Please do the following when requesting a critique:
• Link to an image in your post, but keep the image under 700 pixels wide. Use whatever image hosting service you like or just throw the file on your web server.
• Link to a PDF proof of your design that shows the characters you have drawn at a large size, as well as examples of type set at sizes relevant to the intended use of the design. You can host a PDF on Dropbox or just throw the file on your web server.
• Introduce yourself so people know what kind of experience you have.
• Describe your typeface: intended use, historical references, etc.

It’s always nice to have another set of eyes look at something and you can always disregard the advice of others. I think that it’s important to look at the people who are critiquing your work: what is the quality of their work? Are you listening to them because they are the only ones offering advice or because you actually value their skills?
