3 Downloads3%20Downloads32 Comments2%20Comments285 Glyphs85%20Glyphs85Born out of guentersen's statement of observing 'how the glyphs "interact"'. This version does away with as much unsightly negative space as possible, leaving just a thick, bold, heavy, almost completely filled block of text...yet maintain legibility. I am all for negative space, but this font, apparently, isn't. Can't fight the glyph--like lemmings on the go--you just have to provide a way to get them where ever they are headed.

5 Downloads5%20Downloads57 Comments7%20Comments7195 Glyphs195%20Glyphs195All that slaving away with the stacked bricks paid off. It's given me the flexibility, with a little cheating here and there, to strike a fairly convincing bold version that manages to hold the look of the original despite having a weight of 4h x 3v bricks instead of 2h x 1 1/2v. Not quite pound-for-pound. I cheated by raising the whole thing one brick height as well. Otherwise I would have struggled with the tighter glyphs.All%20that%20slaving%20away%20with%20the%20stacked%20bricks%20paid%20off.%20It%27s%20given%20me%20the%20flexibility%2C%20with%20a%20little%20cheating%20here%20and%20there%2C%20to%20strike%20a%20fairly%20convincing%20bold%20version%20that%20manages%20to%20hold%20the%20look%20of%20the%20original%20despite%20having%20a%20weight%20of%204h%20x%203v%20bricks%20instead%20of%202h%20x%201%201%2F2v.%20Not%20quite%20pound-for-pound.%20I%20cheated%20by%20raising%20the%20whole%20thing%20one%20brick%20height%20as%20well.%20Otherwise%20I%20would%20have%20struggled%20with%20the%20tighter%20glyphs.

4 Downloads4%20Downloads47 Comments7%20Comments7194 Glyphs194%20Glyphs194Whole lot of stackin' going on. Approx 8 stacks per glyph, I'm sick to death of it.

I've done quite enough "grasping at straws" fonts for the time being so here's one where I've curbed my instinct to intagliate my favourite glyphs. 

I'm trying to incorporate all the things I fancy in this sort of font without violating where FontStruct is willing to go.

This is where most of my fonts fall down (and probably this one, too). Eventually I'll pare away all my affectations and I'll end up with a font that looks like... Helvetica.
