Monday Morning Revival Check-in

I end up working on my Cooper Type work later at night, more often than not, because my days are occupied with juggling other commitments. It’s an interesting way to work because I have more clarity in the mornings, but I can churn through things faster at night. So Monday mornings, I check in to see how (what) I did during the witching hour.

Some screenshots of some metrics windows:

I’ve got some weight inconsistencies going on (the x is particularly difficult.) I’m finding that one of the primary questions I return to over and over in this project is, how much do I remain faithful to the specimen and how much do I try to balance/tame some of the weirdness for a better overall typeface?

I’m closer to getting the spacing both accurate and faithful to the revival.

There are 4 different Ms in the specimen samples I’ve collected, so I’ve done one alternate for now. There are some other characters I may create alternates for as well, but I’ll go back once I’m caught up with the other deliverables.
