Quick review

[Rasiel Suarez]

I was impressed by the glyph count and the overall elegance. The Chi-Rho symbol in my opinion is the least accomplished with the X shape being too flattened and "splayed out". While the size of the glyph would become too tall if the x-shape appeared more normal the length of the crossbars could be shortened a bit to make its appearance more similar to how the symbol was used in antiquity. Other than that, this is excellent.

Can the font be used elsewhere?

Thanks, Ras (if I may) for your quick input.

At this stage, please use the font in any programs or projects where it would be useful. The greater the variety of software I get beta testers to use, the more I can provide finesse to the documentation (admittedly meager right now).

The one caveat I ask is that you not publish (digital or print) with the font until we are ready for a public release and we can nail down our terms of use. I am pretty certain that we are going to use a Creative Commons license, but the institution has not decided exactly what flavor. The manual currently has a CC-BY-SA brand, but that's only to prompt discussion.

Best wishes,
