  Saw this the other day when you showed it in use on a sample sheet thing. Its a hard one to commit an opinion too becuase its very styled and theatrical, not a mainstream common use font... but I have to say I really like it and even considered asking you if you'd let me road teast it in a commercail job I have on at the moment... a book cover.

  You said that three times.

  I'll email you tomorrow when I'm back in the studio, otherwise you'll be discussing it with my girlfriend.

  this is just crit from a graffiti artist / letter tweaker. i'm not a hardcore font designer.

  not sure i'm a fan of the little dicks coming off the B, C, J, O, P, Q, S, etc...

  would like to see it used somewhere to see how they match up.

  @dearhead

  i see where you're going with those little spurs coming off the letters like i mentioned, but they don't work at all in small sizes.

  they look like a bad illustrator auto-trace artifact.

  i think the forms have enough character to communicate the ruggedness / industrial feeling without those added on.

  i'd keep it simple and cut those down to be smaller, or non-existent. just my $0.02

  yeah, i think thats fair... maybe i'll make an alternate set without those? Seriously would take 40 minutes to do, and would probably just extend the typeface's value.

  yes, the font is similar to brothers for sure.. i actually made it because i think that brothers is way overused, and doesn't have as much character as it could.

  • fair enough, suppose being over here, I've never seen anyone use Brothers... Pretty small amount of applications really...– neue75_bold1/3

    that it can be used for though.. but hey, I like what you've done so, good luck!– neue75_bold2/3

    you'd be surprised the amount of ridiculous shit it gets used for. scan a comm arts, and look for it :)– dearhead3/3

  This is fucking dope, dearhead. good job. Kind of agree that the little spurs will get too small at small sizes though.

  Is that Brothers next to your typeface? If so I must say you have much more work to do if you're after a quirkier alternative.
