Hello,
This is my first post here, and this is my first typeface.
The face is conceptually based off the town planning grid of a town in New Zealand called Levin.
Here it is. I have quite a bit of work to do on the kerning.
This is the lighter weight version of the face.
Any feedback is welcome. I realise that the characters are a little odd, but that conceptually was what I was going for.
I like this in general. Much of the lc seems too wide, while the uc is too narrow, relative to each other. But that might just be my opinion.
I see among your punctuation you have a "$" and a 2-story "a" which I guess could be an alternate or an "@". If it is the latter, it isn't recognizable as such, nor is the "$". While the vertical bar doesn't need to be continuous or even necessarily penetrate the outer contours, it still needs a little more of it. As it is, the "$" looks like an "S" with some obscure accent of some kind.
I like it
But maybe you have to work in the spacing of the characters, I really think that the words are too tight. The shapes must equilibrate the inner spaces with the spaces between gylphs. The kerning stuff leave it for later. Good Luck!
Nice. I think the crossbar of f and t are a bit too short.
