@Baba last time I had only gotten to the letter "r" and now the entire lowercase is finished first draft. If it's not noticeable no problem I suppose.

I've updated the font a bit and have finished the first draft of the lowercase letters. Let me know what you think. Same link.

@Baba @B yes video is a bit depressing for me 😥

I think "landscape" as in the two orientations for a photo/painting. Like "portrait" or "landscape". I think @B took a portrait photo and cropped it weird.

@B oh no we can tell what posts you are responding to. If you click on your response posts it shows the full context, and also if I look at the original post it shows your response under it. Think of the main timeline like your email inbox where it's an overview and if you want more info you just click on it.

I can play around with the settings a bit sometime maybe there's a better way.

@ChrisFerris this is surprising to me

who's that on the left?

@ChrisFerris no reason other then they are talking about american politics

@B in the font design world it's often considered best practice to start with capital "H" and "O". I actually do often start with the letter "a" which is probably sacrilegious. I try and get a complete alphabet as quickly as possible because in my mind the only way to really evaluate if your letters are working is using them in words. Like with report cards, alphabetical can solve favoritism.

@B well it's funny because this was in Italy in the 1400s and they didn't have the same alphabet we have now. Can't find any k, w, z and I know for a fact they didn't have j back then and there.

reading about bagels apparently NYC bagels are special because of the tap water? Thinking a new yorker oughta boil the tap water until it's a minerally paste and sell it as "NYC water concentrate" so we can make proper bagels elsewhere

@B when you upload photos there's an "edit" button that you can use to set the focal point of the photo

Hey guys!

I made a little website where you can test out the progress of this revival. I will try to update it as I work on it if you are interested.

This is the book I'm using as a reference for my historical revival project for school. It's from the 1400s. Someday it will be a downloadable font I think.
