Interesting. Using the idea of gestalt to complete the form. The smaller you preview it the more complete the shapes become. Keep going.

Hi!!

I've worked more on the g as suggested by Rafael Neder, a brazilian colleague on other forum.

Here is a PDF to help you take a closer look...

Miss Tiffany, thks, this gestald effect is indeed interesting: as the smaller we preview, more complete the shapes will be. On this PDF I have previewed various sizes to check this out easily. Thks for your comment again.

"see" ya guys

For now, there is only one glyph who disturbing me. The g looks too me a double storey, did you try the one storey one? Other suggestion for the g is may be reduce the size of the bowl that seems to be to close of the o. Also the angle of the lower «storey» give an oblique aspect to the g.

Good work,keep going.

Thanks Sim, I will try the single storey g. It may fit well on this font.

See, I've heard (and proved this in practice) that typedesign is 10% inspirarion (designing the concept) and 90% transpiration (the hard work on extending the concept over the entire font). Keeping this is mind, before I start designing the rest of the characters, I've made another version of n o a h, with shapes more fluid, really display like. You can compare this new version with the old one on this pdf ( www.focodesign.art.br/bytype/After_03_04.pdf )

Looking at a distance now, version 3 lowercases seem too rounded and "correct", like a text font lower characters. They don't seem to match the wildness of the cap A.
Version 4 have some straight angles and fits better with the cap A (my reference for inspiration).

I'm stuck on this doubt...

What do you think? I would reaaally appreciate everyones opinion...

thks

Maybe those lowercases can become a text version of this display typeface?

Sorry, on my PDF, by mistake I have inverted the labels "Version 3" and "Version 4"...

I don't know for other folks but the second pdf (after_03_04) doesn't work to me.

Sim, thanks for asking... maybe that's why I didn't get any feedback by now... : )

Anyway, the PDF openned fine t me. So I'm post a high-res GIF...

Haag, your second attempt works well, but are you able to prepare a pdf file instead of gif file. I'm not sure if the ragged edge is a part of your typeface thats what the gif file give on screen. You could also insert a gif file in your post and add a pdf file in link.

Personnaly I prefere the version 4, the round curve of that forth version has a better look to me. Keep going and keep up in touch of your next develpment.

BTW, is there a something new on the diplay typeface you talking about on your introduction?

Hi Sim!

About that 4th version you appreciated most... don't you think it is too similar as Dax, wich is beeing too used? Those lowercases have the same principles. And, since this my attempt is to project a display face, that needs to "call attention to itself" I guess it needs to differenciate as much as it can. I think the cut angles mixed wth some curve ones gives the characters a more particular feeling and contrast.
But I will for sure keep those characters for further development later.

Here is a new PDF (I hope this one works... please tell if it doesn't) and also a GIF:

"see" ya!

Oh I forgot, Sim, about that old typeface you asked, it is on hold... I actually thinking about using to concept of those uppercases on this new one we're discussing.
