Very cleanly done! I think that's as close to Avante Garde as you can get in FontStruct. Nice attention to detail with the accents, in particular the cedilla and lowercase eth, as well as the accurate Euro symbol.

Superb work taking advantage of the the half-angle bricks. Giving this a quick look over, it looks like the capital X should use 45 degree bricks, since V and W are so wide by comparison. That ampersand is flawless. You've obviously mastered the art of working with the angles.

Thanks.
I know there is still some changes to be done on some characters. the lack of some bricks mainly another diagonal degree would solve lots of issues, but these new bricks really pushed what can be achieved with Fontstruct and this was more an exercise to see what could be done with them.

I like your font so much. I am going to give it a excellent rating

Eskema. On FontShop, i found a version of Avant Garde which had Latin Extended A characters and the
lowercase f with hook in Latin Extended B as well as other features.

JH34, there are some missing characters from the original Avant Garde for sure, it has 259 characters and I only did 206. I'll probably do the complete set in time

This is incredible! I know the spacing on this must be a nightmare but I think the o and maybe a few other round chars could do with a bit less.

Esta também está excelente!
Só um pequeno detalhe: modifica o espaço no caractere destinado ao espaço entre letras “space”, senão as palavras ficam todas pegadas.

Formas limpas, elegantes. Olhadas muito boas, com o espaçamento relaxado. 10/10
