e-ink Font: Goudy Bookletter 1911 modified

Quote:
"A few words on why I think Kennerley Oldstyle is beautiful: In making this font, I discovered that Kennerley fits together tightly and evenly with almost no kerning. Thus the following words from Monotype specimen books are just: “[W]hen composed into words the characters appear to lock into one another with a closeness common in early types, but not so often seen in later-day creations.” These are letters that take command of the space around them; notice, for instance, the bowed shapes of the v and w." (Quote from Schwartz.)

This is my preferred font on my Nook Simple Touch but is a bit too small. I have darkened the glyphs slightly and increased the size by 10%, 20%, and 30%, plus a bold of each.

My blog entry on this is available here.
