Geia sou,
me lene Alessandro Segalini.
this is the 5g font, he :)
this 5g was a class at the art school in Piacenza, Italy.
after teaching some type design basics
I got the idea for a memento font so I chose the tool...
1.8 mm
ABC?

Comments:
Cristina Martini, teacher. N d t 7 * Eclecticism is dominat, each letter and number fundamentally has a proper life and personality but, extraordinarily, their continuously alternating difference makes them nevertheless in harmony. It would be something like to line up many people of different races but dressed up all the same way, with the same physique and the same hair style. There is something that unites those signs. If I had to define this font with a single adjective, I d say that is a wriggling character.
Marcantonio Viali, student. P f v 9 What can I say? Being us very different persons and too often in contrast with each other, the final result is fiercely homogeneous... May be that we are more similar than what we thought? And that digging in the dark we will find a cranky sense of similarity of ideas which bounds us!?? This font could be a sparkle in the dark around which we can create a light... How I am poetic, eh?
Noemi Rivetti, student. l b r 5 # I found it very like to create a font of our class with our handwriting!!! It is a nice memory that few people can have, maybe more nice than a simple class photo...
Bill Troop. 5g looks charming. I particularly like that the density in the caps is so uneven. This is something few people would dare to do. On the other hand, some of this could be the rasterization, which is always amazingly defective at screen resolutions.
Giovanni Lussu. I don t think of that as a font at all. We could maybe argue some observations about the didactics of the writing (if it is funny and useful to introduce in that way certain questions, etc.). But as a font, I can t really say nothing.
Konstancja Satalecka. I like your font very much, my mother too. She used it in some christmans cards for an avangarde theatre from Katowice (Poland).
Luc Devroye. Yes, I see, different letters made by different people. Must have been hard to coordinate all that. The effect is random, a font written by a schizophrenic person, or a group of normal persons. Interesting.
Luciano Perondi. Definitely schizoid! I am happy that the most earnest psychiatric pathology get its space they deserve in graphic design education.
Masha Sumnina. It is great really! The people s handwritting should tell about their psichology - can you read behind the letters? And how you explain to students that to do - I mean how so many people can make one handwriting font which is look like one face?
Tapio Vapaasalo. Your project is very interesting. I could imagine that it could also inspire some student in Art Education department, those in the sixth floor here at TaiK. You know, the Taidekasvatuksen osasto. It is a case you showed to be possible to create and teach when knowing enough of fonts, right programs etc.
Thierry Arsaut. Most of uppercases have a too strong weight. The horizontal bar of the A seems to be a little bit too large in order to be used with lowercases into a handwriting-like text. Other shapes are good to me. More over, this font is a good example of what should be a handwriting-like font for computers.
Vera Khlebnikova. Font is remarkable! Perfectly! Sure all the students appreciate it and want to use it. Yes, a font is beautiful! I like, that it had such colour, pure quality of white and black.
