New font #3- Pellucid (renamed "Glacier Belle")


Andrew Davie

Recommended Posts

This one pays attention to improving the descenders and making lowercase look as lowercase-like as possible.

The letter height is reduced by one - which works surprisingly well. It's completely sans-serif, and an interesting size reduction in the numbers actually work, in spite of the reduced resolution.

 

Possibly the cleanest/nicest of the lot...?
Let's call it...  Pellucid

IMO the 'N' looks odd and is very hard to read. I suggest using a large lowercase 'n' there.

N is perhaps, surprisingly, one of the hardest letters to do.

Here's a comparison...

I think in some cases it's better, some worse. Right hand picture shows a slightly improved version, I think.

But I really do NOT like the "uppercase lowercase n", so there's that.

It's completely against the feel/style I was trying to achieve with this particular font.

 

Fortunately we can have more than one font - "small caps" for you, "glacier belle" for me, and "captain morgain spice" for @Al_Nafuur

That leave a spare one that nobody likes ;). -- Trichotomic-12, so I guess that can be modified if required.

I think we also need a Japanese font. I did a log files analysis today and it seems we have unknown PlusCarts connecting from Tokyo.
?
