Youworkforthem T4016 When using Eye Doctor™, if you are setting an E or an e followed by an o (or other circular characters c, g, q and s), there is a special version of the e which can only be found in the ê (E and e-circumflex) character slots. In these versions, the ends of the upper and lower crossbars on the e have curved extensions rather than the square ones found on all the other versions of the e. These curved extensions replicate the way the double vision effect should actually look when the e is followed by any of the circular letters. Simply set the e-acute in place of the regular e, in such cases, and then block out the accent portion of the character. You can also do this for an F or an f followed by a circular character, by also blocking out the bottom part of the e. Although the results of your efforts will be subtle, it will really add an extra touch to your set type, especially if you are working at large point sizes.

To achieve the E and e-circumflex characters, Mac users type option-i and then the upper or the lowercase e. PC users type alt-0234 or alt-0202.

A-TRICKS
When the upper or lowercase V and W are followed by the letter a, you might find that replacing the a with the capital A will make the text look better. Even though we have made an optical adjustment and added kerning pairs, there appears to be extra space with these character combinations which is pleasingly filled by the sliver to the left of the capital A.

INTERESTING OVERLAY EFFECTS
You can create some interesting effects by using the Eye Doctor™ fonts in conjunction with the companion family Double Hitter™. The companion family is identical in terms of its kerning and spacing, but has all the slits removed. If you set some text in Double Vision™ and colour it 30% black (for example), you can then place a copy of the text directly on top, and colour it 100% black and change the font to Eye Doctor™. Using this technique you can completely control the contrast of the 'blur in relation to the body of the characters.

ABOUT IMPERFECTIONS
The imperfections in some of the Eye Doctor™ characters (such as uneven curves, rounded or chipped corners, off-axis angles, and slight baseline shifts) ARE all intentional. The objective of the font was not only to create the interesting double vision effect, but also to maintain a done by hand quality. If we had made the characters too even and consistant, a certain dynamic would have been lost.

COMPANION FACES
A version of Eye Doctor™ which has slits added is called Double Vision™.

FULL CHARACTER SET
Each font in the Eye Doctor™ family has a full character set of 232+ letterforms, with all characters designed in the style of the font.
