Continuing. Teacher didn’t say much. I should try more combinations of round and edgy, look at the old classic Blackletter Fonts. And create more individual letters instead of ’series’.
over all I think it is a really progress compared to the last post. I’ll try and keep it short this time…
For a typical blackletter font I think the rounded version isn’t working – nonetheless it is interesting and works really well. The ‘a’ works better in the bottom version (outline).
My favorite is the bottom one of the top right picture. The ‘a’ reads as an ‘o’ from far away, close up, no problem. I would probably try and have the top of the ascenders sloping the other way, like in the version on top. I like that this version has no serifs.
