My second attempt at designing my own font, again at the start 0f 2008. I wanted something more 'traditional' this time around, but still with an individual flourish.

I also wanted to create both upper & lower case letter forms (instead of just all caps), digits, and standard punctuation marks - in other words a whole latin character set.

The letter forms were first created in Illustrator, then exported individually as EPS, brought into Fontforge (a wonderful, open-source, free application to rival Fontographer), and the glyphs cleaned up.

The font was then generated in TTF format and installed on Windows for testing. It's still not completely finished - there are a few remaining digits and punctuation marks left to work on before it's ready for release, but once there it will be made available free for non-commercial use on the web, like my other font.
