Excellent fin font, four! :) Low-res fontstructing put to great use, this is surprisingly well balanced considering the irregularity of the strokes and the unconventional counter sizes of some characters (b, d, g, h, p, q, y, etc.). A fantastic, bushy-tailed psychedelic nouveau poster face with a subliminal touch of woodblock. Bonus points for looking great in the fontstruct display widget, and tricky solutions like h. 10+/10

Thanks for your positive feedback everyone!

@ will.i.ૐ: thanks for your kind words. The consequence of using real curves is having to operate on a small grid. I was struggling a bit with open counter glyphs. Unfortunately 1:6 compositing doesn't exist yet, so I had to compromise where terminals are only one brick high.
