Details

Description:
A bold & funky font with inside lines.
Based on a 1.78 filter so the rounded corner squares would fit with the quarter circles. Diagonals end up narrowing the inside lines, so I tried to used them as less as possible.
Accents designed in case they are absolutely necessary; suggestions are welcome on how to improve them.

17.08.09 Modified j and added an alternative j instead of ® and also a special dj ligature instead of ©. Question marks redesigned.

wow. this is a smooth groove. and has a very organic feel -even more impressive in light of the different filter setting. and looks very versatile as well. nice sample and quote. you and willie rock :)

Thx guys! you rock, otherwise this font would have never popped out of my mind:
When I first started here I just did pixelfonts I could use in my flash projects, but then looking (staring) at the FSions created by you guys & the rest of the FS crew made me explore the possibilities a little bit more: brick stacking, filtering, even sample creation with good quotes (O_- Magic Sam).
The hardest part is to keep up with funk_king´s production ratio :D
@thal thx for the accent support: it is the only way (so far) I can get away with them, so I´m glad you like them.

On using the font, the 'j' doesn't work so well for me. I think it may be better below the line like the 'g'. Any chance of a alternative?

Geez TP! Muito obrigado, Don Ferreira.
@jmarquez i'm stoked you like it that freaking much :)
@p2pnut thx for the vote of confidence
and last but not least @djnippa:
You know? I wasn't quite pleased with the j, so I took your advice and made one that goes below the line and put the older one where the ® should be (& I also upped the tail to match x-height) and as a special feature I added a dj ligature inspired by you, of course :)
it is placed instead of the ©
hope you like them!

Wow! such a long time since I've last played in this backyard.
Thank you, Four, for reminding me to spend some time around here.
