Very nice!

The only thing that immediately bothers me is the shear of the tail of the Q, which looks a bit like it's been artificially compressed.

There’s a lot of really great stuff going on here, but I would like to see a specimen with some words set. The lowercase alphabet seems more grounded than the uppercase, which almost seems to be leaning and wobbling, although I think some of that is due to the letterspacing.

To nitpick: G looks like it’s tipping to the left, and I’m confused by the terminals of U angling to the reverse of everything else. The same goes for the terminal of the upper horizontal in E and F slanting differently.

I think you need to visit some of the stroke connections, especially in the upper case, in spots where there is a lot of mass concentrated: M, N, K, R. W, lowercase k. You may need to taper some strokes as these junctions, or have them connect differently.

Echoing James' comment, the upper case isn't as consistent as the lower. The A and the M especially don't match the rest.

I would like to see some sample text set in your font.

thanks for your thoughts. Now that i look at it the G does seem to lean, I am going to try extending the terminal slightly. I knew that I had some dark spots going on in some of the connections, I will be refining those shortly. As for the A and M, I am not sure in what way they stand out. Do you mean because they lack the slant?

I have set a short block of type at 24pt., these are the same characters as in the original set. I welcome any additional comments.

Any suggestions on how to approach kerning pairs for the entire font?

Thanks

for some reason i wasn't able to attach the file.
I'll try tomorrow.

I would suggest to reduce the counter of the a and the e to more suit the design of the A, E, R.

Nice work!

Regarding the A and M: although your A has a lower-than-normal bar which matches the font, it doesn't have the quirks that make the other letters interesting. Perhaps the top should be narrower and angled. Likewise, the M looks too "normal" when there is opportunity here to give it more personality, such as angles at the top of the stems. The V as well could use that treatment, as most of the other letters where that can be done have it.

Personally, I like the G; if you extend the upper terminal, perhaps still keep it a bit to the left of what would be "normal".

On the lowercase e, you might move the lower terminal a bit to the left; currently it looks like you're not sure if it should align with the top. Make it definitely align, or obviously not. I think the latter would suit the font.

does anyone have any suggestion as to why i might be having provblems attaching files. When I click on insert image i get a finder window that says choose file to upload, however none of my files are clickable, including the PDF i previosly posted.
I have no idea.

I had that problem at one point but I don't recall what I did to fix it. What browser are you using? You could try a different one. Also, on Safari I know that the message frame can be expanded/compressed that might do something. I am not !00% sure about this but I think you can only add gifs & jpegs and maybe png files as inline images in a post. You should be able to add a PDF to your initial post. Did this help?

I resaved my original file with the type specimen included in a single PDF. I couldn't attach any additional files, but when I removed the original it would let me reattach it.

Gary, I will be adressing the issues you mentioned, as well as the other problems shortly. I am also going to try to adjust the crossbars throughout the upper case so that they are optically more consistent. I should have changes up by the weekend.

Thanks
Andy
