Caprichosa WIP by MagdalenaTR Caprichosa WIP by MagdalenaTR
Well... meet my new font, Caprichosa....
It's still a work in progress, as there are only lower cases now.
In a way, it's sort of like Century Gothic... but different
When I have a bit more time, I shall complete it.
If you are wondering on how it originated, it was drawn during a design history class where the topic of fonts was touched.
As for the name, it's really an inside joke with my friends in Design with me... =P

I NEED SUGGESTIONS CONCERNING:
-Kerning (letter separation)
-Odd looking letters
-Anything else that bugs you

EDITED KERNING, some letters still need to be sorted out... like the j and g

TO TRY IT OUT:
-Download
-Open: My Computer --> C:/ --> Windows --> Fonts
-Drag font to folder

Any comments are greatly appreciated!! If you download, please tell me if you can. Also, the purpose of this font is not so much to write a text file in it, as for using it in big.

CORRECT FILE IS UP!!</>

26-05-08: added UPPER CASE letters, ñ, comma and period. Still have to fix the kerning though.

Very nice design. I just think the low x-height is unfortunate; I must admit I've never been a fan of a low x-height for a sans-serif typeface.

A few pointers:
- The ascender of 't' should be lower than in h/k/l/b/d
- In the system of capital widths you're working with (one based on the Venetian typefaces) the 'H' should be quite wide.
- If 'I' has slab serifs then I think 'J' should have a serif on the top left.
- 'M' is a bit too wide I think.
- There should be an upright version of 'A'. You can add that slanted version as an alternate with OpenType functionality.

Started by drawing the letters on paper. Then, on Freehand, I made the basic shape which I could use for all the letters, and started forming them there. When they were all done, I used Font Creator 5 to actually make the font. :D

It looks like it could be used as a Ghostbusters font, with using all the CAPS for their name tags... ;)

Well to me, it looks like the style of writing that was used on their name tags on their uniforms. Don\'t worry, it isn\'t a bad thing. :) Here is what I am talking about. :) [link]

ahhhh, okay :XD:
I can't say it's too similar (but then again, with me being a font addict, I've seen my fair share of them that are more like that).. but there is a resemblance :D
