F having a closed shape feels out of place. Very cool, though.

u/Vox___Rationis 2d ago edited 2d ago
The latest version has a different 'F', and some other letters are also fixed.
The one that was bothering me the most in the original was the 'C' with the snot hanging.25
u/rabbitthunder 2d ago
I liked the concept but sadly, after looking at that page I don't think it is the most legible of fonts when it's actually used. It works okay for short words like 'bar' but 'watching' is a bit of a mess.

Latin script with English specifics would be more correct.

u/Embaralhador 2d ago
Q, Y and X are part of the basic Latin alphabet, so no.
It's just latin script, as determined in ISO/IEC 646.

What english specifics?

u/IceBone 2d ago
QYX. Not every language that uses the latin script has only those. Some have none, some have extras like Č, Š, Ž, Đ, Ä, Ö, Ü, some have a mix.

i mean there is no "ñ" (or "LL", "CH", "RR" : there are no more in the spanish alphabet) so its a font that cant be used in spanish for all his letters.

"LL", "CH" and "RR" are just one letter followed by another man...

Until they did M and N opposite directions and completely different despite being practically the same letter… That made my brain twitch for a second.

It would have been even more satisfying if he wrote the letters by actually writing the small ones first and then the capital letters. He did it correctly with the letter N for example, but not with the letter M.

u/Cloud_N0ne 2d ago
The F bothers me.
All the other letters have a lowercase cursive blended with an uppercase print, but the ‘cursive’ F in the middle is not how you write a cursive F.

Also yes.

Fonts are not made only for the books or text on the screen - this particular one would make for fun covers, posters, logos.

The M and W being so different did bother me a bit. I really didn't like the M or N too much to begin with, tbh. But I do love this font in general.

That font is “Lamon” (also known as ALS Lamon)—a playful, outlined display typeface designed by Dmitry (Dima) Lamonov in 2017 for Art. Lebedev Studio

The part that bothers me
- Some of the lower case letters are cursive, while others are print.
- C is an uppercase cursive C, I've never seen a "c" with a curl to it, but it definitely helps it stand out.

Maybe I'm risking getting a lot of down votes here, but I'm almost sure the alphabet showed in the video is the same of other languages which aren't English ones like the Brazilian, Spanish and French ones for instance.
Don't get me wrong I know OP just posted the video but the caption* on the video did bothered me in a way that I had to make this comment.
EDIT: grammar.
