How do you make these such amazing fonts, along with amazing examples? Do you have previous typographic experience? Just wondering.

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 25th july 2013

Well, I fell in love with type one year ago, more or less, nothing before that,...reading a lot of magazines counts as "experience"?? XD. I'm not a designer, just a pretty curious art student. My examples are all inspired directly in the ones shown in pages such as myfonts, fontshop and so on... But right now my only obsession is making something useful and distinctive.

That's the reason why every single comment is so important... and yours specially!

by the way: you have absolutely nothing to envy. You have 185 fonts in your account, that's impressive. ;)

You know exactly how to present your work, which is maybe 50% of success. Welcome to fontstruct!

These are fun. It’s rare to see wide-format images on fontstruct due to the 380 px width restriction. Demonstrating the effectiveness of a fontstruction at small sizes is an under-utilized approach, IMHO.

The family is growing well. A good solid slab design. 10/10

It might be worth taking the letter spacing on the 'f' one square to the left (to avoid the large white space between 'f' and other letters) ...

Very good samples! I have noticed that uploading them as png rather than jpeg gives an even crisper look.

Comment by four 25th july 2013

Yes, the png has less compression than jpeg. If you could do tiff, it would be the most crisp. More compression=bad, and no compression=good. Lesson learned.

Great font, cool samples, amazing family.

Believe me, just because I have a lot of fonts doesn't mean there good. My first five fonts or so were pretty bad. Yours have a much better quality to them. Quality overrides quantity :)
