Inoda Typeface New — Fontlab

I have constructed the typeface into a finalised set of Upper-case letterforms. I will try and develop a lower case but the identity will usually focus on the Upper-case so I am not sure if its worth it. Happy to know that it works with a simple sans serif and this ties in the simplicity aspect that I initially wanted to install in the identity.

 I have been using blocks to give the counters equal spacing, the circle blocks are given slightly less space to provide optimum optical illusion and balance with the squared aspects of the face.

The circles also sit slightly above the x height for the same reasoning as the spacing in the counters. When they sit flat there is slightly too much space between the letterforms and baseline / x height. They also sit slightly below the baseline to balance the letterforms.

These images illustrate that all the proportions are correct and how I have been using illustrator to create the initial forms then recreating them in Fontlab. Due to dissertation research I learnt a lot of the dangers about creating typefaces with too many anchor points so I am happy with how the final forms have developed.

I have also been creating a series of glyphs to get the typeface to a finalised form that I can hand to Inoda & Sveje when it's done.

Below are the characters that I have covered so far... enough to start working on the publication with the typeface in a .ttf document but I will keep pursuing it until I have a competed file.

I have been watching tutorials about kerning in fontlab. These are the letters with very similar forms that will have the same kerning with most letters. This function allows you to group them and when editing the kerning for one it automatically does it for all letters.
