Description:
Like Masphalt, the original inspiration for this one comes from Stefan Kjartansson's Black Slabbath. I think I played enough with it to make it my own. Like the two-story lowercase g and lowercase a. Squishing that middle stroke really gave this one a personality. I kept all the counters rectangular, try not to hide the hard edges. This is my first time going through the diacritics to give me a holler if you see something wrong.

@william: Thank you so much for looking at this one. All the attention is certainlly appreciated. Yes, I am using the Character Palette in OSX. Having all the font variations is terrific. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going against the grain on any weird doo-hickies.

So I've look over your suggestion and I've beefed up the accents. That's the first I ever heard of a "macron" and "breve." The tilde was a bit pointy, I think I found something that fits. Thanks again!
