Hmmm tricky I can only see the different spacing on the lines beginning “opening bazaars…” Will keep on looking.
Well, you’re on the right lines Fred….by the way, what do you think of Deva?
Deva – DEceptive Vintage Appearance –
On first look I thought “that’s very modern looking”, then a closer look revealed those litle touches I like. The ligatures, swashes, the angled bar on the lowecase e. Overall a pleasing usable face IMHO.
OK I give up !
Fred, All the metrics were re-worked,including a careful hand kerning of te whole face. A couple of outlines were also tweaked. Hope you haven’t spent too long trying to track the differences down
Ahhh … I was close
Not too long Paul, have been busy working on a font revival of my own, a font I saw in a music magazine from the 1930′s, which I have been unable to trace.
I shall be interested to see it Fred, when it’s ready for a public outing…
