Three days into the project and thirty views already, though only two posts thus far, both from me.
Here are some more notes.
The font could perhaps be named A_Serifed_Roman using underscores.
This would mean that search engines could be searched for A_Serifed_Roman as if it is one word, thereby allowing versions of the font which are published on the web in various places to be found more easily.
What shape should the serifs be?
Recently I was preparing the thread named Bologna also in this forum.
While doing that, I found, serendipitously, the following document.
http://www.namethisfont.com/Images/DOWNLOADS/ViewVolume1.pdf
Looking through that document I found a collection of diagrams of various serif designs.
These are on pages 67 to 70 of the pdf document, page numbers as denoted by Acrobat Reader.
Which type of serif design should be chosen for A_Serifed_Roman?
Within that type, could a special, distinctive design be produced for A_Serifed_Roman, perhaps a design which arises from a few off-curve points in the design?
The serif would need to be specified such that it could be used in situations such as a letter H, a letter E and a letter C.
How should a letter o be designed?
Should it go below the zero line a bit? If so, how far, in font units?
How should the inner contour be designed?
What should the font metrics be?
I have used an ascender of 2048 for all of my fonts. Is that what should be used for A_Serifed_Roman or is there a better choice?
Please post your views.
