Details

Description:
A tridimensional font on a 4x6 grid. The rendering on a pixel preview size is really neat, you can see only the shadows but the font is still legible. Uppercase, lowercase, numbers and basic punctation.

I like your execution on this. There are some extrusion consistency issues with the M and W. For the T you can try taking the left part of the V and placing the vertical stem on the 2nd column of blocks.

Thank a lot Geneus! I've modified the T, now should be better. I know that there are some shadow issues with M and W, but I was not able to sort them out... any idea?

Thanks a lot Williaum! The shadows of M and W have been fixed, now they indeed look more realistic. l/c is and numbers added! Cheers

Looks like Will beat me to it! ;)
Thanks, Will. Looks a lot better including the new characters, Alex.
I was going to say the same thing that williaum recommended, but also add some options for avoiding the stair-stepped pattern from the diagonals. With the options below, the curves on the lowercase j and r would have to be hardened in order to harmonize.
Cheers!

Thanks a lot to everybody. Geneus, your tip on removing the steppy shadow was really precious! Kix, thanks! The pixel preview is in fact one of my favorite things too.

Now I think that the last brick has really been posed :) and I would like to encourage the one who downloaded the font to update it. Cheers!
