My 2nd Bold Sketch is looking much better. The first sket h didn't make words 'stand-out as bold in a wall of text. So it felt more of a 500 weight in text than a 700 weight. I think thisone may be ready for design crit!

My first bold sketch is not looking too bad.

Unfortunately, I found lots of 'messy' points while making the bold - so it is the Midwest of all versions. Still in Robofont, fir speed before last review office hours session on Wednesday. Then I'll have time to sort out the software.

It's so easy to use my font on a personal computer, instead of a work managed desktop (Apple) or my Samsung Notebook which has gotten relegated to TV remote.

I'm putting together a before/after specimen sample for the course to add in an Instagram reel of everyone's efforts - some really nice work in the class.

It's fascinating using PowerPoint again. Very little UI has noticably changed in the 2 years since I left. I'm so glad they kept the ribbon.

Suggestion for a specimen profile typography / layout encouraged - point me to fabulous examples!

I care about these looking similar - part of a system - while also easy to distinguish. Still some changes to make before I'm ready to draft a 700 weight

My homework changes to glyphs passed review in class. I also got some great new advice to tackle the things that still irritate me (k K, R), and new advice about typical ways of doing things that I didn't know. It's good to know. A great last class.

My favourite quote from the last class was "the whole course has been worth it just for that g"

Ended up doing my homework on the work supplied Apple again. I'm fond of the way the B & D have evolved. But the last comma update is perhaps a step too far

From Instagram photo annotation typefaces. Interesting that they mix them with the storied æ in the more formal tyestyles.

I will try some other approaches - Aiming at maintaining original lowercase letters forms...
