Hey guys, I've been watching the forum for a while, but haven't had a chance to speak up. I am working on a project for a typography class, and we need to create our own font. I've created something i'm pretty happy with... not too flashy, pretty consistent... Anyways, the professor says he thinks he has seen a font like this before... SO, this is a font I created from scratch, but I'm asking all of you if you have any examples of something very close to this:

ALSO, the project isn't due for a week or so, and I would love feedback. I have yet to do the lowercase version as well as the numbers and symbols.. So, anything I should change for the better? Any awesome font ideas? Thanks!

i would make the I similar to the T. its the only one that strikes me as being different because is doesnt have any of the thin lines
other than that it looks pretty cool

I like the I - I think it's cute.

Nice job! I like it :)
but as anger mentioned ... try to get the I and T a little more similar ;)

Right, well both Buda and Kitty have now posted and not mentioned any similar looking fonts. I guess that makes it official - your professor must have been imagining it! If there were a similar font out there, at least one of those two would know about it.

Doesn't look like something I've seen either.

The only one that comes to mind for me is Broadway... but its no where near close enough to be mistaken for it. ;)

I was kinda thinking a severely altered Broadway, but it is quite different. Your professor probably saw a random freeware font somewhere that's more similar.
My only suggestion aside from the I/T thing already mentioned, is to give them both plus the K a thicker 'spine' like the other letters have - that thinnner spine kinda makes them not entirely feel like part of the same font. The broken line on the left of the D is kinda confusing me too. If it wasn't in the context of the alphabet, I wouldn't know what letter it was. Otherwise, a pretty cool font!

Cool, alright. Thats good it's fairly unique. I'm working with the I, T, and K right now, as well as lowercase, numbers and symbols. Thanks!
Looks like a good attempt at something very unique! I don't know of anything close. I might even call this "original" work!
I have trouble with the D and the H. I am not sure if I saw them out of context that I would know what letters they were. I think a little tweaking will help. Also very curious about your X, Y, and Z...Numbers and punctuation...Are they also required?
Keep going...
