Noto Sans Tolong Siki

[marcoT0425]

Today, I'm working on Noto Sans Tolong Siki. The letters should be as tall as Telugu letters.

The quality is strangely low.
I managed to release 3.0 and want to make a sabbatical. Small fixes, add something to Library…

Which chars are problematic? Can you tell me?

[marcoT0425]

I've tried my best to create it.

[marcoT0425]

After I create the whole font, could you please review the glyph orientations and designs?

[Mercury13]

B0: you tried to repeat the craggy font up to curvature. Have you ever checked handwritten specimen?
B1: looks wide
B2: looks cramped
B6, B7 etc: how do you choose whether stroke’s butt is horizontal or perpendicular?
B8 etc: where lines meet, it’s tempting to make a line thinner
I don’t see whether there’s optical compensation
BA etc: doesn’t look in harmony
C5: you forget that it’s a font rather than a collection of glyphs. And it will be surely written alongside Devanagari, whose capacity is greater. Why are you making it so wide?

[Mercury13]

C0: really sharp corner here?

[Mercury13]

You seemingly don’t see how the quill should go in handwritten text.

I found it in Twitter/X.

B6 and B7 is fine. B6 should be more condensed

[marcoT0425]

The curvature should look like this.

[marcoT0425]

B1 and B2 are hard to draw. After I complete the whole font, can you make some enhancements? I’ll send an .sfd file to you

[marcoT0425]

C0 is rounded but Unifont displays as a sharped corner due to technical limitations.

[marcoT0425]

B2 needs to be more condensed
