Elegant and joyful, very legible, beautiful counters and lines, bold counters that 'describe' a glyph: every aspect is stunning. The TP is well deserved. I love the quotation marks, they're epic ..............
@thalamic - A wonderfully ornate font. Congratulations on design! Have you considered shifting the lowercase solid glyphs behind/left of the vertical start line so they may "ovelap/overlay" when used with their uppercase brothers & sisters? For example, typing 'Gg' will display the 'G' character, but the 'g' then places the lc solid over the same 'G' character (sorry, can't explain very well, and I don't have access to image software at the moment). You may have had this in mind when designing it, but I'm not sure how to accomplish it without image software.
@Wataru Aiso: I attempted making them into rectangular shapes so the stained glass window effect could be better accomplished, but decided that the curved shapes were better.
@Aeolien: Thanks. The quotation marks were the result of the aesthetic of the font.
@Goatmeal: Thank you for the detailed explaination and taking the trouble to explain it visually. I thought of doing this but I wanted that the letters and their fills could be different colors therefore they would need to be typed on two layers so I kept them the same so multiple layers could line up automatically. But thank you for looking into the font so carefully.

It's a beautiful font like a church stained glass:)
Why are your lowercase I and T the same style as the capitals?
Fascinating.
A stylish, fine design reminiscent of Mondrian but working with rubber tubes ? The artist HEK made prints that remind me of your font. ;) ;) A deserved TP

@thalamic - Something like this combination: B + b = "Bb"
Thanks everyone. Appreciate the kind words.
