OUGD601: Practical - Collaboration - Franziska's Additional Changes

Just like Jan, I also met Franziska while in Slovenia. I was also impressed by her work, and wanted her to contribute some work. The diagonal characters were still needed, so I approached her to help out with these. 

Franziska is from Austria, so now I will have contributors from both Czech and Austria. 


                                                                                                                                                                        

Logged Changes: 


hey joe. I did V, W and Y, I’m sorry I can’t do more. The V and W are quite thin where the stem and the hairline join (I took the form from A). Maybe you could try to thicken these parts a bit on A, V and W?
There are some small things I noticed on E, F and H. On the E the arm should be a bit shorter than the lower part. The crossbar on these three letters should also be lower I think, on the F it should be even lower than on the E because of the whitespace (I added a new layer on E, F and H and named it Franziska so you can see what I mean).
I wish you all the best for your project and hope to see the results soon. Greets, Franzi

                                                                                                                                                                        

Usage: 

Here are examples shown with the characters Franziska added. 

VWY:





I can see what Franziska means about where the stem and hairline join on these diagonal characters. I plan on correcting this later in the project, when all the characters are in place. 

EHF:





As you can see in the above examples, Franziska has offered different options for the E, H and F central crossbars. Although these increase readability and overall fluency of the characters, they also take away the characteristics of the original inscriptions. I've decided to include both options, using Franziska's options as alternate characters.
