Re: Hand Lettered Alphabet Designed By Me
I really like the lowercase letters. They have a lot of nice swing about them. I'm not sure if you have uppercase designed or not, but the B you have there seems a tad lighweight in comparison. Are you planning to have it made into a font?
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

Re: Hand Lettered Alphabet Designed By Me
Yes you are correct it was only designed as lower case however at 74 l have a feeling l wont get around to doing the upper case When l have used it in the past on jobs l tend to use the lower case for the caps when it works ...the answer to whether or not l will make it into a font is no However if you would like to do it you are quite welcome the only stipulation is that you call it Behounek BoldKelly Thorson wrote:I really like the lowercase letters.

Ron: This is a great style. Those fat-topped ascenders and fat-bottomed descenders ought to lend a lot of bounce to a line of copy. And it's a treat to see this fresh out of the oven, with stabilo lines and all.
You say you may not develop the caps: OK...but you've GOT to show us the numerals, at least!
