This has potential to be brilliant, but I think the lower case is a bit too small. It doesn't complement the upper case.

Great first font (love the 8).

I quite agree with djnippa about the lowercase. It could easily be taken up to the height of l/c in the word 'Cab'. The form of the glyphys is great ... some neat ideas.

Thanks Djnippa and p2pnut, following your remarks I made some changes into my typography. tell me what you think about them.

So much better :)

I took a clone and noticed that you haven't set a letter spacing (Preview/Advanced/Spacing). I suspect a setting of something like 1.5 to 2 would help. The lack of spacing plus the negative kerning of the 't' means that it overlaps ascenders and dots.

While I was looking at the clone I took the liberty of trying a few alternative ideas for the t. The idea on the right could even be used, upside down, to reduce the width of the 'f'.

actually you have some sweet ligatures going on there because of the overlap - don't change it :) sorry p2p, hate to disagree :(

Looks like you have set the letter spacing, which has solved the problem :)

@fk: no probs buddy ... it's the variety of views that makes FS such a great place to try out ideas and to learn. I know how much I have gained from the rest of you ... and am still gaining every day.
