Font Test
Chapter 5 continues with 2 more teaser panels. I’m also testing my very own font, based on my handwriting. Here are the uppercase letters. You can spot an alternative capital I if you look closely.
These 3 panels (with the previous one) summarize a bit simplistically but neatly Italian politics in the very early 1920’s, before big M’s infamous March on Rome. In spite of being a rebel state, Ginestra is just a miniature copy of Mamma Italia.
The font looks good! Some nitpicking: You should only use the “I” with serifs for the English pronoun “I”.
V`(oo)´V
I didn’t know there was a rule on that. I use it in the beginning of sentences.
I also have a special capital F for that purpose.
Yesh, such is ze rrrule … Albeit far too many people are unaware of it. I forgot to mention that it should of course also be used in Roman numbers.
A special capital ‘i’ with serifs in a sans serif typeface is a perversion wrought upon the unsuspecting world due to the word in the English language spelled as nothing but that one single letter.
The kerning on both sides of the ‘s’ is also a little bit wide, emphasizing its rather fascist shape …
It’s not fascist, it’s … folkloristic! :D
