After exploring motion and different types of movement, I was drawn to dance, specifically Jazz dance. Jazz dance became popular in the 1920's and "Jazz" is inspired by the posters that were used to promote different balls and dances at the time.

Looks really nice man. love the G the most I think. spacing looks a bit varied which makes it hard to read a few characters; m,n and u,v. but overall really clear type

Cheers man! Yeah, spacing is something I've been having trouble with but I'm getting on to it.

A good looking font. 10/10

To help with letter spacing ...

Keep all glyphs to the (blue) left guide. Then select Menu/View/Letter Width (make sure Menu/Advanced/Lock Guides is unchecked) and move the dark green Letter Guide to adjust the spacing. Final letter width can be finely adjusted using Preview/Menu/Spacing/Global

Hope this helps :)

Thank you! Spacing should be sorted now.
