Description:
A new font that contains a lot of characters, over 350. Most of them are very pixely looking (all characters were at the start, thus Riged (I know its not spelt that way)). I then started to add curves and circles to basic latin and I am going to continue until the font is a good font that everyone can enjoy. If you have any tips that would make this font better then please tell me as I am sure I have made a few mistakes. *UPDATE - "x", "M", "m" have now been fixed 5th July 2008

Glad you like it! Do you have any suggestions for my font (I only need ideas for the Basic Latin as I need them finished before I complete the rest of the font!)

Hi there. You have a nice start. The most important thing you need to learn is to keep your line widths consistent and letterforms balanced. Those are difficult things to master. Take a longer look at some professional typefaces — even those that are not modular — and see how they handle things like the bowls of the 'B' and widths of the 'E' and 'F'.

Diagonals are a challenge in FontStruct. With Riged, I think you'd be better served by avoiding them where possible and going for a more square face with right angles on the 'K' 'k' and 'R'.
