Silverback-Bolder weight coming along

Work on the Heavy/ Extra Bold weight of Silverback  is progressing nicely (if not frantically).  First pass at the Glyphs is done, with a ton of tweaks ahead.  No spacing or kerning  is really done yet, but that will come in time.  This weight along with the regular will be used to interpolate the rest of the family.  I am also curious to try Tim Ahren’s Font ReMix Tools to develop the condensed and expanded weights. Hopefully I can get far enough along to make the submission deadline for FontFont’s spring meeting.

New Font Sketches

Here are some of the various sketches for the new font. The idea is for a humanist that isn’t as neutral as Univers or Frutiger; but not as expressive/quirky as Meta and Syntax.
