Twilight (after 2 years)

Thank you Luc his candid take on Twilight in a scientific light: a monoline font that simulates synapses on the surface of neurons. On hindsigtht, Twilight was started 2 years back. Although I have been 'using' it (as artworks), it remains 'incomplete' due to the unresolved ligatures **time to rethink Twilight**

 Twilight is a monolinear bilingual san-serif hairline display family that exudes presence and gains mass at its anatomical joints. Elegant and subdue but not at the expense of being flat. Twilight draws attention as an understated style of quietude and allure with the sumptuous array of ligatures.

Ucleus (The U after P, Q, R, S, T)

This time round, the name simply 'sends itself to me' (compared to Twilight). Ucleus, a monospaced wide-countered stenciled san-serif is on its way. **feeling incredible**

Twilight Chinese + Italic

So, Twilight has a potential Chinese sibling, the italic (one so far) looks like a sure way to kill myself. Well done to have successfully distracted myself to another never-to-be-finished project. Kill the eyes and feed the soul.

Twilight Ligatures

Week one in school was pretty rough. Today is a beautiful Saturday. I need to take stock of my overdue work such as Twilight. The ligatures are obviously looking as lost and bewildered as ever. There are still some design elements I have not come into terms with. Perhaps releasing the uprights will make the goal more achievable...I will make a date with you again this Christmas.

'Simple' Stuff

Posters I passed by everyday but never really taking a good look at them.

Sobering Reminder

My favourite quote at the moment, with my favourite face :)

Looking forward to ATypI HK2012

3rd Week of School

Still ploughing through the italics and the ever-growing super list of ligatures ♥...

Moving on with Twilight Italic

Twilight Old Style Figures & Family

Yay! I will reward myself with a Korean movie tonight :D

Twilight (s.l.o.g.g.i.n.g..in.progress)

I thought I am done with the full set of basic opentype when I realized that I am not done the oldstyle figures yet! None of my faces offers oldstyle figures and I am determined to make it happen with Twilight.

Meanwhile, reading "Super Normal, Sensations of the Ordinary' by Naoto Fukasawa & Jasper Morrison

Birth of Twilight

Finally managed to get away from the job to work on my new typeface! Calling it Twinkle Twilight for now. It was a slow start with my files dated from the 1st of May. The key glyphs are basically done and the design of '@' gave me some ideas on the italic version. Not sure if it will expand to a heavy weight as yet. Meantime, am taking some time to catch up reading 衫蒲康平于亚洲同人的对话-亚洲之书／文字／设计.

Character Updates (Simple)

After more typesetting.

Prahaha Free Download

Finally, I have decided not to pursue Prahaha as a full latin character set which means I am not going to put it up for sale anyway and therefore might as well give it away for free. Download under the Creative Commons License. Prahaha, my very first and free typeface that comes in 3 weights which does not come in as a full latin character set. However, please contact me for commercial use.
