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.

  • O Octavio wants to keep the old.
  • C: Octavio wants to make slight adjustments to the New/Old.
  • G: Octavio wants to keep the G in ExtraLight but make slight adjustments to the New/Old in Regular.
    Note: All the above needs to be reviewed and decided as a group, including Q
  • R: Octavio wants to keep the new. Agree.
  • F is slightly narrower now
  • Kerning will need a final revision (e.g. compare RO in provide between masters)

  • S: Needs to be defined (different concepts between masters from Octavio)
  • N: Octavio opts to keep the old. I would suggest slight adjustments of the New/Old. The new N width looks more consistent with the system.

  • Z: Octavio opts to keep the old. I suggest slight adjustments to the New/Old. The new Z weight distribution looks better
  • Ə: Octavio opts to keep the new. Agreed.
  • A counter is more open now
  • Overall spacing needs to be balanced out
