I find that the thickest set of writing, for example ’milk’ is difficult to read.

Otherwise, the other two I adore.

oooh it;s beautiful! are you

Something about klimax

Something about klimax reminds me of Gloriola, or maybe the other way around since I came across it for the first time last week. It’s not quite as extreme on the heavy side, but the lighter weight characters seemed to have a lot in common.

Great work! I really can’t

Great work! I really can’t decide which I like more, the Heavy or the Light, I love them both :) The Heavy reminds me of Fat Ed by Underware (it’s a compliment), love the Small Caps, the g, a, s, diacritics, italics. And the Light is not less awesome. Like I said, love them both.

pretty

well... acutally i am thinking about offering it to some typefoundry or someone. i haven’t done that before, but i feel that klimax can be the one to start with. but first i think i’ll wait for peter bilak, who’s gonna write me an opponency, i’ll see how’s that going to be like and then i’ll decide. i guess...

Well, you could create a

Well, you could create a little buzz for it.

Perhaps just giving it away isn’t exactly what you were thinking (though I’m not opposing if you want too), but what if you made it a cool give-away prize in a type oriented game or drawing.

Kinda like I Love Typography’s crossword/drawing for a complete set of Haptic.

Maybe Punchcut/Typophile could host a little contest/drawing right here and give away a few sets of Klimax.

Of course, it’s just a suggestion.

Ondrej, you’re planning to offer us all a free pre-release copy of Klimax right? ~wink~

Absolutely great! I like

Absolutely great!
I like both the heavy and the light, plus the italics. I would still like a more regular version of the heavy, but nevertheless; great work. :)

thanks. i am pretty proud of

thanks. i am pretty proud of the lowercase k too... unfortunatelly, i had to break the rule of same width of minus and plus style. i had to add some kern pairs with k in the minus version, because the fat style is filled on the right side, while the minus style k is just regularly open... but i think it doesn’t spoil the concept that much.

That’s quite a body of

That’s quite a body of work, and a very fitting name for a diploma project. I <3 the Plus Italic lowercase k.

Klimax Update with Italic

ugla — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 09:54:46 -0700

hello. this is klimax. it is part of my diploma project with two other display fonts (Monoxil Outliner & Kakao).
the idea was to draw two opposite climaxes - the heaviest and the lightest, but both sharing the identical metrics and kerning.
i would really appreciate some feedback and critique.

thank you. ondrej
