Font Design-Conservative Simplicity

This font, which takes me about half a year to design, is finally finished, with a few imperfect details, but overall I feel satisfied about it. Since it was the first trial for me to build up a font, I didn't expect it to be perfect and versatile at the very beginning.

My basic idea is to design a font that mixes the classical serif fonts with the sans-serif ones, and then being represented in a merely contour-composed way. And that's why I named it "Conservative Simplicity". At first it was easy to design until the letters with some curves such as "O". After a few unsuccessful trials, at the end I got the inspiration from the light reflecting back from a camera lens.

The initial draft on paper include only bold capitalized letters. Afterwards I found it was probably too thick and hence difficult to utilize. Then I did some modification on the weight of the lines and developed a light version, though these two fonts still include only capitalized letters. To be honest, I didn't pay much time on adjusting the intervals between letters.

Since I'm a high school student currently, not so much spare time is left. I would update these font irregularly when I'm free.
