I have already seen it, so I am also very interested in the following comments / critique.

Hello?

This is nice. I don't follow the wood type trend, but this did remind me of Garage Gothic from Font Bureau. Your font, obviously, has much more character in so far as the style goes. Some of the figures seem to have less character than the alphabet itself does. I'm looking at the lc_f wondering if more of that couldn't be put into the figures. Fewer points, rounder corners.

It would be nice to see a picture of the original woodtype

Tiffany:
Thanks. Especially the rounder corners sounds as good advice, I see what you mean. I will try that out when I have some time to work on it again.

Steven Wulf:
Yes, here is a picture. It's a scan of the lowercase only. I've placed together the figures with photoshop, since the print itself is too large to scan in one piece, obviously. I don't have the uppercase composed in one file at the moment.

I only just now realise I probably should have posted this in the Display forum? :)

I like this a lot.

Thanks. I still have to finish it, maybe add some more glyphs. :)

Hello

I like it, its comming relly well

I just have one critique, the "a" doesn't seem to fit with the other letters, the curve is radically diferent from the rest. And the horizontal part of the "a" seems to overpass the curve. You could try making the "a" more like an upsidedown "e"

PS: sorry for my bad english
i dont know if i expressed well hehe (I speak spanish)

If you haven’t had the chance to see it, Jelmar posted a complete specimen of Origo on his website and it looks stunning, both the typeface and the graphic design of the specimen. Good job!

Fernando: your English is good enough. It's not my native tongue either.
Anyway, to reply to your comment; I agree, the 'a' is quite different, although that curve is also in the 'g' and in a couple of other characters. I thought about changing it when I was digitizing it, but I decided I wanted to stay true to the woodtype I had printed. But maybe I might give it a try, and add it as an alternate.

Antonio: Thanks for the compliment. Photos of the printed version of that specimen (which is 29x29 cm by the way) are on my site as well. But since I have a flash-site, I can't specify a direct link (which is why I sort of hate flash sites, eventhough I made it myself). But it's in the 'Print' section, on the top. I say this because in the PDF you can't see the embossed and spot-varnished parts of the physical specimen. Which were the most fun to make, with photopolymer plates and such. :)
