A New Font

[Ron Duke]

I like the curve you've added to the horizontal bar, Ron. The width, not sure, maybe a bit too narrow now.

Yes, I see that now. Thanks Graham!

The N looks a little wide compared to M and O. Not sure about the M itself, maybe you could try to widen it?

[mwenz]

The strokes are uneven thickness from character to character. Agree on the widths. There isn't a cohesive plan for the widths of the characters.

Thanks Mike and Big Frank.
Working on it...

[Ron Duke]

Well, I went through all the letters to make sure they were of the same thickness and spaced the same. Hope this is improved...

Not a great font, by any means, but one I use for my artwork's description. I think it looks good, as such...

Hi Ron, it's been some time since I was here at TG.
I have been a sign writer all my life, starting long before the days of computers when we had to learn how to draw our lettering before we could paint it (a skill I sill have to this day). Quite a number of years ago I worked at a sign writers in Morecombe Lancashire and they always did their capital "K" with a bent leg rather like the leg of an "R" in Helvetica. I was a purist and found this most annoying, however looking at the font that you are creating I feel that your capital letter K may benefit from being flipped over vertically. I was going to mention the letter "B" but ss-kalm beat me to it.
All in all it's looking good to me...

Thanks Tabian! What a great suggestion! I really appreciate that!

Don't know for sure Ron but maybe thr bottom leg of the K could be more like the R which mitht5 make it appear5 a but wuder, also the W seems a bit narrow.

[Ron Duke]

Thanks Larry. I'll re-check those.
