I like it very much! Must have been a lot of work. Maybe you could add a UC which looks the same but without the amplifyer on top? And PLEASE add a few more characters to your typefaces. With only 29 letters it´s not really usable...

I have to agree with Magic Sam. Your work is absolutely fantastic, innovative, imaginative and frequently inspired. You are one of the most creative people on FS. Yet, so often it remains a pleasing/humorous/interesting oddity. A small, perfectly formed work of art - yet not a font in the sense that it is a useable set. Perhaps we will just have to get used to this ... but it seems such a shame. Hope you don't take offence at this comment ... it is ment in a supportive way and comes from a good place.

OMG! Where to start? I knew you were the man for the job, Funk King. Incredible. 10/10 isn't high enough. "This one goes to 11." "It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black."

Don't you love how inspiration flows though FSors? FK your imagination for new fonts is only exceeded by your good sense of humor. I take forever to develop one & you publish six on a row. Yeah! Keep them flowing!!!

thanks fellas :) @ magic_sam - yes, i know. i'm still a bad boy :( @ p2pnut - thanks for the observations. no offense taken. i would agree somewhat. i feel many of my fonts are eye candy and would probably not be practical to use. but you never know. i've never really analyzed my process or objectives in detail, but once the basic set is pretty much done - i let it go. that way, i can put it out of my head and proceed with the next. but i think perhaps in the future i will revisit and build out the character sets to more of my fonts. thanks for the encouragement. @afrojet - much appreciation. when you first shared it with me. i didn't know if or when i would do it or how. i guess you never know when once a seed is planted, when it will sprout. but thanks again, it was fun :) @cayo - thanks, dude. yes, it's a beautiful thing - the FS flow :) i wonder if we could do a six degrees of separation for the fonts here at FS to see who or what inspired them. it probably would be quite interesting. alas, i shall probably keep the fonts flowing as much as i can. sometimes i think it probably would be better not to release so aggressively, but i have a fear of font constipation (fontstipation?) - although i'm sure many would say it's the exact opposite :)

It works so well. As DJNippa would say, "I would love to see a stripped down version to make it more universal in use."
