So this is supposed to be similar to Garamonds but be more durable for bad paper and printing, and also be more legible on screen. Supports Latin and Cyrillic. Italic is in progress, and also please ignore all diacritics.
Weights: Thin, Light, Regular, Semibold, Bold, and ExtraBold. Light, Semibold, and Bold are interpolations (3 masters).
(Granite is a working name and may not be final)

Speaking of cyrillics, /yeru-cy has a big gap between its two parts, /ze-cy and /e-cy need a serif. /El-cy is too narrow at the top in heavier weights. /be-cy is good in lighter weights, but needs a more complex ascender to survive emboldening. /em-cy could be a tiny bit wider in bolder weights. /de-cy and/ef-cy look surprisingly good.
thank you craig hrant and samuil so much! it's been very helpful.
Attached is a new proof, this time i put the information about it on the first page. Includes italic and roman diacritics. Hope you take a look
The bowl of /che-cy is too deep.
/de-cy is again surprisingly good, but its perceived slant is somewhat different from the rest of the letters. It's a pain to get right, but it needs to lean a bit more to the right. Usually a small adjustment of the tail is enough.
/she-cy and friends look good in medium and bold weights, but the final upswish of the pen looks forces and anemic in thin weights.
/softsign-cy looks like /hardsign-cy in bolder weights. The initial stroke grows too much when emboldened.
/yeru-cy has this gap again. Tighten it up just a little bit.
