This is the first draft of a new font I'm working on, (working name Alber) Some characters are missing and the spacing/kerning isn't completed as yet. Any comments would be much appreciated.
Very nice work, I can't imagine this is your first as the quality, consistency and concept is top notch. Critique? B, P, R are a hair small in context. also, how about an open numeral 4.
Proper work. Additionally to the previous critiques i have my doubts about the lc 'g'. It is alien in this alphabet - look at your textsetting. The same applies to the 'sz' which in fact is a greek 'beta' .

Very nice. The cap R looks a bit narrow, tho as I can't find one in your text setting, it may look fine in text.

Very very neath work, I agree on the "R" and also find the "K" a bit ackward. I like the font and would like to see heavier weights someday.
Congratulations.

Simon,
Great work! I like the quirky lc 'g' and the lc 'a' is nice too with its small bowl. Keep up to good work!

Are they the same? I was under the impression, backed up by Robert Bringhurst, that

Hi Edmund,
Of course they are not the same. I meant that Simon
