I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I could be accused of having curiosity a mile wide and an inch deep (something Americans are accused of). I'd be good at gameshows -- I have a smattering of knowlege in a lot of subjects. I used to be able to identify zillions of fonts at a glance but passing fashions and Father Time are fighting over which gets to defeat me first.

my first attempt, so it isn't a real font at all. in a previous life, perhaps I was a governess. I can't imagine what you'd use it for, but you never know...

A Bodoni that won't take its meds. I hope to be able to fix the horrendous leading problem. You were warned.

Silly me, of course I'm not going to be able to preview the typographer's quotes because my qwertyset isn't primed to receive them. They should work in a program (i.e. InDesign) that's geared up for them.

work in progress. I'm hopeful I can turn this into a viable typeface: it is legible even at 8pt. Maybe when more bricks become available in FontStruct I can refine it.

This is how "solidad" started out but I kind of like this version too. It's less formalised. Not finished. Can't decide if the variations are exceptions or abberations. I'll have to view a whole bunch of it together.

a silly sixties-style font. I've got a different notion for the l/c characters which I've yet to get to.

You've got to have intestinal fortitude to finish some of these wretched fonts. I'm going to file all the non-qwerty keys off my keyboard...

I can see I'm on a hiding to nothing with that damned cap "S". The lower case s is -- sort of-- acceptable, but it will be a miracle if I can avoid an ugly transition between angles in the x-bar.
So near and yet so far. All the cap single bowled letters could do with a more curvaceous aspect. If I manage to beat the "S" into shape I might have to take on the challenge.
Talk about a sucker for punishment.This is a clone
