Hi there, this is a :iconprojectcomment: critique.

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, i know barely anything about typography, so you should probably take what i say with a pinch of salt. At first, i didn't realise what it was supposed to be. I thought it was just a box with arms and legs and then i realised it was a book. I think the idea is really original and i've not seen anything like it before, but maybe you could make the right side look more like pages? Although i do see that this will be difficult to even notice when the writing is small... just a suggestion though.

Secondly, i think that some of the letters should be moved down a pixel or two because they run into the top of the book making it harder to read. It's still possible, but it's harder. 

I think what i'd like to see - and you're obviously capable because your work is fantastic - would be every letter having the book in a slightly different pose with the arms and legs. It would add a little more character, i think.

Keep up the great work :D

Wonderful, this is wonderful, thank you!
Although I made another font and I called that one a test, this too is a test. This is not very original creative, the book guy is based on a mediocre sketch. But it fascinates me.
The reason why I chose this sketch is because it is simple and less complex is better for fonts.
I also used him for an animation, but in that one, there was more context.

But this comment is worth gold. I have new ideas for future fonts. More readable fonts. This one has been tested and it needs to be really big. Not good.
Poses. Moving arms and legs. Tasty idea. Mmhh. I'm hungry...Get in my belly!

:D I'm glad this comment was useful.

I like your other font, but it's not one I could type with :P it looks quite cool though!
