The font looks great! :) Can't wait to be able to try it on my maps ;)
Font Design = Crack :)
Not man not woman but FONTMACHINE.... Excellent work Gidde.. I would vote on numerals as well as like Ascension I use these fonts for other things as well. :)Quote:
Nope Jax you were right, I just get called "him" so often on the internet and xbox that I don't bother to correct it every time
@Francois: Thanks! I hope to get a working version out really soon.
@SG: It is indeed, lol.
@jtougas: Yeah, I'm starting work on the numerals. It's just really hard compared to the letters; no references so I have to guess what will look "right" with the rest of the font. Ah well, it'll be good practice!
Oh, crud, now you've done it, Gidde. Do you ever see this one element or feature, or FONT, that makes you want to start a new project, just so you can use it? That's Ferric Tide. It didn't help that I was already wishing I could emulate some of those 17th-18th century styles. And I want to not neglect my other (ok, ONE of my other) obsessions, the geofiction world of Aurora --- you know, that place a2area has introduced y'all to? So now I'm mentally rummaging around, Hmmmmmmmmmm <lost in thought>....
BTW, once you complete it, find an historic railroading or model railroading community to offer it to as well - it REALLY fits what would've been seen on 1860's-1910's railroad equipment. Long skinny equipment called for elegant extended fonts.
Thanks on several levels! The compliment made me blush and I had to repeat it to my husband; the tip on railroading communities is most welcome; and that pic of the railroad car just went a LONG way toward solving my conundrums on the numerals and the ampersand!!
Okay, I took a first pass at kerning and also at numerals. The numerals were really hard, so I've lost objectivity -- any critique/suggestions would be most welcome.
If you released it as is right now, i would so totally snag it and use the hell out of it :)
