Description:
:) one of the glyphs i did for the fs community font - started with the c. caps version available here. the caps version actually has a uc and lc so you can combine both to have true lc and small caps :)

wonderful idea and execution. i really dig your decision on "e". great work.
how about doing one that is completely in the height of your alternative "s"?

I'm so glad you did this. I loved the c in FS Collaboration.

I think the vertical part of the glyph two before the ? (the +, maybe?) makes a nice s.

yyeahh!
it looks friggin good. probably good enough for sale, but i think, that "Z" needs rethinking though.

this one looks a little, as if it's "bandaged", like a mummy :)

i think it must be 1 or 5, bacause the height is the main argument...

hehe

I agree with Kix about #1. Although it's hard to tell from the sample because your constant is changing. Give it to us again with a constant context.

Brilliant work! I think you should use Z-3 because it looks as tho it doesnt stagger as far below the baseline

In fact, im not sure. I think the Z just looks perculiar beside the Y!

thanks joe. so i finished the caps a while back in a cloned version and have decided to release as a separate file. only started as the caps, but after previewing decided to modify and make small caps too. i think i finally settled a one or two z's :)
