did you really come here to say that someone else's work of creating a production typeface package with multiple styles and weights is "trivial"?

- kazinator 7y agoIt doesn't look like a production typeface to me. Looking at it I feel that I could make something like it, even though I haven't done it before, simply by putting in the required time. (This is not some idle thought; I definitely do not feel that way about any other font I've seen in the last 20 years.) It has nothing but straight lines and rudimentary curve segments and arcs, using a fixed stroke width with rounded ends. There seems to be no attention to kerning, so chances are I wouldn't have to learn anything about that topic to make a font like this. The kind of variation seen here among the multiple styles and weights looks like something that can be cranked out by varying some generic global parameters.
