REKORD is slowly growing up...

I've done a lot of work on Rekord recently, so I thought I'd share it with you. Since it has developed so much, I thought I'd start a new thread in the sans-serif section. The new Rekord will, if all goes well, be a six-weight family with italics, and be available later this year (after I've finished http://Tram, which is more than overdue).

Also, Rekord is the new typeface used by Rotterdam's Philharmonic Orchestra, which I'm very happy about. More can be seen here: Gergiev Festival

There's still a lot to do and refine, but so far I'm happy with the development... and curious to hear what you think.

Cheers,
Hanno

This is brilliant! I love it. Couls you have a look at my 'expletus' post?

Looking great! I'm weary of techno fonts but this is very lively and interesting, and carefully crafted. The bolder weights have a bit of early Soviet poster aesthetic to my eyes.
On the alternates, I really dislike the M's and N's (but of course, as alternates I'd be free to ignore them).
For the diagonal alts, did you consider making that change in angle a bend rather than a rigid angle?
The figures look like credit-card numbers to me. I wonder if six and nine can somehow partake of the interesting diagonals that are the typeface's signature (e.g. P/R).
