Getting busy in the FontLab, starting on a new face; tentatively “EFTR.” At this stage, it’s just a skeleton showcasing proportions before I draw out the legit specimen as a style guide. After a survey of OCR typefaces, I decided to style some of the more condensed characters wider to help with the horizontal metrics. Dropping the cap height down helped with evening out these proportions. I’m dreaming up a face that reads well at moderate to small sizes on screen and has a subtle technical look to it.
