This is an example to show how this typeface would look when used with longer body of text.

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “Legolas Codex” is now a Top Pick.
|
It's never too late. :-)
But some details feel a bit weird to me. The basic construction suggests a broad nib pen ( o n h m i k $ ), but many details contradict this model – for example the contrast angle in d is flipped, a b q have weight both at the top and at the bottom of the bowls (compare with b d), v and w are different.

Thank you gferreira. Very kind of you. And it's never too late. The Legolas series was the apple of my eye. It had been conceived now many years ago, when I was experimenting with the true triangular grid. It looks even better with 60° angles. The issues you've raised are largely unintentional, and come out of the constrains of such geometry. But I'll think about it again.

Just to remind you, tomorrow is 22nd September. You all know what day it is.

Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere (Vernal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere)

@p2pnut: It was close. September 22nd, 1290 (by Shire reckoning) is the birthday of Bilbo Baggins (Book One, Chapter I, The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien).

Of course ... 111th birthday at that :)
