I need help on R and K

Alexei Vanyashin

Hi,

I am choosing between R and K. Which one is more appropriate to the design?

I like both, to me the first one are the one I would choose as the main letters. However, you could use the second one in an alt glyphs. Personally I would close the bottom of the bowl of the R.

Thanks.
You would close the bowl of R, even though P has an open bowl?

I'd also prefer the first ones - the roundings fit more to the 'free' lines of the /y/ and /a/.

Thanks Artur, good point.

That has precedents; see for example Plantin.

Perfect example. Thank you.
