Chennai is a simplified sans serif that was first available in 2007. It also includes a number of more traditional alternate forms. I enjoying coming back to older work and making modifications and adding additional weights, and am planning a rounded slab serif based on this design. I've attached a preview image below including the thin, regular and black weights. I welcome constructive comments. Thanks!
Oh! Cute!
Difficult to get the whole idea from this image. Would you post a pdf with character sets?
Thank you for taking a look. A 4 pg .pdf sample with some revisions is available here:.pdf
Thanks for passing on that link to spore. Interesting!

Made a few minor updates to Chennai. There are three main styles. The swash alternates add more of the curved stems/tails (line 1 and 7). The stylistic alternates convert the lowercase simple forms to more traditional, Futura like forms and the caps are the traditional forms for X W Y and A, etc, and B, D, P, etc. are not longer rounded (scattered through the preview). The titling alternates get rid of the "tails." (line 2)
Please take a look and give me some feedback. How is the 'e' looking?
I've also attached a preview of Chennai Slab. The lowercase ball terminals on the s are a problem. I am thinking that for the black weight, I will drop the ball terminals.
Looking forward to your comments! They are always useful.
Thanks,
JDooley
Both Chennai and Chennai Slab are now available.
