Whatacolour font

Extended information

I generally prefer simple fonts with as few points as it's possible but this time I decided to create a font emulating shades of grey and it requires a lot of points.

Creating the original design with a brush, watercolours and paper was rather fast and easy but then I spend more than a month experimenting with different approaches and programs to get the best result. In the end I wrote my own converting tool and after a lot of manual tweaking I finally end up with a font that's under 1 MB.

It's still rather big and slow but it's much better than my previous prototypes. =)

[ �esk� popis ]

V�t�inou se ve sv�ch fontech sna��m po�et ��dic�ch bod� omezit na nutn� minimum,
ale tentokr�t jsem se rozhodl ud�lat font, kter� by rastrov�n�m emuloval odst�ny �edi a to vy�aduje
skute�n�ho hodn� bod�.
Vytvo�en� prvotn�ho n�vrhu pomoc� �t�tce a vodov�ch barev bylo pom�rn� rychl� a snadn�,
ale pak jsem v�ce nez m�s�c str�vil experimentov�n�m s r�zn�mi p��stupy a programy,
abych se dopracoval skute�n� nejlep��mu v�sledku. Nakonec jsem si napsal vlastn� konverzn�
utilitu a po dal��ch ru�n�ch �prav�ch jsem se kone�n� dobral fontu, kter� m� m�n� ne� 1 MB.
Je to st�le pom�rn� hodn� a font se tak pomalu vykresluje, ale proti p�edchoz�m prototyp�m je to znateln� vylep�en�. =)
