I like it. It has a nice flavor for display, or very small texts. It is both pixely (obviously) but also - full of personality. The flavor of that personality is hard for me to describe. Part of that comes from the way the personality interferes with legibility. Actually, that's part of the flavor. A kind of willful disreagard for easy reading. The clash is part of what is interesting but it also obscures the flavor of what is below that for me. It makes you say, what is that? Like a curtain or a cloud in front of something. I guess what I mean is that to me it adds interest. Under that cloud is what? I am not sure. It is decorative & old fashioned but I guess I don't know my type history enough to guess at it's source. It does feel a bit dutch or spanish to me.

Hi everybody,
thanks for the posts. Maybe the great mystery behind pixeleite is the way as the serif became a module because of the grid. What you guys thinks?
I don't understood about the dutch and spanish flavour, can you explain better?

I fixed the problems with popups in the Making-off session. Take a look.

Interesting appointments you did Eben. But I disagree of the most of all. About the Spanish look and feel: no iron works! Maybe ceramics! :) Sometimes the lowercases look to me as a calligraphy piece, sometimes. Anyway, to me the tech inspiration is present in the typeface, but with a exotic appeal.
I really like the Dutch design work. In Brazil we have a great heritage of the European vanguards.
Anyway when I start the font my mind was clear but I have only one the statement: Please everything else except another boring pixel font. During the drawings I respect the grid for the most of characters but sometimes don’t (M for example). This kind of deliberated disobedience create most of the characters.

Hi Eben,

don't worry! I really like your comments. Since I started to show the fonts, 1 or 2 months ago, I received different opinions but the overall concern was positive. The readability and legibility is a recurrent topic but is really not my principal matter. The exploration of the formal aspect to me is more important in this case. I agree with the legibility crusaders in some points. The uppercases works much better than the lowercases. The more difficult to me was draw some diacritcs signals because of the complexity of some one. In the last days I´m working in another versions. One is the same drawing but is for print and the others are for “ultra-large” sizes. Take a look bellow.

Yes i'm using the filter :) But i'm working over it because the filter alone make some crappy.

Humm two diferent glyph sizes? Sorry i' don´t understanded you. Tell me more.

I´m planning make other versions with the same outline size but prepared to work in different layers. To make colored versions do you understand? This is a photoshop preview:

what you think?

First: this type has a very strong andine flavour, I like it a lot, it has much potential, it makes me think of some "Techno Inca" sort of thing.

Secondly: congratulations to Brazil for beating Argentina in the confederations cup and thanks for the vengeance (muajaja).

Hi Eben, yes now I see :)

Ahhh the Neder Pixeleite Rabisco is a sketched version (in portuguese rabisco means drafts, roughts, sketchs)
