The Sub/Conscious Meanderings of a Design Philandros

Daphne’s Almost Done

After a very long (and some­what rainy) day, my back is tired and my eyes can barely be kept open. Here’s the lat­est ver­sion of Daphne. I’m start­ing to lose track of all the glyphs, but I think it’s some­where around 650. Anyway, the end of the tun­nel is near. Enjoy.

    I am no typ­face expert, but I know what I like. I really like your treat­ment of the let­ters in my name. How’s that for vanity?

    Will Daphne become avail­able on the marketplace?

    Everybody’s due a lit­tle van­ity every once in a while. Glad you like it.

    As for avail­able on the mar­ket­place, that’s the plan, even if I end up sell­ing it inde­pen­dently rather than get­ting dis­tri­b­u­tion through an estab­lished foundry. Of course, I’ve still got lots of work to get it really polished.

    Great font. When and why did the name change?

    About a month ago, I decided that Marua was too dif­fi­cult to remem­ber and say. Plus my orig­i­nal idea of what “Marua” was sup­posed to be, didn’t really match with what actu­ally hap­pened. I sup­pose it’s like nam­ing a child, you have to see it before you can really decide if it’s a good name. Daphne seems to fit bet­ter and it’s more mar­ketable. Plus there’s a whole side of the name con­cep­tu­ally that I really like. Look up the story of Apollo and Daphne, it’s kinda cool.
