Ideal for colouring in so it's a great 'tool' for letter work in playgroup and primary school with the added benefit of introducing the idea of serifs which links into historical lettering systems.

When making AE and OE, you forgot to remove any overlaps...
xBox, I didn't. But I'll ask a playgroup teacher if overlaps make it hard or easy to teach (and for kids to remember) how to make these strange letters. The overlaps were complicated to add as they're part of how eyes see and survey letters.
Thought about superscripts and subscripts for science, math, etc.
Or { and } for lists
xBox, no, I don't think of that here. No developmental psychologist will demand that a kid aged 2 - 8 years applies that kind of glyph. Your school made you to write and use them before you were 8? '.'
Are all your letters below or at 48 bricks height?
does arial have a spur or tail on eth??
Aside from J (that's me being picky, because I prefer the original J [ya], which descends, as it is an I with a tail), I love this.
@xXx Xbox Gamer, I'm not going to strictly police the 48 bricks height thing. It’s an arbritrary guideline to try and stop people from getting over-ambitious and creating things that won’t save or download. – that’s the original thinking behind the “rule”. If someone wins the competition with, for example, 52 brick-high glyphs, so be it.
@meek Have you thought of more unicode sets??
The Quadratic Formula
TCWhite: thank you:) a descending alternate J is on ¤. xBox: UC are 48px high.
Did you make the C upside-down or was that intentional?
@xXx XBox Gamer - Is it "upside-down" ? It looks consistent with the design of the other glyphs where there is a thin serif on top and a thicker serif on the bottom...
xBox, the C isn't upside-down. It's like Goatmeal explained: narrow upright serifs as part of the UC bases are always taller than at the top line. BTW, your sampler looks intriguing :)
The 7 of ignorance, cowardice, vindictiveness? Now explain the 7 and help me remove errors. I made this for a special group and they, not you, decide what they need. Your duty is to respect that and them.
Wha??
Lou? A 7 isn't constructive without explaining problems in need of change. If 7 = "uninteresting": pardon? We mightn't grasp fonts' style and reason, but accept those who wanted it; do let's explain/assess font qualities.
Adjusted the overlap on Œ, the new design shows more clearly its construction when handwriting. Also changed some kerning.
