I love this one. You make beautiful A's (and other glyphs as well). :)

A suggestion: I understand that the crossbar on the A has to extend out of the angular sides because of the limitations of the available bricks. However, why not extend the effect to other crossbars? The B, E, F etc. Extend the crossbars out of the vertical stems (a la A) and create a half brick tall gap below the intersection (as in A, E, Z, x).

Thank you for your nice comment on A Needle Pulling Thread. I appreciate it. :)

I did consider the same treatment on the other glyphs. It's a pretty distinctive departure in a font that's already full of quirks.

I like the idea of single glyphs that are exceptions in a font. (For instance I love the Caslon italic cap A. We accept it because Caslon has become part of the typographic furniture, but when you first see it, it's odd.)

Figuring the difference between an exeption and an abberation is the hard bit.

I suppose I instinctively felt that if I used that device at all available opportunities, the font would lose some of its character.

You know, the "less is more" idea.

Thanks, BlackJohnson. I did this one when the 45deg brick was the only angled option. So I reasoned, "if I make the widest (angled) glyph the template for all the others, that will give me the 'ideal' average glyph-width."

Hence the extreme extendedness of the font.
