Merry Trixmas!

In this joyful holiday, I think it’s a proper moment to confess. I gonna apologize first because my first typeface “Rubbery” will delay for a while. The main reason is that I’ve bought MetricsMachine recently, a fantastic tool for kerning by Tel Leming, so I decide to readjust the whole kerning and metrics for better quality. For my sorry to the late release, I will add two different weights in Rubbery to make it more flexible. Please give me more time and I promise it will be worthy.

Recently, I have another two sans serif fonts in progress. About two mouths ago, I started reading “The stroke“, a practical book by Gerrit Noordzij. A rough inspiration just jumped out of mind when I read the foreword that Mr. Noordzij mentioned about a interrupted and running construction in writing. I made several sketches and scan it to digital and try to make a running sans serif but not Italic. Then, according to the sketches, I developed two fonts “Runna” and “Walka” which distinguished by different level of the running flow. The uppercase and lowercase have just done, but the detail still need to be tuned. I’ll put on some samples when I finished the character set.

2009 is a tough year for me but I’m still grateful because I learned a lot in the past year. Wish you a Merry Christmas and have great 2010!
