Awesome. I love the B and G. I think the H needs some work; it's a little hard to read for my eye.

Nice fusion of sans and blackletter.
Highly reminds me something.
Just can remember right away.
What was your inspiration?

@ anTyp this one was inspired by my other font South Central Swiss, i wanted to try applying the modular ornamentation and forms again but create something much closer to old english glyphs. i referred to lots of old english script fonts (i never would have done the UC 'h' that way otherwise) but subverted each glyph according to the same modular approach.

A great fusion font. I tend to agree with aphoria about the H.

The masthead of the Daily Telegraph is great - shame about the paper's content ;-)

Very nice. I really like this.

Only things I'd suggest changing are the uppercase S, and Z, which both seem a little weak compared to all the other uppercase letters (not to mention that the UC S looks a bit like a $). What about making the thin decorative lines horizontal along the tops and bottoms? Or maybe keep them vertical but break the top and bottom by pushing the decorative lines into their respective apertures?

Oh and of course numbers and basic punctuation would be nice.
