funky new stlye. i like that thumb action on the F and G :)

Nice one Aphoria. I could see some fun fills with this one. Dig that @ symbol.

This is very well done, aphoria. Love the 1 and the G. The join at the C looks like it's puckering up to kiss you. :)

The @ is gorgeous...but it is supposed to have the single bowl a in it...I think.

I'm running out of superlatives. I need to go to the store and get some more.

What have I got left in the box? Charming indeed. Subtle. Absolutely beautiful colour.

really cool solutions on this one.
great "@"!
are you gonna try an ampersand"

Aha! That Museo @ is tasty. So there are precedents. And Corbel is an Ascender Corp. font, so I guess there's research behind it. But...from my own Buddha thinking, the 'at the rate of' symbol must have been developed a long time ago, pre-publishing (?), maybe. The point is, the one bowl @ can be written in a single stroke, while the typeset a requires two strokes. Since the purpose of @ was, probably, to reduce the writing out of the same stuff over and over in accounting ledgers and balance sheets, it only makes sense if it was single stroke.

That's all aside. Since the real purpose of writing is to communicate, and since both a @ do the same thing effectively, I suppose it is OK to use either.

/me off to research @

From History of the 'at' symbol

"History tells us that the @ symbol stemmed from the tired hands of the medieval monks. During the Middle Ages before the invention of printing presses, every letter of a word had to be painstakingly transcribed by hand for each copy of a published book. The monks that performed these long, tedious copying duties looked for ways to reduce the number of individual strokes per word for common words. Although the word "at" is quite short to begin with, it was a common enough word in texts and documents that medieval monks thought it would be quicker and easier to shorten the word "at" even more. As a result, the monks looped the "t" around the "a" and created it into a circle-eliminating two strokes of the pen."

Thanks for my very own @. :)

I thought this was thalamic's when I first saw it. Good work, aphoria. I like the overlaps.

Wow a lot of very clever work.
Has a similar look to FT Roundabout.

@aph: LOL! True.

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “Charmer” is now a Top Pick.

Sorry for the delay, aphoria – Somehow I overlooked this one. :-/

Wonderful, as everyone said. My only comment is about the j – I think it creates a big whole inside of words. You could try to make it more like the g and the y.

(And maybe the 7 could use the spine of the ? :-)

today i feel a more educated and inspired man, but that's one heck of a cool @!
