Thanks Ian:
I just created co-created Terminal Dosis, a very light, slightly rounded font, and this post was o much help for fine-tunning the original design by Edgar Tolentino.

Great post Ian. With all of the different fonts available these days it’s important we as designers have the basic understanding of rules and techniques that are crucial when creating and picking a typeface. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Sigh. If only I had known these basic concepts on geometric fonts before, perhaps some of my type design disasters could have been avoided… The horror. Live and learn I suppose. Thanks for sharing these techniques, they can be very, very crucial.

Great article. All harks back to the Bauhaus days of typography and introducing order and grid systems into design! Ahhh…. at least all those rather tedious design history lessons I endured haven’t gone to waste! Thanks a lot for posting

A very nice Post:-)

How do you add unique decoration to a geometric font that enhances letterforms?
