Hey tag, don't go man. Your standard is as high as anyones' and you never know when the spark will ignite.

C'mon. You've had your share of innovation. But, I think your real genius is in your persistence and constant refinement.

When you compare this to the vast majority of work (I'm using this term very loosely) on FontStruct, I cannot figure out how someone thinks this is only worth a 7.

???

On Odile: It is a fine fontstruction, obviously a work in progress. I observed your method of releasing works half done, just to see what others might say about. It is very wise, and reflects the true nature of font design: often a long process of constant refinements. A classic time-honored type face is like a delicate old wine: light, subtle, with complex flavours and body. Needless to say, Fontstruct is the antithesis of this.

I'm struggling to find the right words to tell you how much I appreciate your work. They were always great source of inspiration for me. Your fonts have a style nobody else have. I could recognise your works by your hallmarks, even if you submit them under a different name. (There are even a few newbies who tried to emulate them.) With a spectacular record of 163 shared fontstruction, many of them exceptionally strong text face, I'm somewhat baffled to hear you to "run out of ink".

No, my Dear Friend. You did not. It is only temporary, if you feel this way. You know all too well, there are ups and downs. Creative minds, writers, composers, actors, painters, scientists, chess players etc., with a few notable exceptions, experienced this periodic oscillations between two mental states: (1) to feel inspired, flying, ecstatic, and to be very productive or (2) to feel a bit depressed, apathic and consequently to produce less work or none at all. Most of them managed to use their fertile periods to create as much as possible, and tried to survive the doldrums. This is the price we have to pay for having such brilliance others may lack. I wish you to come out of this valley soon, and have a dazzling renaissance period again!

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