I particularly like the way Gustav's design exploits the brick shapes rather than fights them. It's uncanny. I'm trying to "go with the bricks" myself instead of forcing them. He said through gritted teeth.

@frodo: Sorry for engendering confusion. It's Gustavo, innit. gferreira our very own administructor.
@pnut: haha! I just did a temp cap S so I could finish the sample. I had a jam session to go to yesterday so I had to tear myself away from working on the font. I know it's got nothing to do with anything but I'm buzzing about that at the moment. A drummer friend who I haven't jammed with for twenty years is having a weekly jam session at his house, and we're all having a blast. I haven't played for such a long time, it's like getting my rocks off after a long abstinence. Blood blisters this morning. Working on my calluses.

I play the bass, but switched to drums a while ago because of RSI. The old bones are wearing out. However, having stopped bass playing for five years or so, I can now come back to it once a week as long as I don't practice. (Ha ha, I knew there was a perfect excuse.) And having taken up the drums myself I've got a deeper appreciation for what Ian (the drummer) does when we're jamming.

@PhaistosDisk: thanks for the encouragement.

Yes, I didn't want to do a straightforward blackletter. There are plenty of brilliant examples in the gallery, no way can I add anything there! Fontstruct lends itself to blackletter concepts quite nicely, doesn't it. It's the straight-sided thing as opposed to having to cope with curves, I suppose.
