Description:
An Art-Deco-inspired fontstruction I created in April. Not sure why I never published it, but here it is! EDIT: Three seconds after hitting "Save Changes" I thought of the perfect name for this one. I've updated the name. There's also an alternate 'a' and 'g' available in the IPA area.

I like it! 10/10.
Some glyphs are directly delicious (like the "&" and many others, especially in the lower case). Have you thought about trying to link the lower arms of the "R" and "k" with the uppers? I think that would work better, but this may be a differential sign for the font, if you want it in that way. The "e" is my "ugly duck", but the difference is the taste.

Thanks! The inktraps in the 'R' and 'k' were definitely design decisions, but if you can figure out how to make the uppercase 'K' match, let me know!

The 'e' was a challenge, but I've grown kind of fond of how it turned out.

This is cool Lex. I love the numerals.

How about this for alternate e?

Please, erase my "ugly duck" opinion about your letter "e".

@elmo: See what I mean about it growing on you?

I've created an alternate 'e' inspired by yours in the IPA set.

@will: Interesting... not exactly what I had in mind, but maybe I'll play with what you've come up with... :-)

I've also reverted the 'g' back to its original form - I thought it looked too heavy at first, but now I realize it was fine how it was.
