I'm a fan of the light variant. Screams 'science' and 'space shuttles' to me. XD Hope this is actually possible with the edge-to-edge colors.

same, light version is more space agency like.
also, the edge-to-edge is defo possible with SPs dye-sub process (see the dsa gc numpad) ;)

Damn, I didn't see the hiragana set until now. As much as it's not a "traditional" font, I would love to see more design variety in Japanese sets. The font matches the English set's feel very well.

I really appreciate all the love for the set, folks, I am glad you're checking in regularly!

As for progress, I am still in the trenches IRL. I wasn't able to make any progress since the last post.

Be assured, though, that this is definitely going to happen, one way or the other! :)

This may be the only keyset where I prefer the light variant. I'd definitely love to have something like this in the office.

No rush with the design, real life should always come first.

Subscribed to thread, very interested. I usually keep at least one of my boards in Semiotic Standard, and this'd be the perfect counterpart for my sim cockpit's board.

No progress on novelties (which I consider blocking on a wider IC), unfortunately.

In the meantime, tried to see if I can find a similar font for a Hiragana alphas kit:

I doubt that natives would approve of that choice :P would probably go for a more traditional font

This looks like the console of the flagship of the japanese star trek spinoff I didn't know I wanted!

I like this set, I just came across this post & love this set. Even though I am a 40% user, I still hope this set may offer a 40s kit, please.

Not only do I like the look of this set, but it also offers a good selection of sub kits.  Hoping this project comes down the pipe at some point.

Sploosh. Love it in white. I also really dig the third colorful novelty mods but I would love to see some novelties that don’t have mod legends. Maybe some inspiration from the Nostromo?

 And now I’m cracking up that Alien had “yoni” and “agaric fly” as button legends.

It does :/
Did some work cleaning up the blender files, adding accent key sources, and a few novelty ideas. New IC is planned but no date yet.

I prefer the light version. I do like the accents, but I think you should be careful to not make it look too busy. For uniform profile, I'd prefer XDA over DSA, however.

Mini update.
I got a few samples from SP!



I tried several contrast settings and confirmed that my original setting in the artwork is not dark enough. Here is a comparison with some other sets I had at hand:



I think the white on the second to last "Q" is spot on. On they grey one, I am not sure yet. Also, the color accents definitly require more contrast and likely a different base color.

I really like where this is going, though. I will revise some of the artwork.

Good to see this making progress.  I agree with all of your assessments of colors and contrast.
