@Frodo7: I did realise that was not your intention, as I had
looked into Preissig. It was interesting to discover that his
'straight lines' are actually
@minimum: Thank you for your kind words. You have mentioned two
keywords: angular and faceted. I spotted a trend in type design
which replaces perfect curves with crude polygonal contours. Is it
a rebellious movement against perfection, or returning to the roots
of woodcarving and linocut, all made by hand? Or is it a
resurrection of
@four: Thank you for your comment. To be exact, the goal was not
to approximate the curves, but to deconstruct them. As I mentioned
in the very first comment,
You didn't need a Character Map to create the characters since it did not exist in Windows 2.0. the QuickBasic code I had written was the "generator", and Notepad was the "renderer".
@elmoyenique: Very nice. It could be a Stylistic Alternate.
Again, your version is similar to the Q of Ortica Bold. I studied a
few similar low-poly fonts
@Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM): Thank you. I'll probably keep both
(number 4s), one for Alternate, as you said. I have another
workshop file for discarded versions of other glyphs.
I only noticed change o 3 of them 6 and 9 which I like better more open now, on 4 I cant decide, new one fits better the set, old I like better in general.
I like the old 4 more, but for the others, the new ones are better (could have one form as an alt; the Private Use Area is a great place for that as it doesn't intefere with Unicode allocations)
Actually, I temporary unpulbished Junita just for major updates. I finally finished the Latin Extended-A characters by the way.
