@four: Amazing, fresh and new design, away from your usual fonts but closer to some of your other artwork, IMHO. A delight to watch. Congrats, compañero!
Quite a detailed outline font, looks grill pan-adjacent and also reminscent of older Chinese writings. Nice! Would be cool if there's an actual pan that you can grill words on your steak!
A fantastic outline font with extreme surface to volume ratio*. The "strokes" are curiously constituted by deep infoldings or long projections, if you like. Care was taken to make the outline continuous; thus the inside never communicates with the outside (see my colour sample). Furthermore, there are no inside island pieces; every glyph could be cut out in a single piece (except the ones with diacritics). I hope someone with manufacturing tools gets inspired and cuts these letters out of wood or metal sheet.
Since it is a unicase font, it would be nice to have capitals for A, B, D, and Q as alternates. The punctuation ( . , " ) could be a bit heftier, perhaps having just one fold. The ring above the a (å) should be a hollow ring instead of a dot (ȧ). All in all it is an awesome work; TP well deserved. 10/10
(*In a flat 2D world it would be more sensible to say circumference to area ratio.)
@Frodo7 Thank you for another in-depth analysis. I have added alternates for A,B,D and Q. I'm still thinking about how to best approach punctuation and rings.
Thanks @Sed4tives, I'm flattered to have had a positive influence on taking up type design.

cool!
Very unique and clever design
Lovely. Looks almost like a heating element or radiator.

Thank you @jirinvk, @tortoiseshell, @winty5, @meek, @elmoyenique!
Great work! Reminds me of Nazca lines.

Thanks @Yautja and @faux_icing!
I don't know how you do it but you keep doing brilliant stuff. Keep it up.

This kind of masterpieces are exactly why four's work a couple of years ago single handedly got me into font design... Stellar work!
and maybe check Ý and Ÿ; Ý is missing the letter, and Ÿ is missing the diacritic
@thalamic Thanks!

Thanks @BWM, I have added those.
