Hey, this is my first font design, constructive criticism welcome! Thanks.
- whiterook6 1y agoIt's very nice, but why? The lack of descenders makes it slightly harder to read. More of the letters look the same.
- kiba 1y agoIt's perfect for my use case, which is making individual square letters to print. PITA to ensure that the square are uniform when the letters are not uniform in size.
- JSR_FDED 1y agoLove how legible this is. Exactly how my brain (trained on 8-bit micros) expects a font to look!
- nullchan 1y agoDid you ask Claude to make your design futuristic? I sometimes get the same layout haha.
- ginko 1y agoThe vertical lines look a bit thin on my ~110PPI screen. Especially the down line in lowercase 'p'.
- egorfine 1y agoLowercase f, l and t are crimes against humanity.
- p0w3n3d 1y agoGreat job! I've tried many times to design a font and failed. That said, here's some: I'd love to see multiple weights. Not just bold, the new fonts can have multiple weights. Italic could help also but with the letters staying in the box. Also, the letters are too much to the left to my liking. Large amount of space between letters makes it even more visible.
- sph 1y agoPlease add a github release with the assets (ttf, otf, etc.). I'm developing an open-source font repository+downloader and it will make it easier to write an install script for it.
- jen729w 1y agoAmazing effort for a first font. I probably won't use it, but who cares! It's cool. Do more fonts. Do more things. I thank you.
- tomashubelbauer 1y agoI really like the look of the font, great job!
- tobr 1y agoYou’ve picked a difficult way to make your first typeface. A monoline design with a strict vector grid doesn’t leave a lot of room for the kind of optical adjustments needed for balanced and readable letter shapes. But I think even if you want to be strict about those restrictions there is a lot of room for improvement in consistency and composition of each shape. I started to write actionable suggestions about individual letters but realized it’s probably better to drop this link, which starts at how to draw an ”A” and continues with every letter of the alphabet. https://ohnotype.co/blog/ohno-type-school-a https://ohnotype.co/blog/ohno-type-school-a
- Terretta 1y agoI find it legible except for y becoming u
- rvschuilenburg 1y agoAesthetically, great. But i can't help but find it harder to read this font. Probably cool for things such as a poster or album art, but not something i'd enjoy using in my code editor.
- networked 1y agoCool concept. I like the lowercase q a lot. The misaligned dot (tittle) on the lowercase i and j bugs me. It feels off to have it at different heights. I'd try making the i taller to match the j.
- billev2k 1y agoI'd prefer a greater difference between ( ) and { }, and between : and ; But that's for using it as my daily driver, which doesn't seem to be the actual motivation.
- specialist 1y agoI hate myself for loving Retrocide so much. Well done.
- camtarn 1y agoNo descenders - fine. But I find the lowercase L, and to a lesser extent the lowercase F, very unpleasant looking. Something to do with the overly intrusive and segmented curve.
