Description:
trying to break the grid once more... composite is a great feature... still running into a lot of problems though. in had a great start with this one. i think the squeezed curves create great shapes but i don't know if it's worth creating upper case letters for. this is more like an extended experiment. unfortunately spacing is aweful once again...

Nice work saberrider...don't give up yet! I'd love to see the upper case.

Yes, don’t give up! I was experimenting with something extremely similar last night, and eventually gave up. I’m glad I did… yours is better! I feel your frustration with the x-height, though. Just not quite consistent enough. However, the overall character is very unified. Excellent work. Keep pushing!

Pushing the envelop even further... Keep up the good work. 10/10

I think it's wonderful. It has a lovely informal look to it. Definitely worth pressing on with an upper case, though I can see it's a challenging prospect.

Great...
you correct the optical letter that make your font more natural, very harmonious and less GRID FEELING.
GO for the uppercase... please
