nice Ren

Hmmm, I see what you mean, Neil. Do you have any suggestions perhaps on how to spice the Y/y up?
And yes, I'll definately make a set of lining figures. I want the original type to have the OSF figures because that gives it a little bit flair.
You really think the V is to wide? I agree about the M, N, W. I'll correct them.
I'm also thinking about some icons/pictograms or numerals. But I first need some topics on what icons would be sencefull to have in a type like this. Something for later.

The font has a 33 degree angle in the diagonals. Would it be a problem if, by creating the other widths, this angle would change? Because if I stretch the type the angle changes with it. If I correct this the openings in some characters (a, e, p) will become to small, because the endpoint of the angle moved to the right.

Perhaps it's me that I want to be more than perfect and can't see that it's finished. I have that problem more often, so...

Thanks,
Ren

I think so, since hinting can do almost anything. Which is why sometimes it's made to do too much - but that's another thread...

hhp

If you have an integer-ratio slope (like 2/3) in mind and want to get the angle:
Just take its arc-tangent. ATAN(0.666) = ~33.69 degrees

If you have a degree angle (like 33) in mind and want to find the closet integer-ratio slope:
Take its tangent, and do a 1-over to make it easier to read. 1/TAN(33) = ~1.54
Then you [generally] have to decide how to round it to get a nice ratio - in this case probably 1.5 is best.

Oh boy, there we go again. This goes way over my creative head.
I'll try to change the slope in the type. But can I ask you about the formula later, hhp? Only when I have something similar to this? Really, mathematics is no-no land for me.

Thanks,
Ren
