I'm making this public as a WIP. Suggestions for anything, especially the /v, are appreciated. Keeping this ARR for a while.

Looking good and legible! The top serif of the d should probably point to the left, like all your other top serifs. And about your v, normally the stress is the opposite of what you have made. That is: the left (downward) stroke should be thicker than the right (upward) stroke.

Other than that, it's very nice. I'll clone it and play around with it and tell you if I find any better solutions :)

You'll notice the /r's connection is nudged. I want it as narrow, but preserving the terminal. Also, it's very complicated. The /g says it all. It took some (half-baked) will.i.om thinking and an average of 10-30 minutes per letter*!
*maybe?

I have decided that my ego is too high and want to lower it. So for the learning and improvement of others, I have given it to the public domain. My only request is that when you build upon this design, you use an open license that allows permission to build upon/clone your fontstruction. Being optimistic, I hope people that build upon this design.

Thank you very much! I'll clone it to see your work close-up. It will be interesting as I don't manage to create such beautiful shapes.

Good heavens ...... how did you get to all those bitsy bits in there?? I can't get my mind around this ........

1. Set filters to 1x1.
2. Copy letter.
3. "Un-nudge" by nudging up x 2, nudging down x 4, nudging up x2, nudging left x 2, nudging right x 4, and nudging left x2.
4. Paste in original copy.
5. Examine and enjoy.
See below v

I always considered Fontstruct to be a puzzle, a tool for brain training first, and making fonts only come after. Legiblus is a case in point, but hardly the only one. Thank you for the short tutorial and the exploded view of "g". I would give 10/10, should the rating work again.

I just managed to vote, so here are your 21/10. As for the structure of the g et al: that is crazy work. How did you get to that solution?! Just by pushing, pulling, nudging, compositing? And 'accidentally' discovering a great shape? I'm lightyears away from that kind of thinking power. I'm in awe .....

When I constructed the /o, I restricted myself to a quarter-circle. I did trial and error and if you follow my steps if you isolate the outer area of circle it's very simple. I have a good mindset and my ADD actually helps.

Fixed weight of /O.
