HAPPY 5767!

A while back, the dude at ChaiSpace asked me to design a font for him that would be for use by MySpace users & all over the net. So I rose to the occasion - an honour is, after all, an honour. Here's the first half (in rough):
& here's the second (again, it's rough - a few imperfections here & there):
I call it "Qeset Ha-Soferet", which means Inkwell of the Soferet. I've named it after my fave volume of Sofrut Halakhah (scribal laws).
...& this is what it looks like as a ChaiSpace greeting:
Shiny, isn't it?
It also comes in gold without the glitter, here.
It's been such a thrill to get comments & e-mails at my MySpace page wishing me a good & sweet & blessed New Year in my own font!
YAY!
Much gratitude to Brian (& G@D) at ChaiSpace for his idea & hard work, & for letting me know about all the positive feedback Qeset Ha-Soferet has garnered.

That's a beautiful font (and I saw it first used elsewhere, not knowing you'd designed it).
In your photos, I found it momentarily disconcerting to have the letters be in alphabetical order from left to right, though.
Hey, congrats on your very own font! :) Actually, I like the glitter. Kind of makes the dove's wings look like they're fluttering...
Yasher koach!
Very cool, Avielah! Congratulations!

Hi, Magid - really? You saw my font somewhere other than this blog & Myspace? Where?
What can I say about the letter order? - they're drawings. Besides, the first 4 languages I learned as a kid (English, French, Latin & Norwegian, in that order) use the left-to-right moving latin alphabet. Well, not all Norwegian characters are Latin, but you get my drift.
Thanks, Alissa! Nice thought about the dove wings, too :D

Thanks, Talmida :)

Yeah, pretty cool, eh?
It's nice to finally see one of my font designs published (I've designed a few before, all copyrighted, including the one at the bottom of this shot - it's called "Navi").
