First attempt at creating a typeface and first 'fontstruction'. This font is a response to the Words and Image's Type project in 1st year at UWE, Bristol. The idea for this font came from the word 'Ornate' which drove me to look at the intricate posters and works of French artists Alphonse Mucha and Toulouse Lautrec. This typeface was inspired by the curvacious hand drawn type that makes each piece so distinctively recognisable. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

This is so nice, love the curves and the gradual thick to thin strokes. Letter D is my fav

Excellent! You can definitely see the art nouveau influence and you have done the curves really well

Smooth! Space between words could be wider.

I agree! Do you know how i'd go about adjusting it?

It's after the lowercase in the fontstructor, press W and adjust the green line. More info here

Love it! I'm staring at an art nouveau poster cross the room from me right now, and this definitely captures the spirit.
