when i say any, i mean ANY POSSIBLE LETTER COMBINATION!
Also Managed to finish more weights of advent. the previous version "Light" became "Extra Light"
and and the curent "Light" Version is a bit thicker. The same happened with "Bold"
So that makes 2 new weights for you. Also i made an "Oblique" (not italic, oblique) version.
That update gives almost the final shape for the advent font family.
the versions in this update:
Light
Light Extra
Bold
Bold Extra
Regular
Regular Oblique
Regular Rounded
(not publication dates, the dates appearing are generation dates)
well... atleast a lot of people will remember my birthday ;)

im pretty happy for the result and for the time spent on this project.
this is a 3 ... if i do remember correctly, month project.
started by designing by hand using rapitograph (architectural design pen)
traced and eddited with illustrator and finally refined in fontlab studio.
Process update:
well, the shape that advent is now is a 4 month work so far, really hard work.

usage notes.
first of all please respect this gift. Realize that i didnt have to do this..
and i could just sell this font.
this is clearly for personal work.
if a designed project containing this typeface will be sold
there MUST be a refferance to me.
(clearly personal projects are not neccessary to have a refferance to me)
"EXACT" words of refferance:
designer of "advent" font Andreas K. inde
