As you might guess from the quality of the uppercase, I started with lowercase and had quite some trouble finishing the uppercase... And I know there are (obviously) always the connection strokes peaking out at the end any word, but funnily this imperfect look has started to grow on me during the fontstructing.

I also know there are still lots and lots of inconsistencies and letters that badly need a rework, but I thought the constructive criticism of my fellow fonstructors might be more helpful and efficient at improving this... So I'm grateful for any suggestions!:)
Oh, and yes: The kerning is very painful at times, but I can't see how I can improve that under the constraints of the script and the character forms. And obviously the script thing doesn't work with uppercase only text.Little%20experiment%20of%20mine%2C%20trying%20to%20design%20a%20script%20font%20that%20really%20connects%20all%20the%20letters.%20As%20you%20might%20guess%20from%20the%20quality%20of%20the%20uppercase%2C%20I%20started%20with%20lowercase%20and%20had%20quite%20some%20trouble%20finishing%20the%20uppercase...%20And%20I%20know%20there%20are%20%28obviously%29%20always%20the%20connection%20strokes%20peaking%20out%20at%20the%20end%20any%20word%2C%20but%20funnily%20this%20imperfect%20look%20has%20started%20to%20grow%20on%20me%20during%20the%20fontstructing.%0D%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0AI%20also%20know%20there%20are%20still%20lots%20and%20lots%20of%20inconsistencies%20and%20letters%20that%20badly%20need%20a%20rework%2C%20but%20I%20thought%20the%20constructive%20criticism%20of%20my%20fellow%20fonstructors%20might%20be%20more%20helpful%20and%20efficient%20at%20improving%20this...%20So%20I%27m%20grateful%20for%20any%20suggestions%21%3A%29%0D%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EOh%2C%20and%20yes%3A%20The%20kerning%20is%20very%20painful%20at%20times%2C%20but%20I%20can%27t%20see%20how%20I%20can%20improve%20that%20under%20the%20constraints%20of%20the%20script%20and%20the%20character%20forms.%20And%20obviously%20the%20script%20thing%20doesn%27t%20work%20with%20uppercase%20only%20text.
