The Battle of HurushiniLong ago, there was a small town called Hurushini. This was an industrial town very well known for their unique lingerie. Every family in the town was very wealthy and possessed large amounts of real estate.

The neighboring town of Horobosu became highly covetous and declared war on Hurushini to gain their land and lingerie factories. Horobosu had an uncommonly athletic army and could easily beat Hurushini because they did not possess an army, being a peaceful grassroots project.

All of the leaders of Hurushini soon heard of this war through their gossip magazines and planned to take action. The Head Honcho at the leading women’s night

Toying with a new 'a', although I'm afraid it's not as "warm" as previous examples.

Really liking the new 'a' though I would still give its tail a bit of a curl. The 'r' looks well balanced. I'm not 100% certain about the ear in 'g' being connected with the top like that though. It looks consistent with 't' but in my opinion it looks too odd. It might be excellent at text sizes though.

I'm working on completing the caps and spacing things a little more realistically, so I can do some good text prints. Then we can see what's really working or not.

Don't you want this one to work at display size as well though?

~brianskywalker Apr 11, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

You do have a point. Honestly I'd like to make a version drawn especially for display sizes. To certain extent, when one makes a font for all sizes, there has to be a lot of compromises for some sizes. Whereas by focusing on making it work for just a small class of sizes, I can make it truer to that size. The same things that make it work well at text sizes though, will probably make it quirky & interesting at large sizes.

*MartinSilvertant Apr 12, 2012 Professional General Artist

Well a typeface like Calunna works brilliantly at all sizes. What you're working on now really seems to be an excellent text font so a special display version seems like a great idea.

~brianskywalker Apr 12, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yes, I think perhaps a certain robustness can be used to make something work well across the board. And that's a good thing to have. But not all typefaces want to have that kind of quality and air. I want Apline to live in text, as if it had just grown up there in books.
