An interesting result, especially the Uppercase which works so well in the sample. I'm not quite so sure about the lowercase.

Yes, the lower case is sucking big time right now. originally, I was thinking of the lowercase as an alternative, but I think I need to work it into something that works together with the uppercase.

Simple and expressive design. I tend to agree with p2pnut on the lower case. It's not easy to produce a full set of lc letters within the same 5x5 grid, with no ascenders or descenders. Very nice demo pic. 10/10

Very stylish. Crackin sample, very futuristic / UFO / Battlestar Galactic vibe.

D should be more like:
█████
█░░░█
█░█░█
█░░░█
█████
Of course, that would make it like O, which could perhaps be:
█████
█░░░█
█░░░█
█░░░█
█████

@m12
I disagree D is fine, and O is cool. The defo don't need changin.

I've been working on a few variations of this one. I wanted to create a few styles that could work together and create different forms by overlapping different weights, etc. Here's a result - with the 4 new styles in the center, and variations around the edges.

Not diggin' the lowercase letters, but otherwise a great font; remember, when you're dealing with small pixel fonts that don't leave much room for modification, it's best to just use the upper-case glyphs as the lower-case ones. It feels like you were getting desperate to come up with ideas for the lower-case glyphs.
