Hey there, just thought I’d post a very early look of what my upcoming Navarro Svizzera font looks like … As you can see hinting around D, T, and Y still needs to be fixed but I’m far from finished as is obvious

Yeah, I know. The Lord had a bad hairday when giving me the look I’ve got
But the font is not that bad at least… though Windoze seems to have problems hinting *.OTF-fonts correctly - but then… I dont’ really use windoze for any serious stuff … just too bloody unstable…
Just have to trace the missing 1040 characters before my font is MES-2 and WGL4 compliant
The font seems nice enough, although I find the name rather strange (not that strange names are not common for fonts). Does it mean something in Danish?

Heh… no, not in danish. However in italian it does
Svizzera is the italian name for Switzerland and is named so because Navarro Svizzera is a sans serif-font (without feet). The most wellknown sans serif-font is Helvetica (meaning Switzerland - in latin), other sans serif - fonts are named Arial (we know that one) and Switzerland, Suisse and so on… So I wanted to be original and chose Svizzera because no sans serif-font has that name
Navarro is a prefix I’m using for all of my fonts. I think it was a kingdom in Spain for like 800-1000 years ago, but I’m not sure. I just like the sound of it :lol:
