As someone who has explored a hundred typefaces in the last month for a branding project. IMO it’s passable but far from the best. It has some nice aspects but the italics almost has a chancery feeling. My main issue is in the negative spaces and some of the more novel angles 📐

would you mind throwing up a few (google fonts) that you really liked? (i’ve got a typography_gap in my knowledge && have only got a few books to contribute to the conversation, but they are the usual suspects) any resources are truly appreciated 🎉

Ok I have some in mind recently but do you care about type ie. Slab, transitional, wedge, old style….
