This looks really good. I would have done a few details differently, but I understand your effort to keep the design consistent. Stray brick at the bottom of X. I hope to see the numbers, special characters, etc. soon. Well Done. 10/10

Thanks Frodo7. Special chars coming soon, and I'll fix X right now.

OK - what have you done with winty5? We can see that you are some experienced old typographer who has stolen his identity!

Seriously Noah, this is your best work so far. Anyone should be pleased to have created such a balanced, good looking font. Compare it with Roboto ... then give yourself a big clap on the back. 10/10+

Thanks a lot p2pnut! I have come quite far since Roboto…

Sample coming up...

Great stuff. Looking forward to a fuller charset. I wonder if the letter-spacing could be reduced a little.

Hey, pal, all my congrats!!!! Yeeee-ha!!!!
(BTW, I was glad if you would look this font. This was my first TP and I remember when I was looking to the pink square with the white star inside... and I can't believe this!!!! the day begins better than better, in a just unique manner! I can never forget that moment! Hope you can feel something like this, mi joven compañero!)
Long live FontStruct!

Just changed the Q and the 3. If my font gets a TP, every glyph should deserve the TP!
