I gave the block san serif font a jagged edge. The typeface is incomplete but eventually one day I will finish the punctuations uploaded on Fontographer and then dafont.com.
Very cool font – looks finished to me :) I’ve wanted to make one too. How’d you do it?
Hi Steve. If you have a second please check out this typeface artist. I’ve never met him but I’m a fan of this work. He is a typeface designer with sample pages.
Thank You Steve! well…you have to creat a font from scratch then design a sample page to show off the font.. its alot of work for a type page but in the end. i will hope to up loaded on dafont.com. its too much of pain for most designers isn’t it? i slept on the whole idea of a group for say typepages and ambigrams. I think it may not be feasible for other designer to put the time and effort into it.
I want to make fonts too! I am constantly using and correcting mistakes in other’s fonts. As a sign maker, I enlarge fonts a lot. You would be surprised at the flaws it reveals.

Hi Sam. there are no right or wrong way of doing it. I mean if you look at all the typeface uploaded for free on dafont. allot of them have no lower case or numbers. let alone punctuation marks. this type designer billy argel created a type call gingo. I think he use a feather with a broken split tip as a pen tool to create this brush script. http://billyargel.blogspot.com/ I like his work because he surprise me with old way with fresh eyes of creating fonts. I’m planing to uploaded on dafont.com one day as soon as i save some money for the software upgrade.

Definately agreed about there is no right or wrong. I am more talking about some of the more infamous, cleaner, crisper fonts. The mistakes are usually inconsistencies from letter to letter. Or a big jag or off curve in one letter. I have fun with finding them. When looking at other’s art I enjoy looking for flaws. I particularly like finger prints. All signs that a human was involved. Some folks probably are not aware that people make fonts and better yet they are for the most part all based off of what a brush does naturally in the hand. Letters go very deep into our psyche…
