This is a close relative (big brother?) to "Megaspacer", one of my earlier fontstructions...

Great font (as usual with your works), I like it a lot.

Comment by elmoyenique 8th september 2011

Superb. There seems to be a number of very high quality fonts being shared on Fontstruct at the mo.
I'm lovin' this. Particularly like the K & R.
You should check out Device Fonts - Rian Hughes stuff. That 50's 60's flavour with a modern twist.

This has a great feel to it. Spacy and clean. 10/10

My only (very tiny) quibble would be that the V looks a wee bit too narrow.

Comment by p2pnut 9th september 2011

Nippa is right, the K and R are awesome.

I agree with p2pnut about the V...just a bit too narrow.

On the f, I would try extending the top to the right to match the crossbar.

BIG thanx for nice comments fellow fontstructors. Made some minor fixes today. It is now beeing test-driven with a wider V, for instance. (That´s one tricky glyph when not using diagonals).

You might be able to get some ideas for the V/v from these fonts:

Not feeling the K updates.

Comment by djnippa 11th september 2011

Marvelous retro design. Old science fiction magazines had similar fonts on the cover. Great demo pic. 10/10

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “FS Space Opera” is now a Top Pick.

Updated 9/12/2011. For now I´ve settled with a simple solution for V. A plain "flipped U" as standard and a more meandering as alternative. (Perhaps a little boring but I dont want it to look too much ’klingon’ or ’space hebrew’).
New sample pic also shows some ideas i had (gray). Thanks for inspiration djnippa (Device/Hughes rules!). Thanks meek and thanks everybody.
