Yeah gramme, I know you were on holiday or something like that, but the ampersand is one of the coolest glyphs.. ever*

there are some really cool characters in this set, would be a real shame not to make fonts out of them

I'm working on it (started out as based on my Q, but turned into something else - still need to find a good shape for the 'new' Q)
- quite nice, too much copy/paste though, especially D. inconsistent wights, esp. thin strokesjimbojones
- Yeah, working on getting them more consistent visually.neverblink
- the top of the A is also too dark, make the thin stroke thinner closer to the apex. the double serifs on R's leg look awkward, the K doesn't support itjimbojones
- awkward, the K doesn't support it. S needs more inward serifs with such C, G, J. general proportions across all letters (width) is kinda offjimbojones
- is kinda offjimbojones
- Thanks for the feedback.neverblink

my 7 is different :(
- I know, FL crashed with your version and I didn't have time to clean it up in AI the way it was meant. You can't have paths in a font, only shapesjimbojones
- a font, only shapesjimbojones
- :( I can fix it and send it your way with only shapesjoseprieto
- but it would be unfair to others...jimbojones

^ It ain't perfect, but I can't spend more time fiddling with this. Hope you like.

- granted it could use some ironing out in a couple places, if you're feeling industrious jimbo...gramme
- definitely could use some ironing, center stroke is way too thin for exaple. it's cool you still took time to do it!jimbojones
- NP. Can you work with the PDF above? If not, shoot me an email. Not sure if I have your correct info.gramme
- it's not going to make it to the font because it's too late, anything else would be unfair to others. sorry I didn't make it clear?jimbojones
- clear?jimbojones
- That's ridiculous. No, you didn't make it clear.gramme

I think you need to put that ampersand in jimbo. Yeah it was late, but hell I was slammed with work, then on vacation, then slammed with work again, and I took a few hours of my time out of a work day to bang out that ampersand for you.
And no, you didn't make it clear by any stretch of the imagination that I missed the cut. I told you I was working on it just a day or two before I sent it, and you said "OK".

gramme,
seriously? "waste my time"? it's a community project that you signed up for understanding the deadline, it was one character, any style, no AD demanding revisions. jimbo stated when it would be done. He understood he would have to take time from his schedule to complete the font as promised. Those who fulfilled their obligations by the deadline submitted knowing their work would be included in the cache that jimbo had to work with while compiling our submissions into the face. We have downloaded his work in the form of the font linked previously. Now your error in time management justifies a demand of inclusion? I tend to disagree with your attitude here. your delay requires each of us to then update our files. this simply wreaks of needy. Your best bet is to hope to be included if the lowercase revolution ever gets underway.
I saw your ribbon work too, i suggest you work on the intersections and think through more of the over under situations and submit it instead of this hurried "waste of your time" you demand be added.
