TG font collaboration #2 Roundhead

[Gare]

I think it would get us closer to our goal if you took a look at one or both of the specimens and tried to figure out what some of the missing characters should look like, Larry.

Or else that's work I'd have to do by myself, and I'm not even a Moderator on this forum!

Tell you what: perhaps I should take the Burgeon typefaces through to the completion, and then let the real Moderators on this forum initiate a second typeface. What do you say to that? I'm open and I love working with type, but I also have the Xone to tend to, you know?

These are the missing letters as far as I can see - but I am a bit confused by the fact that there appears to be 2 different typoes of capital E.

I am happy to do any of them.

OK Gare, I'll work on the examples you posted and design the missing characters. Will you or Bill then turn them into a font?

[Gare]

I'd say the two of you—Larry, Christine—decide who is going to do which so there's no waste of effort.

@Larry: The goal, yes, would to be to make a typeface from all the characters.

@ Christine, I'd do both characters. We (Bill and I) could assign a slot for an alternative character.

Here's a Xara file with all the characters the book made available. Now, for example, we're missing a "z". Play the archeologist, and see if the "s" provides clues as to what the "z" should look like, and so on.

Outa time today! Be back tomorrow!
