It is an exercise, something quick and simple.

Excellent! Who else here is still pining for a toggle button to turn on/off the 1 px stroke that appears on fontstruct preview samples above a certain size? I find it to be unfortunately deceptive. It improves certain designs in a way they simply cannot mimic out of the box, while others have their previews hobbled by it. I know the decision itself was a compromise to deal with the hairline gaps that would otherwise sometimes appear between abutting bricks scaled to certain sizes in the preview windows. And I know this issue is somewhere on the roadmap...I will simply dream both that font mortar becomes a display subroutine (possibly requiring a gigantic cache file, I know) and that this “fattening up of the fragile details with an outline stroke” becomes a definable aspect of the font mortar pipeline. A new filter, in fontstruct parlance. Again, it’s probably already under consideration, but what a boundary-expanding (and perhaps also cutting edge?) feature that will be? Pardon the puns ;) And great font, Frodo. This one deserves an extended character set for multi-lingual support. I’ve been wondering if a similar treatment would yield good results for Haldir. Not as straight-forward, but could be cool!

Oh, sorry for the unintentional italic attack :/

...and let me close it properly. That should do it.

No. Sorry Frodo, you can hide all these, if you want, and I will repost the first comment. :)

@will.i.ૐ: thank you for your comment(s). Don't bother to post it again. I like Italics. I provided the demo samples because the preview sometimes not faithful enough. Yes, I thought about the extended character set, and perhaps a limited extension for Haldir.

Very, very accomplished, Frodo. The large block of text setting shows just how good it is. What a miraculous evenness of tone for such a large grid.

Excellent work, I dig the J and K.

Minimal design maybe ... but maximum effect. A really satisfying font.

Simple and strong. Reminds me a bit of Cholla Slab.

@gferreira: Cholla Slab? Well, that's a compliment. Thank you for the special mention. (Sorry for the Italic. It's a software glitch.)

intaglio, igorrossi, p2pnut: Thank you very much for your feedback. I think, I have to take this font more seriously and complete the full Latin set.

The character set has been extended.
