Design Your Own Fonts: From Paper to Screen

Wow this looks very good!  The lowercase has such a unique personality and coherence and rhythm. Congratulations! So, for it to become even better, here are my hints. Uppercase: - Find the minimalism you found on the lowercase - the F should inherit most of the design of the E (you can keep that different F as an alternate) -I think you should keep the horizontal stems of the uppercase, horizontal. What makes your lowercase so consistent is that you always keep the x-height line straight in almost all glyphs. Obviously the upward stem looks good on the A for instance, but that is because it is a letter that originally contains a diagonal - the Y is strange lowercase: - make the q as you made the b d p - understand f and j as similar but fliped, so they might have similar proportions - a bit more work on the k (i guess you need to find a better balance on where the diagonals meet) Numbers: - Keep them minimal, resist the temptation to make every single letter super different from what is arround And again, congratulations, very nice job!  Really excited to see where you go from here.

Hello Natanael!

It was a real struggle the uppercase letters. First I didn't want do do them but I challenged myself to go out of my comfort zone.

I tried to be consistent in all my letters and have them fit in a system somehow. The 20 degree guide.

It's good that I have failed so now I can learn from it.

Thank you for your feedback and the time you put in to make the video course for us!

Hello there!

That is the final product, I hope you like it. Please give me honest feedback on it so I cand improve the work. Comment and ask me anything.
