Trying (sort of) irregular forms. Interesting to see how the screen representation misbehaves at various magnifications. Pity the printed thing won't do the same.

I like how leggy this is; it reminds me of Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

Thank you. It was fun to do.

Comment by intaglio 27th june 2008

This one is really nicely put together and is a joy to use! Cheers!

Thank you sahwar. I'm encouraged to go back and finish it off properly. I'm guilty of not really finishing fonts before I release them so it's good to know it behaves itself.

Comment by intaglio 26th august 2008

I really must get back and finish this font. It's not very practical but I like it just the same.

Oops, forgot some of the kerns. It's a bit of a finicky bastard.

POLI OREA!

You're making me hungry for some souvla over here. Very stylish.

I thought it was about time I went back into some ancient history and had a go at fixing the kern horrors of previous fonts. This one requires a lot of air because it's so wayward. Spacing not done with yet,obviously.

@Intaglio: Regularly, as a sane activity, i look back to your inspirational catalogue. Rediscovering this gem shows me how our sensibilities are much more related than they could seem at first. This has a Magna Carta Magellanic feel, but something, sort of magical added makes it unique, far from from the real old geographic parcheminos. Impressive. Same could be said for the old german mute expressionist movies packards and your Calligari font.(By the way, we had recently in the cinema i'm working as projectionist, a mute movies festival and we passed The Cabinet of the Doctor Calligari, i of course had a thought for you...)
Concerning souvlaki, Was the bizarrerie of missing bricks on the W wanted, or was it an unsolved accident?

Hi Neurone! It took me a while to figure out how to reply to your message (I was in gmail, not fs. Gosh I can be extraordinarily dumb sometimes. I'll send a message to you rather than blather on here.
