Design Discussion

Postby The Texas Dude » Sat Feb 09, 2008 11:46 pm

Verry long, subtle and nuanced discussion of a design called "cut and then curved" --

1. I don't always understand the styles they analyze.
2. This discussion goes on and on with a lot of good references to follow up on.
3. There are more fonts out there than you'd ever believe that are not in general circulation ... (and no way to get free copies of them I bet!)
4. Conclusions: Font designers start and stop projects all the time. Some good things never make it beyond the drawing board.

I bring it up only to show font designers are always looking for new ways to shape the 26 letters. At this time they are seeing very small differences as meaningful and worth pursuing.
