This is an early-stage interest check for the Neo City Red keycap set. Do you like this style? PBT with a mix of dyesub and multi-color front-print legends. Illustrated with SP colors RBD (red), BFE (blue), YAF (yellow), VCE (green), and NQ (black), and DSA profile. Fonts are Orbitron (letters, arrows) and Roboto Mono (everything else). If there is sufficient interest, I would want this to run through MD, PMK, and/or other established shop, as I don't want to manage GB money or logistics.

Nice colors. I want them :D

Why are the legends on certain caps shown in multiple?

Because I think it looks better that way. Makes the visual "weight" of those keys closer to the letter keys, so they all form a more uniform group, while at the same time being visually distinct.

I am interested but I don't like the legends for the num keys and punctuation.
Any chance for black /| and `~ keys?

Do you mean, for example, black keys with blue front-print \| and `~? Or legends on top (dyesub black on dark grey?), which wouldn't match any other keys?
Regarding the num keys and punctuation -- how boring :) If there's enough interest, though, single legends could be an option.

I actually think the multi legends look quite interesting, though I can imagine it'll be a pretty divisive opinion...

Yeah, I mean front printed like the modifiers.
Having two symbols on top and bottom of a key wouldn't look bad but the way that they currently are is unappealing to me. :-X

Too busy for me. Multiple legends on some keys, front printed on others, and then traditional on the rest.

I like this red & black keyset set up. The main thing that I like about it about this set is it's visually loud!

I have to agree. That said, I love the font and the black and red colors used on this. If the legends were all uniform and it were all in the black and red, it would be my dream set.
