This is my first fontstruction, based on the theme of 'sharp'. In early development stages I looked at brambles and attempted to create a typeface that seemed naturally pointed, as opposed to industrially sharp. Also took cues from modern death metal typography. Currently no numbers or lower case due to time constraints. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Definitely worth the stress! Looks great. also, you have it set so people can clone it and change it.

I think this looks really great. I think that A can be improved (perhaps an upside-down V with a bar) and I'm not convinced by the tail on the Q. Other than that this font is really awesome! :D

Comment by 3moDuDe 1st november 2010

Cheers guys. The A has been changed and the Q tail extended/thickened somewhat

Nice work! I really like your butterfly and leaf, both of which are "sharply" drawn. :)

One question: Why are the period and colon so plain? Perhaps you could rough them up a bit to look like stones in the bramble patch.

Really good work, am real impressed. the K might be a bit to pointy and it is a bit thicker than the other letters but as a whole I think they work very well together.

A refreshing design: the letters look very organic. And the presentation is perfect with stunning demo pics. Looking forward to see the lower case. 10/10
