Looks like real brush strokes. I wonder if fontstruct can produce non-modular fonts.infinity/10 :)
(Sorry for my disastrous English, dear master).
@djnippa: There's a fair bit of Omnia in it; with a few hints of Gaelic ... the whole thing rounded off a bit and slightly less brushstroke like.
I am not sure how to go forward with this.
Uncial fonts are Uppercase ... should I attempt a pseudo Uncial lowercase? ... or perhaps a few alternates in a repeated Uppercase?
The same goes for numerals ... I think I would be tempted to make them Old-style.
Over to you, the FS community. All suggestions gratefully received.
PS: Sorry about the double comment. I only clicked to refresh the page a few hours later.
It's amazing how master the FS bricks Bravo!
The single character I would like to see alternated most is a more asymmetrical or swerving take on ‘S’. Still fantastic, through and through.
@will.i.ૐ: I'll give that S a bit of thought, although I can't see me doing much for a few days as I have a lousy summer cold and don't want to risk dripping on the keyboard.
Every letter is beautiful. BEAUTIFUL.
@elmoyenique: I checked out the 2 & 3 ... there was a tiny brick (part of a composite) just to the left of the 3. Thank you for spotting it.
You must have excellent eyesight - it took me a while to find it :)
I did not communicate well my original intention with the word swerving, and so your subtle and highly successful update surprised me. I intended to point toward the dramatic oxbow characteristics of many uncial esses, or perhaps something more high-waisted with a nouveau swash. Now, I really appreciate the simplicity, high legibility, and personal touch you add with this character. :-)
@ishallcallhimsquishy: Not too long really - now I am wrestling with a lower case ... might be ready next week.
So here is the second version of the l/c, using the same weight as the U/C.
Absolutely beautiful
I thought the troll issue were behind us. Now it is back. I am very sad to see there are some people among us who think they can be the arbiters. They want to decide who can be the best and who is to fall. They conduct their primitive petty manipulations under the cloak of anonymity. How pusillanimous. Not dare to risk even their fake usernames.
If you have such radical opinion about the value of this font why don't you come forward and put your name behind it? Because, you are a nobody. If I were you, I would be gone.
Love it or hate it, anonymous ratings from 1 to 10 are an inherent part of this site. Everyone with a user account can vote and by its very nature it is a more casual act than commenting. However useful comments may be, nowhere in the user terms does it say voters must justify their votes with a comment.
I say people should have a right to vote according to their own taste, even if they only exercise their right to give low votes, and Rob Meek himself has officially defended this position.
Still, I love this fontstruction! I respect its level of polish (even as it continues to be polished), appreciate Ray’s journey of self-critique and how he’s making ongoing improvements – and have a blossoming appreciation for the inspirations that are the wellspring behind it. I also wish more people would give useful constructive criticism.
I agree, then, on some levels. I empathize with your outrage. To me, this work clearly earns 10s all around – and many of us have agreed. So such a brazen act of potential vote manipulation for such a magnificent and richly detailed work (in progress) is outrageous enough for me to want to make many “Robin Hood” accounts to vote it – and others – back up into a well-deserved top spot! Better, yet, Rob can give this one featured fontstruction honors for being awesomely curvaceous! (And then really watch the low votes roll in. What’s the saying? The bigger you are, the higher you climb, the more people watch and throw stones from glass houses? Something like that...)
conspicuous pattern has been found. In fact, the troll behavior is well understood and documented on the same page (your hyperlink) by Gustavo Ferreira. Hell, there is a whole taxonomy of trolls.
It is no secret, I am passionate about typography, the sublime beauty of letters and the freedom of creative expression. I don't question the trolls' right to vote as they want. I question their character. We are not talking about some random down-voting of poor quality fonts. We witness a repeated attempt to manipulate the TP list aiming squarely at the best works. I think, such behavior is destructive and detrimental to the creative community. It should not be encouraged.
Where to go? We can’t ask the down voters to leave, even as we can call the characters into question. Let us then enact our own highest standards of decorum and constructive input.
Even our clever troll taxonomy fails to dissect the specific intentions behind a single vote. Rob stated that in-house analysis was done anonymously, and so no punishments nor corrections were made to the voting system other than eliminating naughty positrolling (in which case the trolls identity may have been indicated, but not disclosed). Nowhere has it been officially suggested that this trend of downvoting originates from a single source or a coordinated effort. Such a conspiracy was ruled out by the data, and seems to me an unlikely explanation of this ongoing trend.
I suggest we remember Ray’s comment in response to the official study on trolling:A negative vote doesn’t worry me, I’m a mature person who indulges in this wonderful program simply for his own pleasure. However it concerns me that these mindless trolls could knock the confidence of younger, up-and-coming ‘structors. It must also be galling for those in the FS community who are professionals in the design world to have their hard work denigrated in this way.I wonder, @Ray, since posting that comment you have taken your personal work to a professional level with releases on MyFonts. Has this altered your feelings about receiving negative votes?
