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?

[Soquili]

I think that is an excellent idea Barbara.

My suggestion for an ampersand for the Roundhead font.

[angelize]

I like the idea of the .com sign, I'll do that after I finish the last two Bergeon tiles. The ampersand that you did Bill looks great, are you volunteering? There is a comma in one of Gary's samples but the rest of the punctuation we will have to create ourselves.

What's left so far then is everything that Barbara mentioned plus dollar sign comma colon semi colon question mark apostrophe, quotation

Any volunteers for any of this? Larry mentioned that he was willing to help. Anyone else?

[angelize]

Ok here is that .com sign Now we need the rest of the punctuation!

Hi Angelize your dot com looks great! Everyone is doing a fabulous job too. I am willing to do the things Barbara asked for provided I'm not treading on anyone's toes! unless you have another idea of whats needed as you are further along now...

[Gare]

think I might say with a degree of safety that Barbara is trying to encourage participation while at the same time mindful that she is not a Moderator on the typography forum, and neither am I.

Frances, you can Christine should micro-manage this Roundhead typeface, right? Let Michele know what you think you need, and that's that.

Carry on!

Frances, you can Christine should micro-manage this Roundhead typeface, right?

Ok I am sure this a typo but I'm not sure if you meant " you and Christine..." or "you understand Christine..." either way I am fine and do understand.

I am just a little over enthusiastic sometimes
