This could be very fun and interesting or a total shitstorm, regardless here we go.

I was thinking, maybe /gd/ could collaborate as a group and create and entire font together. Each person could try to contribute glyphs and we could see what happens.

Here's a base.zip. It has .eps and illustrator files with grids so all our glyphs look sort of the same.

this seems like a good idea, but how do we know who gets what glyphs?

Pardon my terseness there, I was on the phone.

tinyurl com/ozcznhx should be a copy of the .otf as it is now - with only the characters designed thus far embedded. I don't know if it'll work on windows, but apple's fontbook is happy to take a shot at it.

Thank you, I know it's much to take in if you're not a master at graphic design, but it's nice of you to try.
Apology accepted by the way and I'm doing you a favour doing this. If I talk to you too much, I will become less respected in the Design community. If you want to become more respected yourself, you should correctly punctuate your posts and refrain from using bland reaction images (especially if they don't even have UNIX timestamps in the filename - this really hurts your e-cred). I hope I helped you making you realize this; never stop trying to improve yourself and maybe one day you will be as great as I am.

Oh hey!

Here's a picture of the updated typeface, alongside a shot of the thing that's been distracting me over the last couple of days. I also keep on forgetting to put my trip on, so I've not been quite as visible as usual.

Anyway, the typeface is now up to date and if you wanted to give it a try, even with the missing characters, you can download kiddy po_ the font here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/71pf6t5moehwe5k/GD%20Frankenfont.ttf

The preview only shows the k and v, because of reasons. I've upped the UPM to fit >>90274 into the typeface in its full and glorious detail (I wanted to make sure). That shouldn't cause technical issues, but if it does give me a shout and I can learn to fix it. Similarly, if I've missed out anyone's contribution, bring it to my attention and I'll add them

As for the ens and ems and small cap chat - I've made a savaged version of minion so I can start making comparative images up.
