Welcome, Marc. Don’t worry; your English is more than good enough (certainly better than my Spanish). Definitely post “Azoumbie” as soon as you feel ready for some feedback — I’m always eager to see new typefaces.

Yes, welcome.

yes, welcome ! you’re in for a treat.

i’m new too and i’m very impressed by this community, whether discussing design details or arguing politics. the forums are varied, the conversation is lively, and the expertise is generous and priceless.

i’m not exactly a typophile, mostly a motion-graphics art director, but i’ve found this site to be a fascinating resource made up of very special people.

cheers to everyone !

Welcome! I’m happy to see another Montrealer.

Enjoy!

K.

Welcome! Glad you could join us :-)

Hi, Marc! Benvenu to Typophile. :-)

Welcome Marc & congratulations on the name for your font! Judging by its name it promises to be a cool font. I hope to see it in the critique forum someday soon.

Hi everyone and thanks for the welcoming !

Auricfuzz,
You will see it today or tomorrow

Eben,
Thanks

CH,
I dont know about the defenition of typophile here, but for me typophile it’s not someone who made a fonts but someone who love typographie. About me, I do not consider my self like a typograph (someone who make font, because I am a newbie) but I am a typophile for sure

Kritina,
HI, yes it’s very cool to see another person of Montréal, do you speak french a little bit ? I saw a threat who you were talking about a bilingual job you done (not sure, I did not understand all) I would loved to see it but you edited the links.

Ricardo,
Gracias Sénior ;)

Ill sans,
Let’s me explain about the name. Fist I have a lot of wood statue came from Afrika in my house, they all play a role to protect the house (I know, I’am weird ! -LOL-_). Each statue haved a name, like my cie name is Kabouka came from a statue, about Azoumbie her real name is Zoumbie but a put a A in front because I dont want my font figure at they end whit the Z.

Ok, who are Zoumbie ? Zoumbie is a female warrior whit a lot of caracter, and I desined my font like that, a lot or caractere whit a touch of feminite. I dont know if I succeed that but I hope people are going to tell me about.

About me, once again I dont consider my self like a typograph, I am realy a newbie and I am a little bit shame about to show you my font, but I will today on black letter uncial (I dont know what mean uncial I look on the dictionnary but didnt find it.

Have a good one
Marc

Marc, don’t be ashamed to post your font in the Critique forum. We’ve all been in the same situation at some time. Everyone has to start somewhere.

As for uncial, check out the Wikipedia entry, or Typophile’s very own TypoWiki entry.

Looking forward to seeing your typeface, Monsieur. :-)

Bonjour Marc: j’habite a Calgary maintenant, mais j’aime Montreal. Chez nous, c’est les Canadiens en RDS. ;-) Bienvenue!

That doggone Linda is sweet-talkin’ again :-)

ChrisL

You’re just jealous. ;-) Apart from my adventures in French immersion weekends, I don’t get much chance to speak French other than yell obscenities at the refs during the French hockey games.

Marc,

Welcome. Since francophone culture makes a distinction between un audiophile and un mélomane, and you claim you are not a typophile, perhaps you can call yourself a typomane!

Hi Ricardo,
If you want to see it, I put it on the treath : Critique / Blackletter & Uncial / Azoumbie -Voila- ;)

Bonjour Linda,
Tu dit que tu habites Calcary maintenant, tu habitais ou avant ? Montréal ? Je rencontre régulièrement des gens qui habitaient l’ouest du pays (Vancouver etc.) et au début ils étaient tous éffrayée de venir habiter Montréal, finalement toutes les personnes que j’ai rencontré adorent MTL. J’ai une question pour toi, quand ChrisL dit : That doggone linda, est ce que c’est une insulte a mon endroit ? Donc si tu veux pratiquer ton Français, ça ne me dérange pas en autant que les autres sur le forum sont d’accord. J’aimerais bien que tu aille voir ma police et que tu me dise se que tu en pense, mais s.v.p. pas de fausse politesse, si tu n’aime pas ce n’est pas grave. A +

Hey Bruce,
I would like to ajust my self whit this forum, what mean Typophile ? For me is someone who loved typographie it’s that ? How do you call a guy or girl who designed typeface ? I said I’am not a typeface designer, because in my head you have to be good for wearing this title.

You’re right Linda, I am jealous:-) Oh, and give those hockey refs hell for me too!

ChrisL

Bonjour Marc

Malheureusement, je reste a Calgary avec mon travail et mon mari (il ne parle pas beaucoup de joual): nous voudrons aller la (et aussi a Ottawa) pour notre vacances l’année prochaine.

Quand Chris a dit quelque choses comme ça, c’est une plaisanterie seulement — il est un peu fou, mais dans un bon sens, tu croix? ;-)

A la prochaine….

Marc,
Don’t worry, Linda and I always play jokes with eachother here on Typophile. Don’t take anything I say seriously. I can’t resist a joke.

ChrisL

Thanks ChrisL,

Sometime I have problem to understand a tread, now, imagine a joke ! OUFF !!!!

My jokes are pretty bad to so don’t worry :-)

ChrisL

Pas de problem, Marc.

Chris aime (c’est une obsession, je pense!) de faire les jeux des mots: c’est difficile de comprendre en anglais aussi de temps en temps! ;-)

Salut, Marc.

Oui, je parle français. Je suis anglophone du “West Island” mais je me suis trouvée, à une jeune age, avec un chum québecois. Disons que j’ai eu l’occasion de pratiquer mon français. Je ne dirais pas que mon français est parfait, mais certainement passable. Mes enfants sont plus bilingues que moi, et me corrigent souvent.

Je dois, de plus en plus, créer des publications en versions soit bilingue, soit français et anglais séparées. J’ai retiré le PDF par ce que le livre liste les noms des finissants et j’étais mal-à-l’aise de le laisser là une fois la discussion terminée. Si jamais ça t’interesse, je pourrais t’envoyer un exemplaire. Contacte-moi par email.

Hope it isn’t too bothersome that we prattle on in French. We aren’t communicating state secrets, I promise. ;)

K.

Bienvenu Marc
Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir? Je rigole bien sur…

Benvenuto a bordo!

We aren’t communicating state secrets, I promise. ;)

Kristina told me how to do a millons dollars in one day, and its work !

Benvenuto a bordo!

Grazie lore !

Si jamais ça t’interesse, je pourrais t’envoyer un exemplaire. Contacte-moi par email.
