    Fred: How about this could you redo the glyphs you think need redoing? As for the name of the font I believe the name is from Gary's book and it sounds fine to me

    The font's name "Roundhead", I'm guessing refers to the rounded tops of the characters.

    It was the name as the legend at the bottom of the Linotype 1904 Specimen book.

    Fred, I think that as a member of tg with a keen artistic eye, you should treat Frances' comment as an open invitation (not a challenge) to make the group collaboration as professional as it can be.

    Mike and others have come on board and we enjoy the back and fourths and to have a goal larger than just chatting on this thread.

    Not that any of us mind just chatting,
    Gary

    Hi Francis & Gary,

    I mentioned the name of the font because it seems it was interpreted as having 'rounded' corners.
    May I offer my version; here are the capitals and I'll work on the others.

    Here is the punctuation plus a couple. I hope this is OK, if not let me know.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Again Thankyou to Fred and Larry for their assistance.

    I had interpreted the font as having rounded corners but bow to the wisdom of those who understand fonts more than I.

    This is starting to look good!!

    Ok we still need a regular ampersand and @ A dollar sign, pound sterling sign, and euro sign, an interobang, and how about a bullet? Michelle are you still wishing to volunteer? Have a look at the ampersand that Bill (soquili) suggested a few posts back, and have a look at the letters and punctuation we have so far for ideas.

    Ok, everyone working on round font 2, I have been busy making these extra fonts.
    Please take a look and decide if you like or whether to toss them out.

    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?
