Extremely nice!

Since livejournal is still down, and I am addicted to posting small images, please strive to enjoy

Much like Evanston was a fun experiment in "warming up" chicago, I thought I'd try "cooling down" "Hockey is Lif" to see what came out. There is a lot of charm to the entropyful quality of hand-drawn fonts, but I also love the basic architecture of a lot of the letters in HiL, and I derive enjoyment from the exercise of trying to reinvent wheels I like.

The way the a tilts is surprising and cool, the huge lowercase k I like, and the unusual connection positions of the capital K, (or is it that unusual? I'm used to the upper diagonal connecting to the stem, and then the lower diagonal connecting to the upper diagonal - yours is obviously the converse) the leaning-back-to-the-left of the c and e, the low waistline on the H, the sharp swash of the q, and hard-to-articulate nicenesses about the G, R, N, S.

Now you can use it as your Windows default menu font.

Although it's obviously a gimmicky font, it's right brace} looks like it could be the basis for a nice looking "normal" font.

Also, I'm happy that it is a constructively valid font, having been constructed.

In addition to all of the <3ed entries I also like "ohio pile" and the portrait of danny durand in "spaghetti". Is the stuff in "best case always" spelling out anything, or is it just curves? Nice curves anyhow. The bombbot in "elba" is very cute, as are the puns in "curry howard".
