Third Font Draft

These take longer than I initially anticipated. Uppercase coming soon. 


This was a more difficult font to fully realize, which I still don't think I've accomplished. Definitely needs development particularly on the following characters, which I think are a bit sketchy. No pun intended. 

• c, e, g, o, x, y, w

These were the characters that I had the most trouble with, especially the c, since a and b have straight edges, I tried to incorporate that in to the c glyph, with little success. (See Below)

I do like this font, and I think that it is readable, although that being said I have no idea what it looks like when at a smaller size. But currently I think it could at least be used, possibly, for larger scale work. I've tried to create my own version of a modern day Gothic font. While not being too old-fashioned and making some letters look almost completely different to their Roman counter-parts, I've tried to keep some resemblance. 

Another thing that may need change is the descender height. Mainly to contrast with the high ascender's but also because the elongated letters look not out of place, but just wrong. The J for example is far too elongated than is necessary and would look a lot better if it was shorter. I want to emphasize height with this font as I think that attribute lends itself to achieving an elegant font.

Finally, I would too add that I think it's important to keep an element of hidden consistency when designing a font such as this, while each character may be vastly different, there are key give-aways that link the characters together and make them look as though they belong in a set. This idea needs tweaking and development before that happens in my opinion, although we'll see what sort of feedback is given.
