@Sed4tives... I don't see it. So, I disagree. I see you left the m out of that list. I suppose I should probably thicken the sawtooth on that one. But that is the only one not conforming to the formula. That said, I think of it as an exception because I have worked on that one so much, so long (kinda tired of it now and I do like the result). So, if anything needs work, it's that one.
@Sed4tives, you were right. After reading more about the very fundamentals of Font Design I found that I was relying on simple math, but that crossbars and horizontal lines need to be skinner, they are perceived as fatter. Yet another optical illusion. In my head, they were right. I didn't fix them in this cloned free demo version, and I won't bother because I already did it in the original version. But it just goes to show how perceptive you are. I didn't get it at all until I read that. I should read more (like our fake president).

I didn't realize there were no samples of this one up.
If you ask me M, W, n and w still look too fat!
What, you're kidding, right @sed4tives? It's a monospaced font and the letters are all pretty much the same size width.
I talk about the weight mate ! ;)
One suggestion is to publish the font BEFORE posting samples so they'd show up in the Live...

@77... It was published, a loooong time ago.
