Details

Description:
This one likes steel machines that run on boiling water, because my girl is a steam punk rocker!!!
I took some liberties with the serifs: they might not be where they are intended to be or missing where they should be. And, although the lc has ascenders and descenders, the uc is set at x-height.

Es magnífico. I like the letters very much. To set the UC at x-height is unusual perhaps, but not unheard of. In fact I just did the same with one of my fonts (yet to be released), and it worked. If I may say something critical, I think the punctuation marks are too rounded, not a match with the overall look of the font. I would make them rounded rectangles instead.
¡Felicitaciones! 10/10

Future-retroism hits FS :)

I'm still getting used to the x-height u/c ... but it's worth the 10

I wanted to do a unicase font first, but did not like the one story a to distinguish it from the d, so it ended like this. I love this ones & and ß.
I also looked for descriptions for such fonts, since I understand small caps belong in the lc. if only someone would enlighten me...

Thx Guys!
I found that quote during the weekend and thought that hydrogen, oxygen & Your Majesty were cool words for this font :D
