So far this has stayed fairly faithful to the concept of creating each glyph within a square (obviously not in the case of characters such as i, l or l). However, this attempt at conformity does leave M, W, m, w looking rather narrow and results in a set that I suspect is a bit aesthetcally challenged. Should I forsake the square and go for a more balanced look with those troublesome glyphs>

This is so classic and yet so fresh. Beautiful work, P2pnut. On behalf of your troublesome glyphs: I would leave the M and W as they are, but change the w and m width to match the UC´s, since you don´t really have to force them into monospace and considering other glyphs variable width like the i or f. But you still get a tenner from me.

w and m changed ... and, while I was at it, a compromise W + 1/2 square width.

The new m, w, and W are all very good and fit in much better. Good job.

This is very elegant. :-) Which is why I feel as though I should offer my ¢0.02. While raising the power of each letter to 2 is admirable, but because you also sometimes discount it for certain glyphs, in the interest of the paying greater dividends to the shareholders, perhaps you could consider widening the M as well too. (I'll bet you couldn't guess that I just got up from doing a Finance assignment, could you? ;)

@thal: Finance,Economics, Budgets, Statistics ... all come from the Devil's backside as far as I am concerned. You have my every sympathy. The M was one that I was uncertain about and you have helped me make my mind up. Now widened by 1/4 square (1/2 was just too much).

A few alterations - and a couple of additions. I had completely missed several glyphs! The m, n, p and r have had their 'tails' docked so that they match the rest ... not sure what you call these small ascenders and descenders.

All has been said of this absolute masterpiece of yours, so clean, so elegant, so techno but with restraint... I would just have the same minuscule request I have in front of beautiful textfonts with already many many characters : Could you add the e-in-the-o and the E-in-the-O so that I could perfectly write in french ? Thanks in advance.

Hello. I used this font on a 3D model texture I made. If you would like for me to remove your font I used from my work (which I have given you full credit for), please let me know and I will do so. http://autonomous-ink.deviantart.com/art/The-Aperture-Science-SPD-215028515

Err, gramatical error... made it sound as if it were my work that I said I have given you credit for... I'm a bit sleepy at this moment, can you tell? You know what I meant to type. :P
