Very clever. Actually, I've tried to make steep diagonals too, but your solution is much more elegant. It's worth 10p alone.
 |
Amen to that. Unlike mine, barely any of your glyphs look like they've been tortured into submission.
|
Thanks guys. While there is certainly room for improvement, I was pleasantly surprised at how the curves turned out. I was worried that not having the shallower angles would be a problem, but I think the curves are ok.
 |
Interesting technique with very good results.
One idea for improvement: make connections between bowls and stems more consistent (now a g are different than b d p q).
|
Good idea...I changed a, g, p, and q to be more like b and d.
I also changed the k, but it's still not so great.
And, the numbers need work...the 4 looks so anemic.
|
|
About the 4... good luck with that one. Probably the single most obstreperous glyph in the alphabet.
 |
very nice execution and innovation. i like these fonts that "blend in." they don't call attention to themselves, but the effort behind them to make them look effortless - that's where skill and talent take over. well done.
@tag - i don't know, them k's can be some ornery critters :)
|
@intaglio lol...those 4's really get your goat, don't they?
@funk_king Thanks for noticing. These type of fonts do take a lot of work that is not too obvious at first glance.
|
When's it getting apink dot, I wonder. It's getting better all the time.
|
Thanks intaglio. Your approval is worth as much as a pink dot.
|
Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “Venus Sans” is now a Top Pick.
|
You guys are making too much great stuff, it's hard to keep up with the pink dots! :-)
|
|
Thanks for the Pink Dot!
Damn, what a coincidence. I picked Venus because it started with V and could show off the steep angles.
Maybe I will change it.
 |
I'd like to second gferreira comments. The level of work here lately and the sheer volume of quality is staggering. Everyone is crushing it here this summer. I wish I had more time to write comment on everyones work. Keep it up.
|
Word to that. There has been a big run of really good stuff the last couple months.
I think the FS Collaboration 1 spurred our creativity.
