  for all "I don't know about type design" designers:

  In a well designed font, the glyphs/characters do not follow the x-height or caps-height strictly, but rather give the visual impression that they do. the x-height (same for caps height) is the height characters with a straight top go up to, characters like x/z, but characters with a round top (like c/o/e) rather overshoot that line a bit, so they visually look like they end at that line.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ove…

  • for that same reason, a round char. shouldn't be geometricly round but rather upside down eggshaped– neverblink

  please stick to black only, as for 3-d and stuff, you can use anything that would works in a -simple- font production. like it was done here: http://www.veer.com/products/typ…
