Another very well done typeface Jas. This is a very nice display font.
Now the nit-picky issues:
The lowercase d’s bowl doesn’t seem right, as if it was pinched and stretched vertically.
Your numerals are awesome, but the 8 seems incongruent, maybe the hairline should reappear before it goes back into the body?
Don’t take me wrong, I really appreciate every suggestions otherwise I won’t be posting on this forum lol so thanks for your opinion!
I’m not planning any other version right now. I just needed a nice headline font and I’ve digitalized two (Neil Bold and this one). I was especially interested to do a super black didone like some Herb Libalin’s fonts that he drew for Eros or Avant Garde magazines.
I’m not really into type design but I think that’s really interesting. For the moment I’m just studying without knowing exactly what I will do afterwards. So I don’t think I’m experimented enough to create italics and lighter weights for this font, but who knows, someday perhaps : )
