As you can see this is final edited version of my font. Looks a lot better.
Anyway, there are several changes I've made frim the initial testing of Pixel V2.
l Opted for a sans-serif font. Lends itself to the style I chose a over serif font. It's also a lot easier on the eye.
l Mixed alterations from revised characters of artefact 4 (the characters k, w, i.). They're now more in keeping with the overal style.
l Re-designed some upper-case such as the M, W and N
l Manually edited character width in fontlab, I realised that some of the upper-case characters were too wide, and that's why they looked odd. Many of the upper-case characters have had their overall width reduced to be more in keeping with the lower-case.
l Proper kerning implemented, upper-case, lower-case and punctuation glyphs. There are standardized gaps between the letters now. Flat edges have a gap of 35upm, rounded edges have 30upm. The lower-case r, f and t are the only exceptions because of their unique shape.
l Reduced stroke 0.5mm in Illustrator. Stroke width now 2.5mm. While the thinner stroke width does hinder readability, it's a non-issue as most of the characters are now clearer and easier to recognise.
l Reduced Caps-height as well as lowered any horizontal strokes for upper-case to sit above the x-height for added consistency. Now the Upper-case doesn't jump about all over the place. I think the font looks better for it.
- There is also the added thickness to the x and v characters so now they appear the same width as the other characters.
- Additionally the dots above the i and j characters have been raised to become more distinguished. They now sit half way between the x-height and the ascender.
- Re-designed lower-case r, w as well as made alterations to lower-case f.
