Quirinus Wip

Started working on a version of Quirinus designed by Alessandro Butti for Nebiolo in 1939. I found this specimen page http://on.fb.me/WmESBs showing a light version of the typeface which I've never seen before (there is a bold version released by Monotype).

The top one is our "final" decision for an -a- and the one on the bottom is the original design, which we do not like that much.

What do you think?
