Big Boned Typeface: Alpha Release Poster
I'm really grateful for all of the kind messages (both public and private) and exposure you guys have given me. In return, here's my gift to all you guys for your support throughout this year.
This is an alpha build, meaning that the metrics still need some refinement (you will need to manually adjust the kerning on a few letters - and it will make good practice as I think manual kerning is necessary most of the time when dealing with display type)... i'm releasing it now since I want you guys to have something before the year ends :-) Once the font is ready for beta testing, I will post the beta release with all appropriate glyphs and kerning adjustments on this flickr post in order to get proper feedback regarding problems or concerns ;-) (bear in mind that this typeface is all caps only)
This is my first display typeface done with fontlab and it may not have all of the glyphs, but it will cover most of the essential needs :-)
This isn't required, but if you use it for any kind of work, let us all know about it in this flickr post ;-)

As a side note, unfortunately, I haven't been able to complete the Archivo 17 typeface yet, but I will release it in the future and will let you guys know about it, i promise! ;-) and the website still needs to be properly coded... way too many bugs with the XML parsing and dynamic content... might not make it before the year ends :-(
Thank you for everything my dear friends, and let's hope that 2009 will be a great year :-)
