So here I am again. Nearly six years on from the time I drew the first few characters of this typeface and I've dug it up again for yet another redraw.

All you need to know is in the link above, some feedback from the designers/typo geeks amongst you would be greatly appreciated.

Great work, Stimuli. Left some comments.

I really like it..i dont know much about typeface conventions..but the typeface seems very geometric in nature. i could see it being using in a fashion maganzine or a techy. mag as well.

very nice stimuli.
Although there are elements of the older version that I think I prefer. It seems less rounded and more serious than the 07 version. just my preference.
Love the Q!

I agree with Baskerville – they're almost two different typefaces entirely, although that might have more to do with the presentation of the 1st vs. the 2nd. Sort of hard to do a direct comparison.
I could/would find uses for both though. Nice work.

Cheers for the feedback! Early days yet - I just hope I can follow through with this one. At least I've got plenty time on my hands to work on it ;) I'll be developing constantly so feedback on the updates would be appreciated too.
The face has been updated almost to the point of no recognition but then since I started there have been so many faces released with similar attributes I thought it was time for an overhaul.
I would like to find out if there's any elements of the original that I should try to work back in, like the curve on the vertical stems of the 'j' and 'r', or the bar on the base of the 'i' and 'I', things like that.
Thanks again!

I like it! It doesn't scale down nicely in this pdf though, is it just my adobe reader?
- Baskerville0
on that point about adobe reader.
I hate looking at pdfs in acrobat. They always look gross and scale badly. I now use OS X's Preview it renders everything much cleaner and scales well on screen.

Yeah, I get better results in Preview too... but it's probably the shitty draw quality because I threw it together pretty quickly. Most of this early version is outlined strokes, combined, expanded and resized. It needs tweaked to improve the quality and detail. Later versions will look much better :)

Here's the latest sample sheet with some of the suggested alts made. I'll, erm, just get back to it now then.

Oh, and here's a JPEG in case anyone can't be bothered to download the PDF.
