Periodically I try my hand at a text face. Some of the very good text faces are done by long-time professionals or by teams and take thousands of hours to complete. I have not done anything that challenges the quality of some of those faces, but it is still an interesting personal challenge to produce something that will work well as a text face.
Aabced evolved gradually as I reworked my first attempts to do a text face. (I would rather that these very first efforts be totally forgotten, as they were unbelievably bad.) It is quite condensed, but with fairly long ascenders and descenders. The name was chosen so it would be the first font on a font menu. Though it works, I think several later efforts are more attractive as text.
