    Yo everybody!

    Do you rememeber the good old days… when we were designing dingbats for whatever?

    It could be nice to make a Fontnest dingbats for the next workshop… ?nop?

  2. Nefertiti – thin egyptienne

    Nefertiti – thin Egyptienne (Workshop n°0: Fontes à 40 mains)
    the format to handle to the group is vector based, so EPS or SVG is the best i assume
    the only parameter fixed is the x-height: 20cm
    we all know it will be a thin, with square terminations (egyptienne is part of Thibeaudau classification in france * or is it up for interpretation as well? you decide!), and it would be named after nefertiti…
    the rest is up for interpretation: highs, lows, top/bottom proportion, general shape, termination size/proportion, precise weight

    DEADLINE: 9th of December.

    Here are the glyphs; I reduced the amount to the caps and lower case, plus integer and few ponctuation signs.
