A massive improvement on your Donibo font. The 'k' needs work though, it looks a little weak, and the lower 's' could do with being a bit thicker. Great work.

Thanks, Djnippa.

I'm working right now in k, v, y, and all that crazy diagonals. S curves are so haaaaaaaard to do!!!

Comment by Icelar 25th april 2014

Great. 10/10. I see that you have made N in a typically lowercase way--you could consider doing the same for R. The whole thing reminds me of Bayer-Type.

Beautiful!!

The S looks to be leaning to the left a wee bit - perhaps the ball at the bottom could be moved to the left slightly.

I love your "G" it is a great artistically pleasing font! 10/10

Comment by tortoiseshell 26th april 2014

Suggestions... it's so beautiful though-- Perhaps the S/s could be improved and the upperleft serif on the x stands out somehow. The r and a also seem to be somewhat inconsistent, and the k's top stroke could be improved?

Cohnisgone- Yeah, bayer forms have been tortured in the making of this font.

P2p- I'm redoing the whole figure trying to preserve thickness in the middle, but that's a good point. Probably I'll make 5 versions or so and choose then.

Time.peace: Thank u! =)

Umbreon: I strongly agree with x, s and k,k they seem a little bit off. R is getting a lowercase version right now, if it works better that this one, I'll replace it. Thanks for the suggestions. ;)

Really beautiful!

Some suggestions:

Double-bowl g
Thicker k and s
Curl on upper part of f
Thinner z and r
Taller, smoother t
Bigger tail on Q
More angular x
Numbers?

Just some suggestions, hope this helps
