Clone of Werner and vastly improved although some more glyphs might be of interest to my friends.Rounded corners give it the charm so often lacking in 'print' fonts. It provides a pleasant text experience. Takapuna is legible at smaller sizes. I named it after the home town of my penfriend.

Red text: Takapuna. Blue text: Werner (Takapuna's parent) and from OsyenVyeter I used [Arcane] to frame. He wondered where his font might be used ...

I added the 2 popular extended Latins, completed the 'more Latin' set and tidied some cap-line bricks.

Very useable.

The 3 looks to be leaning backwards a wee bit.

Thanks p2p, I'm glad to get this type of observation as I often work 'non-stop' on a font and can't see the wood for the trees. I started upgrading this 2 weeks ago and even after 4 days of distance since I thought it was done I still hadn't noticed the strange look of the 3. I just made the bowl larger and changed the angle to the ascender. Something I should have done but simply hadn't registered before publishing.

Looks fine now.

It's amazing how we can work on a design for ages and miss something that someone else sees immediately. elmoyenique has the best eyes here I think - he always finds those pesky stray bricks etc.
