My first font. I started it for the stencil competition, for fun, however it was extremely fascinating creating it :) Hope you like it!

Nice stencil work! The k is a bit narrow, is it not?

Comment by demonics 4th october 2012

This is really wonderful. Some of the curves are just spectacular. There does seem to be a bit of a width issue. If 'M' is however wide it is, the 'a' seems too wide in comparison. Or vice versa. Et cetera. While some shapes are delightful, like the 'c' or 'γ', others seem awkward, such as the 2, B. I think you have the making of something great here, which can be made greater with a little bit of rethinking and reworking.

What a way to start! Very distinctive. 10/10

You might find these of use when creating curves:

Thanks so much for your good and constructive comments :)
I'm reworking some letters you mentioned, now that I see the differences, I think you are right! What do you think? Better?
I'll see some other letters as well, and when I'm done with the redesign I'm gonna update the font.

Comment by aemil 4th october 2012

Great! And the updates look definitely better.

Yeah, the B and 2 are definitaly better (even though they lose some of their distinctive personality).

I could do a letter by letter breakdown, but this is not my font, therefore it should not be my vision. You are on the right track though.

Here's quite an original typeface. I'm afraid thalamic is right for the preview of all characters, although the width issue is less apparent in the sample. Maybe sometimes one has to focus more on the contexts in which the capitals appear.

I have updated the font with some changes in order for the letters to be more cohesive. If you want, you can download the new version.
Thanks again for all the help and the good comments!
