Hi @octaviopardo, Based on the PDF review of the most crucial glyph changes, I've created some comparison GIFs in which the before and after were superimposed to perceive better and evaluate the changes.

PDF source: letras en contexto.pdf

While doing this exercise, some other glyph changes become evident, so it's good to review them all at once in context.

  • f keeping the new design
  • c and e: Octavio opts to make slight adjustments to the New/Old c, e in lighter weights but keeping the new in the black (agree)
  • n, m, h: Please check the joins, look smoother in the old
  • g relieved lower opening looks better
  • y counter relieved
  • z color distribution improved
  • k strokes weight distribution improved
