Description:
This is inspired by everything and nothing. Since the first brick, "signo" was made for titles and other big letterings. one of my main ideas to this was trying to combine classic and modern styles of type in one font... hm. there's no lower case in construction, but numerals and roman symbols to follow. feel free to download and use it :) PS: the normal preview sucks. best watch it in pixelpreview...

Gosh I want this higher than 5.7! Love to see a lower case. I always want what I can't have.

ok, thanks intaglio.
it was worth it :)
finished...

i know there's a displaced looking brick on "~", but without placing that, the preview looks crappy.

The 8 is very nice...and the @ is just pure sexy.

Fabulous. The lower-case g really works. It shouldn't but it does! I thin the affinity between it and the "f" reinforces it. No mean feat getting a believable asterisk, either. I'm filled with admiration.

I agree that the preview looked really bad before. However, now you have gigantic leading! ;-)
