am enjoying this so much I may well end up doing the whole lot.
10/10
In the description, however, you still refer to it as RM New Albion.
I've also noticed that ivan delafe seems to be addressing you as GB. Does that stand for Great Brit? :)
Sorry I haven't been on the live feed for ages - too busy I'm afraid.
@Zefyrinus - This was just not possible before the recent great inprovements to FS. Most of the new angles are available at dynippa's fantastically helpful page: here
@fontcollector - thanks for pointing out the name anomaly ... and I've no idea why ivan delafe mentioned GB.
@neurone error - I have tried to ensure that the fonts I release on MyFonts have the full diacritic sets so that they might appeal to all Latin language users ... but so far the only (very few) sales have been in the US. Still, it's early days yet.
ne gave much pleasure to many on this site - we may not all have fully got where he was coming from all the time, but we loved his enthusiasm and commitment. You, on the other hand, have managed to produce exactly two fonts in the two years that you have been here. That and an unbelievable quantity of nasty, bile-ridden, personal claptrap.
I said previously that perhaps it was time to stop using ne's comments page as a message board - obviously that was far too subtle for you. Now you may have the opportunity of replying on this page ... however, I should warn you that anything other than an abject apology to ne (and everyone else who has had to put up with your rants) is liable to be removed.
10/10
It must have taken you a long time!
There is always so much more to learn - and that adds to the excitement of our typographical quests. I have a bit of a headstart on you (I am 7 times your age!) ... but I still look forward to learning and improving my skills every day.
This font looks as if you used a vector design tool instead of the Fontstructor.
That's incredibly impressive.
Thanks!
