Maybe shifting to CCAN licensing will discourage pilferers from trying to make money out of my designs. Cheek!

The sampler doesn't look much good because the breaks between bricks are too fine. Pity

Love the E and S.

Great job, but I think you need Afrojet to do you a sample. I think he'll work wonders with it. It's right up his street.

Amazing work with such a few bricks. The general design has a great modern feel. Have you tried an horizontal half square brick as lower bar for the E ?

Dude! This IS right up my street. In fact, I'm going to visit it on Halloween and get a pillowcase of candy from it, because IT is so sweet.

Sursly. That R! So simple so powerful. I want to sumo-wrestle it.

At first, I thought I saw a glyph here and there that I might suggest a change to, but after looking at your sample, I would not change a thing. Every word is a quirky fontabulous piece of art.

Great work, Tag. One question: is the T an homage to william's I in djangogh? Or is this some kind of fraternal brotherhood of the screw that you two are in on?

Brilliant! simply brilliant! brilliantly simple! :)

Phew! Thanks everybody, I'm adrenalized by your approval!
@igorrossi: yes, but I quite like the idea of a single rogue brick on a high-frequency glyph. E occurs so often, it creates its own authority even though it's completely out of whack with the rest of them.
@afrojet: I didn't realise williaum was back and living under an assumed name! I thought this font was mad but his takes the biscuit. Actually the T-glyph was the one I wrestled with! I can't think of anything better unfortunately.
