In reply to Another first: Yet-to-name geometric sans-serif project.:
I tried 10 units for overshoot but it seemed a bit much. On screen the bottoms seemed to jump on the baseline instead of being balanced. I'll have to test it when I have access to my laser printer again.
And I'll second that the weights are a bit too close. I would have used maximum four weights for this range, and maybe just three.
Well, I'd see the lighter four weights as useable for body text and the fifth one as an addition for headlines. I think about darkening the Book weight a tiny bit and call the Regular a Semibold.
As an aside, HAS there been a typeface named handgloves yet? Maybe that is the perfect name. ;)
There is one on Fontstruct. Does that count? ;)
Thanks to all for your suggestions. I'll have an open ear for any further comments on the typeface.
