I never seen the capital Ɖ written that way before, but it sure looks interesting…

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) Sun, 7th april

i draw the capital Ɖ's like that in my fonts

Comment by Pszczół Mon, 8th april

The font looks okay, just 1 request: I want to see your s

Comment by Kiên Trung (trungdangTrung Kiên) Wed, 10th april

Okay.

The “ŋ” looks hard👊, I like it.

And this form variant of the African “Ɖ” make sence.

thanks

Comment by SUMMER701 Sun, 14th april

Would these work well for the capital B (top), digit 3 (middle), and digit 8 (bottom). I still can't think of anything for the S though.

Comment by Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) Sat, 20th april

I actually did something similar with these letters in my fs gigolo font (except for the 3), you can take a look if you're interested.

It's a great font anyway though.

Comment by moontr3 Sat, 20th april

Okay, I start to feel a little remorse for not wanting to share the lowercase s glyph with you recently, and I was perhaps a bit harsh with you in general.. Now, to keep seeing this font, still without that lowercase letter s, is kind of begging for community support.

so I reconsidering my earlier made decision of not to help you (blablabla), and will provide you with a lowercase 's' for your font.

I've made a selection of 10 different designs from which you can choose only one, so make it count.. 🤗


Spoiler:
The most 'authentically' designed, or overall 'best' looking letterform doesn't necessarily means that it will automatically also translate to being technically supperior or a more educative novelty.
I'm not revealing upfront as to which, but some of these contain pretty unique and custom tailor-made elements or solutions. So, it wouldn't be a waste to first thoroughly analyze the geometric properties for each of them a little more carefuly.
And, in the process you are also testing your intuitive (inner-) designer's Mana, and ability to interpolate the invisible information revealed by the glyph contour outlines roughly into somewhat of a prognosis or expectation, that in turn translate to a certain basic predictment or maybe even understanding of the potential underlying brick structure.

Or you can of course just tell me to go take a hike and that you don't want none of it.. its all fine with me. I would totally understand it, concidering how I went about concerning you lately. Let's just say that this is my token of repentance to you.

Cheers

But one thing that strikes me as being kind of odd is:
The solutions for all of "ITC Swiss Int'l" 's troubled glyphs, such as: B, S, s, 3 and 8, are already present, right here inside this very font.
―Guess which single glyph in here could provide all the required 'proportional' letter elements to fix this entire font..
Also your "SUMMER701haus" font contains all the necessary ingredients (and more) to fix this "ITC Swiss Int'l" font, and ever further improve its quality.

This 'sort-of' discloses that there is a certain disconnect and unfamiliarity in regard to 'apparently' some of your earlier material. Telling me that something is a little off here.. As apparently you doesn't seem to be aware of what you have already crafted before, and perhaps could later on re-use. Something that is common practice in design. Speaking from my own experience, I can honestly say that the majority of shapes and forms I have Fontstructed throughout these years, I still loosely carry in my memory. Especially those of specific work, the repetition and knowledge that is extracted from the accumulation over multiple usage of parts and elements.

This in some way was making me wonder as to what extend you have actually truly created it yourself (and don't worry, the observation already provided the answer to that as well). But therefor I showed this unreceptive and unsympathetic lack of support. Which is kind of childish for a guy my age (I know), but yeah, we ain't made out of brick, so we all slip occasionally, at least I do. Especially about things of this particularly sensitive nature, like art and crafts.

And I wouldn't be such a whining little pleb If it wasn't for this one simple thing:
When a fellow member was to clone a font originally crafted/published by another Fontstruct member, the cloned font automatically traces back its origins all the way to the original creator. And besides the little to no protection it offers in general, amongst Fontstructors specifically it does ensure that the original creator also receives appropriate credentials for their contribution in the development chain that is associated with a font.

That whole basic principle now gets thrown out of the window instantly as soon as a font, instead of getting cloned 'traditionally', getting copied down at a "per-glyph" basis into "New Fontstructions". This basically cuts off all ties with the original, as well as its creator.

Simply saying something like: "Inspired by s!xxn^efa aTa/QR by oemoemenoe" doesn't nearly covers for that full bill imo. And is a far cry from what "Inspired by" represents. More appropriate in such situation would be to mention the actual process of how the particular Fontstruction was compiled or came to be.

What perhaps is bothering me the most out all of this, isn't even at the 'cloner' end of what goes wrong here. And not even the exploit itself, but rather its the opposite. The biggest problem for me personally is that most of these individuals are such nice and generous people that often genuinely doesn't mind it for real.. (not even blatant "a+c+v" extravaganza axionz)
Its sad that they have to go the same bullshit route those creators have to go, to even ever get 'some' acknowledgement, from mostly this sparse bunch of lost internet archetypes, whom count for 99.9% of those that are likely ever going to lay eyes on this "avant-garde-'font'-punk rock counter-culture" of typograpy, that is: ―"Fontstruct".
If it wasn't for us independents, if it wasn't for the small dinky little lost nobodies, and the few ghetto fly-guys trying to make arts.. It would have never been!
Some of those will never ask a dime. Some of which will be poor and die unknown. But in the process, they've been the true renegades. True rebels always walk alone anyway.

Just keep the above in mind whenever you'll find yourself being "Inspired by.." ever again! 🙇

Now 22 forms you can choose one from!

Comment by Sed4tives Sat, 20th april

i'ma stick with these designs that is accurate to the symbols font.

Comment by SUMMER701 Sat, 20th april

 Sed4tives: for my geometric grotesque sans-serif typeface, i would go with the first s itself.

Comment by SUMMER701 Mon, 22nd april

Yeah well, who knows, maybe once upon a(nother) time, since I didn't say I was going to help you 'all' of your fonts.. 🤪
