Raissa – a quirky extended grotesk

Jørgen Brynhildsvoll

Hi! My name is Jørgen, I'm an Oslo based editorial and graphic designer, and also new to this forum. I'm currently working on a wide display typeface. I want to play with the traits and features of extended and monospaced typefaces. Eventually, I want to draw a regular proportion grotesk based on the extended – rather than the opposite way – keeping some of these quirks.

I'd appreciate all feedback, whether it's the overall look or details like proportions that are off or other inconsistencies. The full glyph set is shown in the PDF attachment. Hope some of you will take the time to check it out!
