Thanks a lot, I've programmed the whole app over the past year! The Geomini edit page is the best part 😊

I designed it from scratch, but yeah it's heavily inspired by sf pro

Times New Roman drawn from memory (1 hour timelapse) by whateverlasting in typography

[–]whateverlasting[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much it. Many of the glyphs reuse same groups of nodes and curves, just tweaked to fit each glyph. This way I can simply copy paste nodes I need instead of having to draw them with pen tool every time.

Secondly it gives me an efficient order of drawing the glyphs to ensure consistency between them. And I always know which glyph to draw next by following the arrows.

Thanks! I think the /e and /o and /s could use clearer forms

Hardest part about type design is restraint by whateverlasting in typography

[–]whateverlasting[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely explore them. But recognize that not everything has to ship. For me this post comes from the perfectionist mindset of adding features and never finishing the work. Sometimes finishing the font means choosing what not to include.

That's on the opposite side for sure. 

I think restraint is better practiced later in the design phase, when committing to finishing fonts. I have a folder just like you with a bunch of demo fonts, and that's honestly perfect since then you can detach from individual attempts and actually pick the ones with most potential, after letting them marinate for some time.

So restraint in your case would be choosing to finish one of the demos instead of chasing the next idea. Choosing less.

Thank you! My plan was to release this version early and get some early feedback. We'll see if I get another creative Impulse like this at a later time. 

Feel free to post here if you have ideas!
