I know bits of it are misshapen but this sort of font is super hard on a body of 11 blocks high. I'm pleased that the spacing works. (Mostly!)

Welcome back. I missed your characteristic letters and samples seasoned with a bit of self-irony. Encyclic is very nice, and as usual, has some delicate twists and turnes I would never have dared to make. 10/10

I don't know where the 'misshapen' bits are - it looks pretty fine to me :)

Thank you, guys. I was mourning my lack of output lately and wondering if I'd finally hit the wall. But then the enthusiasm came back with a rush as the tinkering seemed to shape up as some sort of viable. I have a love-hate relationship with tiny grid schemes. I'm always awed by those designers who manage to combine super-small with super-elegant.

This one's about half-way there (conceptually, I mean, not number of glyphs produced!)

I like it, especially the E&F and the x look interesting:-) r looks too wide, maybe you shorten the right arm a bit.
But I don´t understand one thing: Why don´t you finish the whole set (UC) and then release it? If I would download it now, I could not use it...I hope you don´t take this personal but I´m just curious;-)

Modern ball terminals and subtle diagonal connections very pleasent to the eye, specially that k.
I can see the UC it's on it's way...

@Magic Sam: I think tag is in the same position I am in at the moment (with Mondrianish). You release the bare bones of an idea ... then people say they like it ... so you end up enlarging it.

I have now put a "caution, wait to download, 'struction in progress'" notice in the description of mine.

@tag: Caps are looking good. I haven't even started to explore the world of the tiny grid - I leave that to the more creative amongst us :)

very nice work tag. it has a certain quaintness, but with bold attitude :) it works very well together.

@Magic Sam: guilty as charged. I'm like the child" "Look, mummy!" to which she replies "That's lovely darling, but have you finished?".

So eager to please with my bowel motions.

Oh, I suppose so...

...but I still prefer my misshapen rrrs.
