First Typeface - Need Feedback.

Satya Rajpurohit0 votes

hello folks,

This is my first attempt to the type design. It's still incomplete but I have taken a snapshot from the Illustrator just to show the idea. I need your feedback to improve on the design. Am facing problems designing few letters and thus your comments would be really helpful for me. Though at the moment am not satisfied with any of these letters.

The Idea was to combine both small and the capitals in one and thats why i've named it "Capsmall".

Thanks in advance.

First ask yourself, would each letter be legible if it was taken out of order? Put some of the glyphs together to form words because they never act alone, always as a cohesive group.

Satya, I think the letters are very fantasyful and decorating. Nice idea with combining caps and capitals.

It's a little more difficult to find a area of use for it, however, due to its decorative shapes. It feels they are more like a graphic design element than a typeface, if you know what I mean, but that is of course OK. I kind of like them. Keep going working on it.

Btw, Say Hello to India from me, I visited your country a couple of years ago and stayed for a couple of months – and really loved it.

Satya -

There's something really appealing about it, very graphic. I think you should persevere.

Personally, I like the forms which 'flow' into each other, such as 'b/B', 'p/P' and even 'u/U', rather than the ones which feel like one letterform is superimposed over another, like 'r/R' or 't/T', but that's just me.

Thanks for the feedback and critique..will post right it here when i'll done with this.

:)

I cant see the image!

Satya, make sure you images are RGB so everyone can see them.

Yeah I'll definitely keep it in mind for the next time.
...thanks a lot for converting it into RGB and uploading it again

I like the way you play with letterforms. It might not be very useful in a way typefaces can be, but it looks great. Keep up the work, I wanna see more of this..

Beautiful forms Satya. How did you envision your font being used?

I just love your work!

thanks tom!!!

wow. What a novel idea. Yeah, application is a question, but i have no doubts there will be application for it.

I am not sure all your solutions work, but some are marvels. I love the T/t and the S/s. dont think the R/r works at all, though.

btw, I was unable to view the offsite file. Thanks Miss Tiffany.

geo.

A new thought about this design: Should the N and the X be left open?

Your're welcome, Geo.

miss tiffany..these were incomplete...now they are closed btw.
I'll post the final typeface very soooon.

What a great idea! I like it!
I like first A, B, G, H, P, last Y, N and O. W, X and fist N seem like a bit different style as they have more crossing lines.

So, what has become of this face, satya?
They are nicely done. I'm interested in how the final product looks.

Thanks Jelmar,
I'll soon post them right here.
