Details

Description:
For use at pixel level.
   Also works at 32pt×x, where x=1,2,4,8,etc.
-----
This font has been a long time in the making. The dots are such that the curved shapes and squared-off letters just would not resolve to an equal height no matter what I tried. Then after the mixed x-height that came about in yesterday's la Cross, it occurred to me to just let the letters be as tall as they wanted to be. It seems to work for some odd reason. Can someone please explain why it works?

That 5 makes me jealous!
I love the "stroke" thickness variation.
BTW your sample reminds me of a friend's clothing company whose quality was so bad, that he claimed it was biodegradable & therefore environmental.
his tags said: no lavar, no planchar, no usar! (do not wash, do not iron, do not use) ironically, he sold them all.

@cayo: "Do not use."? *LOL*

The SPACE key needs increasing,
and as you know I'm never fond of old school style numbers. They really date a font
