Since I could not find "non-eroded" version of a source font that I like a lot, I decided to make my own clone. When at it I tweaked some letters (A, K, W, Y, 5) to my liking and left the lowercase as variations. Also added few letters with diacritics from my region.

Nice work cleaning up this! Though I did like the original A, maybe you can add it as an alternative somewhere? Also there's a missing part on the ñ.
@V. Sarela (Yautja): Thank you for your suggestions. I corrected the ñ glyph and restored the original A as capital alpha in greek set.
@Peter (Petruuccio): This is what the clone button was created for! Excellent cleaning job (so much so that I copied it to keep it)! Also, here you have an enlarged A, a retouched K (with the central bar slightly diminished) and a new W, in case any of them are of interest to you.
Thank you for your words and suggestions. I will try to learn from them and later to integrate some of those. Unfortunatelly, right now I dont know yet, how you made those composite bricks in double grid setting. That "A" looks good, I derived mine as inverted "V". When I tried to make "W" by blending two "V", it resulted in enormous glyph width. So I said to me, lets be a bit less consistent and maintain it within some extenses. Since I dont know whether its here possible (nor how) to set kerning for individual pairs like VA AV TA, I prefered the overal width to be as close as possible.
@Peter (Petruuccio): Tell me (without hesitation) if this 2 samples works for you. Happy New 2024 to you & yours!
@Elmoyenique: Thanks for the mini tutorial. It helped me. What I struggle with is the 2x2 grid for tiles and making proper composite where to make 4x4 actually only places 2x2 basic tiles and leaves gaps in the composite, or they have to overlap which is not intuitive and hard to predict the result. I think the very top of A composite is unnecessary, as the arcs tangentially attach in same spot and do not overlap. The brick with wedge cutout was the hardest bit. I am about to blend the 2 Vs (I did not realize first time I could cheat a bit with making the bottom V joint tighter). Happy New Year!
You're welcome!
And, yes, certainly, there are often useless bricks left in some glyphs, which I try to eliminate when I find them... Thank you.
Useless can come in handy when later modifications are required, especially on round bits and slants. So certain useless bricks I still like to keep untouched.
Yes, of course. I did not mean to remove that brick from list, just that its use on that spot was redundant. Would you guys help me decide which W to keep, or where to store the alternatives? Lower case is taken. We do not use it in my local language, so I was satisfied with the smallest, but somebody might think of it like double U, another like double V...
I was talking about the canvas grid location, not the brick palette, Ill demonstrate it with the help of an image later ;)
I would personally choose the second one.
@Sad4tives: Thanks for opinion, I finished it with the widest one in the end. Also adjusted kerning where I could and added few cyrillic and other glyphs.
Added improvised greek and hebrew
