TG font collaboration #2 Roundhead

[wizard509]

I will volunteer to help Christine with this font. We should do some punctuation as well such and perhaps copyright and trademark symbols?

Christine, how can I help?

[Christine Farrelly]

Sorry for any delay - time differences again - fortunately I am an early morning person 5 AM here.

Larry - I am happy if you want to do the other font.

Frances - I have already done some preliminary work on the Caps, Lower case and numbers and would be more than happy if you want to tackle the symbols.

Thanks Gare for your confidence.

Ok I'll look at doing some of the symbols and punctuation maybe Larry and I can split them up? I'd like to do ! @ # & I'll do the copyright and Registered symbols as well and I'm going to do two extra glyphs perhaps Larry can you do the rest of the basic punctuation such as , : ; ' " ? and perhaps parentheses?

I am also wondering if we should add a British Pound, and euro symbol? opinions?

[Christine Farrelly]

I got carried away with this - heres what I've done so far. Comments - suggestions etc all welcome.

3 layers Caps, lower case and numbers.

You have a terrific start, but again, creating a font is m ore than matching a design, original or traced.

You have to place control points where they are necessary, and don't put excess ones along a path.

Your lowercase "z"...



But it is an outstanding set, Christine, and it's going to make a knockout typeface!

My Best,

Gary

Ok here are some symbols and an exclamation mark. I'm back to the Bergeon for a bit but I'm willing to do a few more punctuation marks or symbols if need be and here is a thought how about a customized bullet for this font?

We are an international group, so I think that euro, yen, pound sterling signs would be a nice addition. Cents, percents, french quote marks, asterisks, hash marks, degrees would be nice too if they are not already there. A true ampersand & and at @ would be nice.

It might be a hoot to do a .com like the and sign you did.

What you all think? We've got the registers don't we?

[Fred C]

I have the numbers and lowercase basically ready; I need to go through and optimize/minimize the nodes and then I'll post the .xar file. Here's how they look. Comments?

[angelize]

Fred: from what I see so far looks good.

Michelle: I'll download your file and have a look at how your glyphs look with the rest of the font and get back to you soon, but at a quick glance I see some good stuff there!

thank you both for your contributions!

[wizard509]

Looks good to me Fred.
