When I first saw jonrgrover's Wiggly Wumpus, I told the author my first impressions about the font. After a few days, I finally decided to do it myself, and that's how these glyphs you see were born (thanks for the creative impulse, Jon). Achieving a smooth, sinuous curve has been a bit more laborious than expected, and there are some letters of complicated construction and I'm not 100% happy with the current look of some of those. But here they are, dancing infront of your eyes as if reflected in a fairground mirror. Btw, "Specula risus" (latin) means "Mirror of laughter", that kind of mirrors that visual and comically deforms our bodies... Hope you like them.

I wonder what this would look like without the wiggliness in the letters… Nice concept.
@Bryndan W. Meyerholt: Thanks a lot. It was more funny on this way :). But i will think about that.
Great brick layout diagram that shows the power of faux-Bézier in all its glory.
When done properly the possibilities become unlimited, and a surprisingly user-friendly way to break away from much of FontStruct's traditional limitations.
@Sed4tives: You make me blush, compa😊. Thank you so much! I remember that the ancient Greeks said that a curve was nothing more than the succession of a multitude of small straight lines...
me building exclusively with squares while this guy is building his fonts out of a hundred shapes for each glyph
really nice work
