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.

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 :lol: quite welcome the only stipulation is that you call it Behounek Bold

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!

Thanks for keeping Hand Lettering in the Forum,

Mark
