Combines curves, faux-curves, and triangle-brick edges. The title doesn't describe the typeface; it describes a possible application of it. Don't bother asking.

A very distinctive design - with a few points that I think could improve it a wee bit. C and S look a bit small, whilst M, R and W look a bit large.

Thanks. I've been adjusting C and S--particularly S--but although I realise that M and W are much wider than the other letters, I don't think I'll make them much smaller because for one that would be quite difficult and secondly that would probably mean I would have to break the fact that they're double-lambda and double-V. R and K are the same width, so it's funny you should mention it. This obviously means there are problems with R: most likely there is too much weight on the top right. This may lead to a redesign of letters like B.

C and S look so much better :)

Somehow this has a 'metal' feel to it, solid but the serifs make it elegant.

Nice. Any plans to complete the lower case, numerals and punctuation?

Comment by Rob Meek (meek) 13th april 2016

I'm with the people and the boss: complete it, please.

Thanks guys, I was working on this yesterday but when I refreshed the page it deleted a lot of my work so I decided to leave it a while. At the moment I'm just going round all my best fonts trying to improve/complete them, so I'll probably get back to this soon.
