Working on a teaser page for my new app. With all the straight lines, the "Notefile" text looked really blurry no matter what I did with it. I ended up manually tweaking it in the end. I think I'm happy enough with it, but I'm worried it's actually too sharp now. Opinions? Did I ruin Futura?
Next step: create some screenshots I don't mind sharing with the world.
Yeah, it's tricky. I sharpened it up as much as I could… If I pushed it any further it started to look jagged. I'll try messing with it a bit more though.
Thanks guys! I was reluctant to mess with the type even more—I kept it as close as possible while I was cleaning up the lines. But I tried making the T, E, F, and L a bit wider, tweaked the kerning, and I think I'm happy with it: http://notefileapp.com I also sharpened up the O just a little bit more.
Feedback still welcome, I'm going to let it sit for a day or two before I make an official announcement.

I like the crispness, I'm just worried the "O" isn't crisp enough.

something about the kerning across the whole word doesnt feel right. NOT looks really wide and the rest looks really tight

The N and the O look really wide compared to the rest of the lettering, maybe elongate the "E" and "F" characters?
