Nice and well-balanced sans serif face. I really like the subtle ink traps and fine curves. Two issues - both are just wishful thinking. One: it would be nice to have a little overshoot at rounded characters. Two: having different weights from thin to extra bold. Great work. 10/10
@Frodo7 // Thanks very much! If you could show me how overshoots are done on such a small scale, I'd love that. I've seen will.i.om do it but can't figure it out. Regarding weights: great idea! Thanks! :-)
@demonics: The short answer: you can't make overshoots in FS at this scale. However, there is a trick to shorten the vertical strokes a little so as they end a little above the base line. With sophisticated composite techniques you can make bricks slightly shorter: 7/8 size. As a result - unlike the letter on my picture - some letters in FS will float above the base line, or rest on their curved bowls. My solution works best with simple straight designs. In case the vertical strokes have an angled part, you have to pull off new tricks.
like dm Parkway: poster-bold deco face.

@winty5, architaraz, simin.msd // Thank you guys; I really appreciate it. Oh architaraz, I'm not a master…yet :-)
winty5 — everything's experimental for me on fs, and I quite like my version. Maybe I'll add an alternate.
