Details

Description:
I could have called this "Ribbon Triline"... But there are enough differences with Ribbon Inline to merit giving this FontStruction a new name. For example, it has a proper lower case, and the cap height is slightly beneath the ascender line, to increase legibility.

Thanks, intaglio.

You know, after I shared this FontStruction, I realized that it has a close resemblance to kindergaden. I'd forgotten all about it... er, consciously, that is. :-D

Delightful! It's festive (decorative? not sure of quite the right word) but still keeps a nice cleanness of line. (Or should that be lines? :-D )

Thanks, oisinae. I think that you can use either of those adjectives with Ligne Claire. There is just something cheerful about stripes. :-)

Nice work ! My font "Folda" is in the same way, but yours is also more expressive ^-^

About folded paper letters, I tryed this on Illustrator :

Thanks, guys!

Timothée, your Illustrator example makes me wonder: have you thought of making a chromatic version of Folda? It would be like Legorama.

Thank you, Noah.

And an FYI for anybody who downloaded an earlier version of this FontStruction: I finished the Basic Latin and More Latin character sets today. I don't think I'll be adding any more characters!

Very pretty. One of the finest example on the ribbon theme. 10/10

Looks like I am following Frodo's lead through the Hidden Gems ... and it's well worth it. This is excellent :)

Thank you both! I've been making small adjustments to the diacriticals, so you are probably the first to download the improved version. Also, I am working on a chromatic version, inspired by Timothée's comment above... It's coming soon!
