Twos that look like nines have long bothered me, so I must object to the closing up of even more numerals.

I like this.

The W, R, Y, A, V, N, and M (mostly letters with strong diagonals, although the X and Z are perfect) don’t quite look like they fit with the rest. Too close to an ordinary sans-serif and too far from the Bauhaus-ish feel of the other letters. Work on them.

I think you should have more thin-line breaks, on the R, P, A, D, B, N, M, W, Y & y.

It would be helpful to see a real text setting.

Changed up the showings, look at em.

Really nice. Love the ampersand.

70% London underground / 30% Avantgarde...
especially for the lower, i get the feeling there is three font design elements smacked into one.

What size do you envision this working in? Those tiny wedges and breaks will get lost unless it’s quite big, I would think. They seem too fine for the proportions of the letters to me. Have you tried them (the white wedges) larger?

In the caps, C and G (and maybe Q) are trying too hard to be round. They’re going to jump out too much from what is otherwise a well executed, pretty normal gothic. I like many of them, particularly B, R, M, and X. I’d like to see how they look mixed with the lowercase.

I’d encourage you to add to, rather than replace, the specimens you post in the thread; it’s rewarding to see the progression of designs.

Been working on it more. Think its 98% there...

This is looking awesome. The swashes are great. Though a few stand out to me that could do with some work, such as: the lowercase end-word swashes like the “s” and “e”. They seem a bit formulaic and tacked on. Love the “O”, “Q”, “S” and “g”.

Great work! Can’t wait to see (and purchase) the final product!

I love the capital ’O’ & smallcase ’g’!
I think I can spot a couple of typefaces that inspired you to do this, but you’ve managed to make an excellent personal mix!

any updates on your progress with this?

This is where I left it off. I think its has gotten all the TLC that I can afford. I did a lot of little minor tweaks to it, think they will show off when used larger. I think we will be releasing it within a month or so. I just retyped what I did before so you can see the differences. Thanks Penn!

The Swaches look great! Love the lc g!!!
Nice one Mike!
