A little late…My (still incomplete) sans serif face Silverback won first place at the Punchcutters Exhibition held in late November. Co-sponsored by the Society of Typographic Arts and the Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago, the exhibition pulled in around a dozen submissions. Rick Valicenti and Linda Blackwell judged.
Needless to say I am quite pleased. Who doesn’t love external validation.

For my font the uppercase, lowercase, numbers and punctuation are nearly complete. Working on international characters and ordinals. I’ve also started kerning and some of the Type 1 hinting.
