AWSOME
 |
it's like deco-mono :) very fresh.
 |
@zzkokirikidzz: Thanks!
|
@funk_king: A favorable review from a superstar designer like you means a lot to me. I appreciate the kind words!
 |
Oh my goodness! Seriously cool.
 |
Awesome. It generates nice interference patterns at different sizes. With this font you are a superstar too. 10/10
 |
Gorgeous Glyphs!
And I agree with Frodo: it does create a nice Moiré effect at different sizes.
 |
That is beatiful ... a tour de force of the first order. Shame I can only give it a 10.
There are some real gems there such as the * and #
 |
Sorry to sound so harsh but, at last a font that isn't like every other font you've designed.
Are you going to do a non mono spaced font as an option?
If so I'd decrease the SPACE key to make it just over half the letter width. Also have you thought about making M & W should be wider.
 |
Amazing!
 |
Incredible. Agree with p2pnut, the * is top notch. Bravo.
 |
Great! With the big G. And I have a question: This isn't one of these times to make it top pick?
 |
I love it, congrats !
 |
Sweetness. I love the way the the curves look like highlights.
 |
Wowee-Zowee! 10 points.
|
@thalamic: Thanks, Ata! You know how much I value your opinion.
|
@Frodo7: Coming from you, this is so important to me! I can't stop grinning.
|
@cayo: Thanks to you as well!
|
Cheers, pnut! * and # are my favorites, too.
P.S. We've got to stop meeting like this! :)
|
@djnippa: Yes, many of my fonts are octagonal, though I've tried experimenting with different proportions and weights. As for a non-monospaced variant, I don't think I have the patience to try it. The grid for each glyph is 95 x 57 bricks, by far the largest I've attempted. I actually had to delete at least 20 glyphs, because the editing kept malfunctioning. I even tried splitting it into two fonts, but that did not go well either. So thanks for all your suggestions, but this font will have to remain an only child.
|
This concept is a winner. I encourage you to develop it further to a small font family. Add more weight and make a heavy and superfat version; or do a narrow as well as extended version. You can also experiment with slab serif, or outline varieties and see if they work. Good Luck.
|
@jmarquez, afrojet, chavez ravine, igorrossi, aphoria and SquarePeg: all of you are responsible for spectacular FontStructions that occupy a level far above mine, so thanks to everyone for your positive feedback. (And now the score for this font is a "sitting duck" for yet another visit from the font troll!)
|
@Frodo7: I really appreciate your encouragement; however, please see my response to djnippa. I don't know how many technical problems you experienced while creating your wonderful Escher fonts, but I spent countless hours trying to improve this font's existing glyphs, only to find that the FontStructor simply refused to save the changes. Eventually, I was forced to release the font as it now stands to save my sanity. While I'm pleased with the result, I'm unwilling to put myself through more of that torture!
|
You can read about my struggles with FS when I worked on Hommage à Escher and Gestalt (fragment). I had my share of frustrations, but so did others you've listed above, I'm pretty sure. There was a time when I felt I just want to quit and never to return to FS. I'm glad I persevered. NO PAIN, NO GAIN.
P.S.: I hope the links work properly.

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “Bevel'sAdvocateMono” is now a Top Pick.
|
@gferreira: Thanks for the Top Pick! You made a good day even better.
|
@chavez ravine: Thanks for your suggestion that this font should be a Top Pick! It happened yesterday.
|
M, R, and W have been tweaked.
|
5 has been reworked to correct a large design inconsistency.
|
Looking at it again, it seems even better than before. The PXL view is heart-stopping. Please include auto-defibrillation glyphs in your follow-up masterpiece.
|
@thalamic: It's very kind of you to come back to this font almost two months later to post a second compliment! I really appreciate your generosity.

@thalamic: We FontStructors owe you a huge debt of gratitude for discovering that our work is now being featured on the web pages of instantShift.com!
Because of your tip, I happened to notice that Bevel'sAdvocateMono was shown incorrectly, with spaces separating the three words. I sent them a message yesterday, and this morning they responded that the error has been fixed. I know this was a only small matter, but it was important to me that my font's name be presented properly.
So thanks again for informing us about the exposure of our fonts at instantShift.com!
