Ant-Man! Still a work in progress, but obviously it has to be released today. There were lots of failures in attempting this one. This version was the best rendition thus far. The preview looks best set below 75%.

Fabulous shading, the font looks 'mobile' like dropping from some height.

@Geneus1 - Wonderful gradients here. The tall & narrow letters work to the advantage of the vertical "shrinking" effect.

The shrinking Ant-Man. It's a nice font with built-in type effect. The base font, in this case the lower case set, looks stylish, ready for comics action. The shrinking effect could also be used as drop shadow(s) on wall, has an air of retro. I wonder, how you managed the overlaps between letters. Great job. 10/10

Wow, geneus1, this is really fantastic! I'm sure you went through a lot of tests just to get this right. Kudos to you, sir!

Great effect, the increasing overlap of the 'drop shadows' works very well.

Thanks everyone! and thanks for the TP, meek!

Usually I have a sketches on paper before starting a fontstruction, but this one was all done within the fontstructor. I went by the Ant-Man logo used in the movie, but wanted to add the shrinking effect to it. I tried using various combinations of lines and dots until finally coming up with a scheme that looked best with multiple square dot patterns overlapping.
