    Default Manor: A Bouton typeface in the Works

    Let me throw something out, as long as Round Head might be winding down, and I'll have more free time beginning at the end of this week:

    What do people feel about creating an original typeface instead of tracing an existing one in the future? I did pencil sketches of a typeface I designed years ago and never got to finishing it.

    Now, I realize Mike has offered up a really nice existing font that needs some characters and tracing, and I absolutely do not wnat to "butt ahead in line".

    I'm offering an unrealized typeface whose author is still alive and can help guide what I will give up to our group to completion, which is different than what we've been (successfully) doing.

    Thanks Gary.

    I like your design very much. I've always liked BlackLetter fonts and you have a distinctive look going on there.

    Your 'unrealized' typeface (Manor ?) looks good. I dabble with calligraphy and I will be happy to help.
