The ideal font for overwintering in the comfort of an old-fashioned bed.

The "Broomsticks" font will be published later (much much later due to lack of time and too many ideas regarding representation) as it is part of my Witchy Fonts cycle.

Amazing!

Comment by kassymkulov 27th november 2012

I do agree. Unique and excellent.

Comment by Abneurone Fluid Types 27th november 2012

Wow, excellent!

Comment by cablecomputer 27th november 2012

Very nice. 10/10

I think the 'k' is a wee bit too big (compared with the rest of the lowercase)

Comment by p2pnut 28th november 2012

Thanks, I'm glad you like them. My first 10/10 **happy dance around the bed** I'll go look at that "k" again and post my comment when I've shrunk it to the right proportion :)

Do people return to see a downloaded font, just in case there has been an update??

Comment by Aeolien 28th november 2012

I have changed both the "K" to be slightly more similar; the lower is slanting and I think it looks smaller compared to the first version and fits better with the other small letters. What is your opinion?

Comment by Aeolien 28th november 2012

That 'k' is much better. I still wonder if the top diagonal could be a little lower ... something like this perhaps ...

Sorry, I forgot to mention - people will see if and when you update a font in the Live feed. so if they want to download a revised version they have the option.

Comment by p2pnut 29th november 2012

Thanks p2pnut, that "k" really fits in now, I copied your suggestion. It amazes me to realise the extend of not being able to 'see' solutions when I see/know/feel that a glyph doesn't look quite right.
I appreciate your help and marvel at your understanding the 'system' I followed when designing the glyphs (I'm checking them yet again to make sure I got all the anchor shapes right). I want this font to look as good as I can make it.
I added the brackets plus changed "P" and "R". I think the glyphs look more cohesive now, but I keep an open mind.
If there are further problem zones I appreciate your knowledgeable input p2pnut :)

Very nice! 2, 3, 5, and the top of R look a bit small, and the accented characters could be put in their own slots in the More Latin set. (Easy way to do it is to click expert mode and go to menu/advanced/commands/copy to Latin accents) :)

Comment by V. Sarela (Yautja) 1st december 2012

Thank you yautja!
I have changed the 2, 3, 5, 8, and the R and B, have placed accented letters into the more Latin set and have added a few more.
I feel the set of bedknobs are slowly finding their correct bedsteads ;)

How I not notice this?! THIS IS A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! Nice! 10/10+fav

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 24th january 2013

Added more diacritics and useful symbols. Tidied the "t" and "i". If you don't see any obvious problems then the font is finished for a few months ...

Comment by Aeolien 12th september 2013

Revisiting some old fonts I decided to tidy this one up as there was a lot of corruption; I also added a few new ideas.
