I’ve been struggling with keeping up the momentum on my latest Roman type. I generally work on my type designs during the fall and winter months, because the cold, wet and dark days are conducive to settling indoors in front of a warm computer display. I’ve been really, really busy at my real, day job, and that’s made it a little more challenging, too. But, I really like the direction this design is going. Kinda a weird blend of Hermann Zapf, Oldrich Menhart and Matthew Carter. Maybe it’s a little too sharp and condensed, but it seems to set nicely at smallish sizes. I often get this far on a design, and then I seem to lose interest and begin something else. Must keep going... must finish a typeface design... just one...
