So in the Black master spacing is tighter and serifs of diagonal letters V, W, Y (K, R, X) are merged.
That can be solved by the kerning, but that leaves even more space than needed. Do you keep letters touching or remedy this at the expense of odd spacing?
Ligatures can be effective but there would be a significant amount of them, which is currently not an option for me. I have two kinds of serifs that make the contact unnatural.
Comments
I am asking because in every typeface I have quickly tested they are separated. Which raised the question is my overall spacing good. Numbers say that Thin weight might be too tight. On the other side, such a wide typeface+generous space takes too much line space.
Thanks, maybe...I am kind of attached to it and it's seen in A, N, M, X, V, W, and Y. Maybe it's easier to add contextual alternates for 4 than to edit 7 letters. But I will consider your suggestion since it would work even for combinations I possibly overlook.
Thanks for your insights, they will help me to make a decision
