Inspired by a lack of hard work, sitting down and laying back. Remove yourself from stress and responsibility. Despite the theme this font arrived from investigation into missing letters, bars, stems and other parts. Experiments drawing with the wrong hand, eyes closed and allowing the pen to do its own thing. 'The new italic'. A font for those who generally cant be bothered. First year Graphic Design module for UWE Bristol. Theme = Lazy. First fontstruction [Work in progress]

So simple and so stylish! The sample proves it. A little bit too much space to the “full stop“ and the “comma“ and they don't fit perfectly to the style of this cool font, but you should definitely add numbers and punctuations.
Love this laid-back font! ;)
10/10

But that's only what I think about the "full stop" and the "comma" ...
Btw, the middle stroke of the 'W' isn't right in the middle, but maybe it‘s supposed to.

Damn, why did someone gave this a 1/10 !?

Comment by Tylo 4th november 2010

i do need to fix the full stop and comma that is true. but i think the middle stroke in the W was suppose to be like that. It is suppose to be to the same height of the bars on letters such as e, f, p etc. Thanks for the feedback!

No, that's cool like that. I actually meant horizontally not vertically.
