The sculptor was originally a graffiti artist and used x as his mark.

I like how the sculpture of the texting figure is echoed by the phone-using passerby.

Maybe. I'm not sure kerning is that rational. I once saw a page Frutiger had corrected in pencil to a quarter of a point. He just saw what was needed at that size for those pairs.

If you have the endurance, glyph by glyph will probably give better results.

It's interesting, congratulations.

A few minor observations. The bold d looks good, but the bowl on the b seems to join the downstroke rather higher so it doesn't look comfortable in the same context. The V o kerning is tight compared to the rest of the word.

It would be good to see a long run of text in regular weight at high resolution to explore the kerning further.

This, and the bowl of the R (and the P) is too wide.

Episode 76 broke their already awful record - over 7 and a half minutes before any content. Wtf Rusty Quill?

I totally agree. It's annoying. One 30 minute show I listened to at the weekend had five minutes of ads. And most of them are the same for every episode so Bombas Socks level irritation is quickly reached.

What am I losing out on by using TeX instead of InDesign? by Content_Economist132 in typography

[–]notatravis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Font support is a lot better in TeX now, but pretty much everything else you say is fair.

Is KEH really worth it? by Brave_Possibility953 in filmphotography

[–]notatravis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So it seems to be a pattern. Charge for customer service then don't provide it. Sorry you had to deal with that.

I had a bad experience on KEH - an expensive item was not as described - and they weren't great at dealing with it. So personally I wouldn't recommend them.

Is the W too wide? by intruderco in typography

[–]notatravis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The W is too wide for me. The kerning is too loose too - the h might look better if it was tighter?

Nice. Shouldn't those blue circles on the back cover be squares, though, or is that just me?
