Farola - New decorative PeGGO font...
Hi Typophilian mates!
Well I love try to design some fontface cuz I’m just a begginer on this discipline, in fact, my start is this year and my previuos experience is on Calligrhy.
I come to tell to all of you that this is my first full character set designed and I would like take your opinion and critiques about this work and so you can help me to improve it, please.
“Farola”
The uppercases Farola are very decorative then its lowercases are most regular for keep a little of equilibrium.
This is a Display font is done to be used on big sizes, titles or logos.
here an example:

This is a real delight, Pedro. It gives me a ’60s-’70s latin resort feeling and has a definite hand rendered charm. I adore the caps, but I recommend a simpler set as alternatives. I know it’s meant for larger settings, but it can work for short text too if you improve the spacing, especially to the right of the ’a’ and around the ’i’ and ’o’. This will sacrifice your connections a bit, but it’s worth it.

thank you Stephen..!!!
I appreciate so much this kind words.. specially coming from you..!!!
I get some Capital alternatives drawed but it’s hard ever.. .. some friends also tell me about some spacing pairs.. I believe that need a deep and slow check.. for reach a work more accurate.
than you mate..!!

I’d say this needs to be handpicked. This really is a lot of fun!

Beautiful work.
Your ch and ck ligatures are a little too crowded. Open them up so that the c has as much room as the unligated one we see in “Acholias”.
You may find it wise to create Ni And Mi ligatures.
The decorated tails of R and K force a very large gap in all settings with lowercase. Perhaps they should descend?

Oh Thank you so much for your beautiful gesture, it’s so encourage, believe me. I’m fun so much when I’m design it, although is a hard work.. is too funny work and deserve the better efforts..!! :D
I’m agree with your suggestions about Ligatures, then I tried to make that ’Mi’, ’Ni’ and another so similar ’Hi’:
After every new ligature added I think about one thing:
that mean a new hard work cuz if our design has an irregular Metric (like Farola) mean several check out for every new gliph added (ligatures), and by the way so several aditional kerning pairs are need be checked too, is necessary had work and anyway I love make this irregular design.
I also tried that descent tails for K and R (and may be L need same work)
thank you for your words and all useful mate words, I always appreciate good suggestions and critiques..!! and sometimes I appreciate bad words too.. lol
Regards
:D
