I'm with you. In bold and all-caps, it generates kind of a funky Gotham feel, which had me thrilled.

In the lower-case set and some of the other characters (each weight has ~375 characters), the half-and-half concept tended to bring out additional quirkiness. That helps make the font more unique, but uppercase is probably where it's strongest.

I have a new one! :)
It started out as an expansion of Rummy, but ended up being different enough to require its own identity.
One highlight is an Ultra-Condensed width for creating Billing Blocks.

I thought this before-and-after was pretty cool:

Nice Tim, I like the fact it has Ultra Condensed and Regular widths in the same font, that's very cool and something you don't see often in fonts.

Wow I really like that font! Great work! The before and after of Julius Caesar is very nice as well.

Out of interest how long do fonts take to make? I imagine it’s quite a long process.

Wow, I really like this font! Ct and I were wondering if you were working on a new font, as you had been absent lately. I cant imagine how much time it takes to create something like this

I wish more fonts did, especially serif fonts. But, even this one, where an ultra-condensed was the goal from the beginning, wasn't entirely cooperative, so it would probably be really tough to make something equivalent to a Trajan Ultra-Condensed.

I'm still learning a lot for the first time, so everything seems to take longer than it should.

It's one of those cases where the first 50% of the work is fairly quick and a lot of fun, then the rest is a battle. :D

Some designers have made fonts in a day, but 1 week to 1 month looks to be the average for simple projects. My next one coming soon took about a month.

I had a HiResChallenge entry in progress, but it was nowhere near ready to compete with xshoty and ctaulbee this month. :)
