Pixel Slab

I love both Gildas ❤️, but I prefer this pretty curvy blacky.
@beate - I agree with @elmoyenique. 'Regular' is my favorite of the two. :^)
Heavy serif pixel font with high contrast. I wouldn't call it a slab serif because the E, F, L, T, Z are not slab serifs; and the C, c, S, s, € are completely devoid of serifs. It doesn't really matter, however, as long as the letters work nicely together. And they do. I would consider the following: the axis of C, G, c, e, 0 (zero), € is backward leaning, whereas the other letters have a perpendicular axis. They don't look good next to each other. The colon and semicolon are not at the same level. Diacritical marks: well-crafted with good proportions in general. The tilde could be a little bigger. The Umlaut, well, it has quarter-size pixels. These are minor things. The font itself looks very impressive. I see some resemblance to Bodoni and, perhaps Cooper. I may be wrong. The third ingredient of the blend is undoubtedly Beate-style. 10/10
Lovely pixel design, especially the "C/c"
@ Frodo,
Thanks Frodo for this comment, it is as always a factual analysis. I see the points mentioned and I am not completely convinced of the result. That's why I posted the two drafts in advance, just to read some constructive criticism - as formulated by you.
Spontaneously, I had also thought more of a serif, but most of the serifs are more like a slab. I am also not happy with the trema. It looks too strong next to the other diacritics... There is definitely room for improvement.
A font with a very pleasant, homely character. It's like a font like this can be seen on a Merry Christmas sweater (and the pixel size allows it). The only thing that confuses me is the letter M, with a serif at the bottom, as if it were an inverted W.
Thanks for your nice comments : )
@elmo, @Goatmeal, @Dmitriy
Thank you Rob for the special mention.
Congratulations on the TP! Have you drawn those lovely pixel matrioskas? BTW, I thought I appreciated a bit more space than usual on the right side of O, Q and g. Also, the A is a bit skewed to the left and overlaps when it follows other letters (R, K, M ...), IMHO, although this may have been done on purpose, Maestra.
@ elmo
They are actually vector drawings, but I simplified them and reassembled them from individual squares in the style of the font.
Yes, the A is intentionally moved to the left. V, W, Y were too. I will definitely change that, especially since I decided to still continue working on the kerning.
: )
i have a question: how did you get these "ft" and "ct" ligatures? is that unicode character sets, a patreon only feature, or something else?
@erikkoev I don't know. i've never seen those ligatures before.
@erikkoev
ft≠ſt => Latin small ligature long S T/U+FB05 (U+017F & U+0074)
ct: Private Use Area
What a beautiful pixel font! I love the contrast, the ligatures and of course the illustration.

@ four Thank you very much.
@p4bl0 you know saying that hurts the creator's feelings.
@beate also i'm glad i got to know you and those ligatures you found.
@ Logan 2020
I'm glad to read that, thanks for your curiosity, interest and comment.
Beautiful serif!!
Looks like Cooper Black and Times New Roman mixed
Ik this is a serif font, but it says slab
