  so I am working again on my font... finally I wanna finish it one day :) the kerning options take so much time.

  so are there any suggestions? the G & S was my trouble child, now I am happy with the G, the S still looks weird..

  I don't like th E and the Q
  Q: remove the line in the hole
  E: move your middle line up

  • yes re: the E– sputnik21/3

    it looks like bank gothic– epete222/3

    if the bar goes up, A, B, F, G, H P, R, S, X, and Y would all half to change. I'd extend the bar in E to the right some.– jaylarson3/3

  it looks good here, but as you said bigger its a wee bit heavy, maybe just straightening the left side of the vertical line a bit more

  Neutratham? :)

  I'm no fontsmithie, but I'd use it. My only comments are that I'd like to see a bit more character in the K and the W and that I can't judge a font just by its upper case - it's the numerals and functions that turn me on. I, for one like the G.

  • I am working on the numerals and functions, the font will stay just in upper cases.– moamoa1/2

    taking note of what turns detrius on. never know when that might come in handy, ya know?– sputnik22/2

  Good work, moamoa. I like the E and the G. Not sure about the S - looks a bit clumsy. I think the top half needs to be opened up a bit more.

  • ja I know this problem but when I open it apiece more. it looks like it tilt to the right– moamoa

  I'm not too keen on what looks like a flat section on the S, the J amy suffer in that regard too. slightly.

  • amy = may

  Thats a fine wide grotesk. I'm not so sure it needs tweaking and I like the G. Don't do what I did, made a pixel font and never released it because of endless tweaks..

  if he did that he'd have to do the H and the F and the R etc etc and lose all the character of the font tho.

  • indeed, thats the point.. somtimes you need to make a compromise– moamoa1/2

    ok, i see it is intended in E, where it is catually the opposite, but I don think it is working in B, looks weird– drgs_not_hugs2/2

  i really dig it. the comment about the E is right on, and the S does look like it's somehow tilting clockwise one degree or something.

  also, something about the B.

  I think you just need to decide on a height for your bar in the B E F G R. Otherwise I really like it.

• moamoa

  cast... are you serious?

  • no......... lol
    just wantd to c ur reaction– cast1/10

    I hope not– Dr_Rand2/10

    Leicester Upon Shite, hahahaha– Dr_Rand3/10

    lol, if you joke, at least take a good font as example :)– moamoa4/10

    but he has a point, there are hundred typefaces out there just like that– drgs_not_hugs5/10

    thats not an argument... there are 1000 shirts out there, there are 1000 houses out there...– moamoa6/10

    i'm sure there are more than 1000 houses out there...– iCanHasQBN7/10

    not an argument to argue over its aesthetic value, the typeface is fine, but in case you are going to make money on it later....– drgs_not_hugs8/10

    I don't think he's going to sell it– Dr_Rand9/10

    then ud have to make all lowercase, numbers, punct-uation, and double number of that of some obscure charctrs– drgs_not_hugs10/10

• moamoa

  lol ... it doesn´t look like bank gothic not either gill sans...

  when you compare it to some excisting fonts...
  its between Engravers & Gotham, but much wider and roundish.

  • I think it will be a very useful typeface for certain specific applications– Dr_Rand1/2

    Like for giving away to me, for free.– mjbauer2/2
