This is a rework of Legolas Pixel. Since most glyphs have been completely redesigned, except the lower case, I thought, it would warrant a new font name. This is a work in progress. I'd like to add some alternate letters, and small caps.

@Frodo7 - Beautiful work here. Who needs Béziers when you have Blocks! :^)

There are very few kerning issues to solve, a pleasant surprise.

Beautiful use of pixels. Looks good in the sample but also works well at larger size.

Such a delightfully delicate and well balanced work.

@meek: Thank you for the special mention. Much appreciated.

@Goatmeal, @four, @p2pnut: Thank you for your comments and kind rating.

This work had a long incubation period; for a pixel font 70 days is long, indeed. It started as a revision of Legolas Pixel. I was not happy with the capitals, and some of the special characters were also in need of a facelift. I've experimented with several versions, including a bold one to finally arrive to the present version. The character set had been vastly extended to support most European languages. As I said before, I keep working on this font, adding alternate characters, and perhaps, small caps and ornaments too.

The text looks gorgeous in this font. How satisfying it must be to know you created this!

@thalamic: Thank you for your comment. Yeah, I was very happy to see all the small parts coming nicely together, including the subscript / supercript numbers, and the ligatures. I suppose, we all make fonts for the joy of creating something beautiful.
