I recently saw a type face with bits missing and thought "Looks interesting, can I do something with this idea?". I used one of my older sans designs but soon discovered that I needed serifs to get logic to the gaps ;) So I started work on a good serif design to use as the base. Here is my interpretation of what I saw, it looks rather different from the one that inspired me.

You should expand this set to the fullest. like more alt. glyphs, greek, russian, japanese, etc.
@ brynda: I know you like to see glyphs for foreign languages and writing systems. Romaeo Intuition is a fun design not for long texts. I can't see it used in Greece, Japan, India, the Balkans etc etc. I will add French and German diacritics soon. My limit is Greek and Cyrillic; although I'm not familiar with the languages their countries are close enough to the EU to have some interest in Latin based fonts and I want to make the occasional font of my more unusual/display ones available to them.
I have extended one of my fonts for Hebrew text because it looked suitable and from an aesthetic view point it worked really well. But I doubt that anybody outside the western EU countries would use them so I don't add too many glyphs for foreign languages and I don't allow any distributor. I don't usually go further than 'More Latin' and some important glyphs in 'Latin XT A', 'Lt.XT B' and 'Lt.XT C' when required by family and friends, usually when I have the time and no other font ideas to work out.
I assume you didn't like Romaeo Intuition? What aspect attracted you to look at it?
Upper case only, numbers, essential punctuation. Now with 'More Latin' UC plus a few more symbols.
alt letters with other side missing a bit
@ Bryndan: I don't understand what you mean, I'm a bit puzzled (°.°) Please explain
A with the top right, L with the top left, E with the bottom left, etc. missing
Love it, W a bit hard to read.
@ Davykins: thank you for your comment :) I've added a few pixels' height to the arm and narrowed the 'gap' to make the W more obvious.
