How long ago is this post from? I'm wondering if you came up with the
JFL stuff before I did :)

Ah, not that long ago. Would be very weird to find someone else using it
a decade ago or something :J)

My eye seems to track to individual line in the letter .. which makes it look crap.. but if you view the letter as a shade then i suppose it looks good. Hence why I draw "clean" linedrawing .. and almost no shading images

It is. But eye-practise too. Many people develop the taste for characters late. > > My eye seems to track to individual line in the letter .. which makes it look crap.. but > if you view the letter as a shade then i suppose it looks good. No, no. This is not about the "shade" at all. The JFL puts the _line_ where it belongs by paying the price of extra line pieces here and there. If those extra bumps are not connected to anything else in the picture your eye should somewhat ignore them. > Hence why I draw "clean" linedrawing .. and almost no shading images Well, I would call your style "light" whereas the JFL stuff is straight lines too - but strong. :) Andreas ____________ .-- _______________ _____F________ T F Y .-""""-.

It doesn't work well in courier - but something with less serifs like fixedsys
is better. Theres probably a bit of viewing it as a shade, but its more that
I'm after a vertical line that isn't centred on the character block, which
JFL give you. The extra bits are annoying, but IMO ignorable. Row gets away
with extra lines :)
: Hence why I draw "clean" linedrawing .. and almost no shading images
Its a matter of style yes. And wouldn't it be boring if we all had the same
style? :)

: BTW, you know that Phillip Kaulfuss
: http://www.afn.org/~afn39695/kaulfuss.htm
: used the little brother jfl?
I didnt :) And I was right, it is very weird :) He's got an unusual type font
on that page, my 'l' doesnt look like that. Very handy if it did.
Looks like he's using the curves of f and j too, whereas I'm mostly just after
the vertical line for doing perspective.

Wonder why I never used 'Y' like that. I guess I'd use 'L' instead for a line
over to the left side of the character. And '[' and ']' have an annoying
habit of being centred with a bit sticking out the direction you dont want
the line to be in some fonts (eg courier).
