Tuffy might be done now. I'm pretty satisfied with the letters. The numbers and punctuation are a little weaker, but usable. Making Tuffy turned into a bit of a rathole. For one thing, I discovered that making a font that hangs together is very hard. There are too many letters with too many shapes! For another thing, a generic sans font is especially hard because with something so simple, the eye is very sensitive to any imperfections. It was great for learning FontForge, and practicing Bezier curve editing though. Artistically, I don't think Tuffy is very interesting. It's really just a mish-mash of things I like from other innocuous fonts, without any overarching message or mood or visual hook behind it. On the other hand, to the extent it's generic, that's exactly what I was going for. I wanted to create something vanilla, but totally unencumbered by copyright, to be both useful in its own right, and to serve as a base for myself and others
