I think this may look better if you change the l/c L. it doesn't read very well and looks a little odd at the moment.

nice one! with remarkably complete character set, always love that... me parece que la gente que habla lenguas utilizando acentos hace al menos el doble de caracteres en promedio. ;) anyway, g, ß, &, $ are gorgeous! the $ looks pretty fromula-1 styled... :)
i agree with nippa on the lc L though, this needs some rework. (why not make it with a rounded angle and a way shorter whatever-the-typographic-term-for-the-horizontal-bar-is?) I also think that m and w are too wide, and that you could make the w's bottom-right angle just rounded too.
cheers!

wow! blessed with the coveted #CC157B dot!
Thanks for the feedback, djnippa & shasta.
I worked on the l issue and put shasta's advice to practice and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I also put the m and w on a diet, but maintained a little bit of their fatness. I think I made the w out of reflex, so on behalf of your request I gave another shot at it, but ended changing it a little bit more.

PS: yes! once you need Ñ and accents, you're screwed! Und ich spreche auch ein bißchen deutsch, so...

Thx, FK! You da king, you rule! :D so i'm flattered.
I just made a minor/mayor? change to the %
Before, it just used the circles I used for the Å (A with ring), but now it uses the same circle as in the degree glyph.
I just hope nobody hates me for it :P
These are the moments one wishes for those 4 bricks that would create a circle 2 bricks high&wide and half a brick in stroke width... sigh!
