When looking at your achievements so far — which of your fonts are you happiest with?
I like almost all of them, although I have recurring doubts about my earliest releases and would perhaps prefer to take them out of the program — which takes us back to the subject of premature releases.
Of course, I am currently proudest of my latest child, Christel (named after my grandmother) because I think it is currently my most accomplished type family.
