Clean elegant lines. Fine curves, subtle details. The spacing is perfected beyond perception. Bravo. 10/10

Deceptively curvilinear at pixel size.

I would strip down the dots, too. :-)

And maybe the pilcrow could have a bigger bowl?

Thanks for the TP :-)

Pilcrow fixed. I am such an amateur here ... I actually had to google 'pilcrow' to find out what it was!

Still, I learn something ever time I login here and am really enjoying the process. I just wish I had been able to do something in this line years ago. Then again, when I was young they were still using linotype machines

Not sure if you meant all the dots Gustavo. However, I had been unsure about the dots above the i & j and have returned them to their original state.

If you think the other dots (on the diacritics)are too large I am prepared to be persuaded :-)

What the heck?I decided to change all the dots ... it was something that I had tried originally and now I see the whole set, I think it works better.

Gferreira was right, it looks even better. It is gorgeous. One minor thing: the § sign looks a bit queer. It has an ambitendency, as if you couldn't decide which radius to use for the curves. It would look more balanced with a medium size bowl both at the top and at the bottom.

@Frodo7: Yep. It was a bit of dog wasn't it ... I think the amended one is better (all three elements are the same).
