A font naively designed
NW Practice
NW Practice is a geometric monospaced font. It is a project that began during Inktober 2020. I describe this font as naively designed because it’s the first vector font I worked on.
Inktober 2020 in depth logs
- Now that the latin alphabet is complete, there is much less visual output to show. I’ll update milestones.
Today’s task was to get a better balance overall. - The latin alphabet is completely drafted. I also began to work on ponctuation marks.
- Began working on uppercase glyphs. “A”, “D”, “E”, “F”, “H”, “I”, “L”, “M”, “N”, “O”, “P”, “R”, “T”, “U”, “V”, “W”, and “Z” were drafted.
- Not a big output day, I mostly reworked the ascenders and descenders, and drafted the lowercase of “v”, “w”, “y”, “z” and read about type design online.
- I didn’t spent much time on it today. I changed the width of each glyphs and adjusted their size and weight considering the new width value. It’s not yet quite readable on smaller sizes. I drafted new glyphs: “e”, “c”, “g”, “i”, “l”, “j”, “u”, “f”, “0”, “o”, “p” and “q”
- I drafted the lowercase “t”, “m” and “n”. I redrew the “h” and made some adjustements on the widths and thickness of each glyphs. It still sucks big time for six glyphs.
- I drafted the lowercase “l”, “a”, “d” and “b”. I should fix the sizing issue during this week-end.
- I began with the lowercases of “h” and “r”. They have simple shapes that I can reuse with “n”, “p”, etc.
