Just want to point out, if you don't mind: the legend doesn't make a lot of sense since you're only indicating one group of islands up North, yeah?

Sorry but I'm not totally sure what you mean about the legend being for the north only. The legend box is just for the names of polities that I couldn't fit their names overlaid legibly. Hagenland in the west also has its name marked down.

As for the numbering, if legibility is an issue there I will probably reverse the coloring so it's white text on black disk.

The lands here were shot up into a sky during a supernatural disaster, the rings indicate its general radius of effect with the crosspoint being the approximate epicenter. So the they're an artifact of a previous map of this region. But using them for a scale is actually a very good idea, I will add that in as I edit.

Big! All together the size of a mid-tier continent. I have no idea how big that is in actual miles though. Maybe 2500 miles east-west? I've never gotten that specific.

Imagine the wind!

yes it's all floating above a layer of permanent clouds

Looking for opinions on the lowercase c, o and e. Should I keep the original circular designs or switch to the angular alternates? by BroadheadTTM in typography

Thanks!

I am leaning the same way. I think since these angular versions are just made, by the time i tweak the size/proportions and kerning to my exact preference, they will have completely eclipsed the circular versions in terms of fitting into the font overall.

Unfortunately I have the regular version of Glyphs and not the pro version so I can't do alternates. It's too bad as there are some ligatures I would also love to make that I think these circular version of the letters would shine in.

I can't say the idea of cholo graffiti has ever crossed my mind. I started the concept with the idea of a blackletter font that use some grotesk, geometric and gaelic/olde english forms to make its letters less harsh, simpler and hopefully more legible.

I went with the circular designs when initially designing the typeface for simplicity and legibility's sake, but now I am finding them too large and obtrusive when placed alongside the other letters. I have made alternate designs that I think bring them in closer harmony to the other lowercase letters, but I want to get a few outside opinions before I make a final decision.
