Biting off more than I can chew dept. I thought the difference between a full one-block square and a 3-and-a-half brick composite would be enough to subtly beef up the caps. Turns out it's a bit too subtle...
Well, it's difficult. I picked this scale as being the best fit to get those subtle horizontal curves, but it's not quite fine enough to cope. Sigh.
Making the caps more compact helps with the curve mismatch somewhat. Some of the cap curves remain problematical -- B, etc for instance. It would be nice to shave a bit more off the curve but of course I used the optimum brick shapes on the lower case, didn't I. Oooh Fontstruct, you're such a strict wench.
The case of the gritty grid. This brings to mind the reason I abandoned fake curves in the first place. There's an optimum combination of angles, and that's all there is to it. The join between the horizontal or vertical plane and the first angle, no matter how shallow, tends to go klunk. Adding thousands of bricks to miniaturize the klunks hides them, but I know they're there!.

You have only one diagonal which is Kk, hmm... leave like this I like it that way
