This is my first attempt at creating a typeface and want to get feedback on it from "those who know".
This is a 1920s-ish art deco font that was conceptualized and extended from Riesling. I have been attempting for years to find the legal owner of the font family to no avail. So I started a fresh and began modifications and extensions in a new project.
I am considering the possibility add a more readable weight for internet and digital usage, as the initial intent was for poster usage.
I have hesitated for years for fear. One that I will offend someone or raze the owner. The second reason was because of doing something I know to be rather monumental.
Helps if I supply a link.

Thanks for that bit of information. I have been researching this font for years looking for someone that holds the rights to it with no luck. This is the first I have heard of Aphrodite.
Been there, searched and searched with no luck; finally asked the right question in the right forum and got an answer within 24 hours.