@Frodo7: Thank you for your concern my friend ... but ...
@will.i.ૐ: I still stand by what I said before.
I must admit that I hadn't even realised that this font had been at the top of the ratings - let alone that it had fallen. My main enjoyment still lies in the creation process, not in any scoring process.
Having said that, I would add that I do get immense pleasure from the positive comments of my peers when a design meets their approval. Equally I am always open to constructive criticism and, in fact, have been grateful when people point out my mistakes.
It would obviously be better all round if the '1 givers' were able to give their reasons - I can only imagine that they are less able to articulate their thoughts - and we should always be caring of those who are intellectually challenged, shouldn't we?
With regards to my status as a 'professional', all I can say is thank goodness I am not reliant on that income for my subsistence. My main reason for dipping my toes into the commercial pond was curiosity. It is all well and good when thousands of people are ready to download a free font ... but where would my work stand if people had to part with money to get it? Well, so far, around 30 people have bought my designs (some being multiple purchases) and I guess that means that at least some of my work is saleable. However, as I live outside the USA, I have to wait until sales amount to $500 before I see any money and at this rate that will be sometime next year ... hopefully just in time to spend it on my soon to be great-grandson's first birthday :-)
So folks, stay cool, keep smiling, enjoy the FS community for the good that it brings ... and don't let a few sad little people upset you.
This font is a hell of a lot better than some of the pro fonts out there. Bravo. I salute you.
(PS: -okay guys, although I know that he does not like to hear me say that about him, it's true, you're sure-).
@Mario jr. When it comes to curves I stand on the shoulders of giants ... the work of djnippa and aphoria who produced the range of angles require to effect a smoother curve. I have made these available as an FS: 'Angles' http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/angles_22
@mario jr When I first started FS, I had no idea how to make curves like geneus1's Periculum or aphoria's Aurora Light. Then I slowly learned that curves like these really are composed out of a great number of angled bricks on quite a large grid. I am forever grateful to djnippa for making All Composites Saved in MY BRICKS, a font that uses all the possible angles. Also if you need extra help, I am about to release a font made out of "fake" curves that anyone can clone and discover how these curves work.
I hope you find this info helpful. By the way this is the longest comment I have ever posted.
110/100!
(I see that Demonic Ladybug has already told the secret of the perfect curve!)
Ha! I'm not that good! ;)
This has been done by a so called web designer and fine artist by the name of Bruno Camargo.
I had, mistakenly, left the licence so that this design could be cloned ... not a mistake I will make again!
Actually, the font "AriaPenci Roman" by kix has stolen too in several months ago. And I still can see it until now...
And since I haven't commented on this before, I'm adding to the long list of comments that this is a beautiful font. Love the g.
(I'm guessing it's for their new movie "Brave"?...)
You must have been doing quite a bit of Gallery-sifting :)
I have attempted to bring the numerals into line with will.i.ૐ's characters ... but any lack of finesse in the numbers is entirely mine.
Thank you William - you have turned this into a design that we can jointly be proud of.
@Abneurone Fluid Types: Thanks for saying that ... I was a bit too embarrassed to say so myself.
@truth14ful: Yes, it was cloneable for just a few days. Now you can see why I don't allow my fonts to be cloned any more.
RM Celtic Regular
(And at 19 USD, it's quite the steal!)
They probably bought dozens of similar fonts to choose between, so they may not have used this one.

制限された環境の下でここまでのものを作れる技術に感激しました！
ありがとうございます - 基本的なスキルが習得されれば、それだけで、所望の効果を生成するためのケアと時間を割いての問題です。
I hope the Google translation is ok :)
You turned me on to these really great fonts (including this one), as examples of creativity (which they are), but I am still scratching my head as to how the heck you managed to do this.
You should setup a tutorial so that bezier curve freaks can stop dreaming of spending $400 cash for Fontographer, because if you can do this with Fonstruct, there is absolutely no limit to what it can do.
If you want all the composites used on this font, all you have to do is clone and use:
http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/all_bricks_6
then just copy and paste the composites stored on the 'E' glyph into your own design. I cut and paste this 'toolbox' of composites into each glyph as I am working on it.
How do you go into such detail?
It's a really beautiful font; you've done a great job!!
Very nice font.. but I would dot the lower case I and J the I to avoid ambiguity with the lower case L and maybe a few other things but other than that it is a rather nice font, stylish with clean lines...
if there was less ambiguity, like between the capitol case and lower case o I might use this font
beautiful
@JunMT That is not a valid site…
So cool these letters in the Gaelic style :D
Wow, just wow. An awesome font!
the color is grey not black (0,0,0)
how?
