Been playing with my extra Colourcomp slots and layering the 'macaroni' bricks to see what shadowplay I can get out from it, resulting in what become as stated in the font name, Farop (Fanning a Ream of Paper).
I was inspired to indulge in the great abandonment of a typographic baseline when I saw how anotherSerif by Xiaoyuan Gao disregards its convention and produced a wonderfully cheery dot matrix font work. Thus, even with the limitations implemented by the 'ream' brick compositions, quirky glyphs can still be made out of them.
I have a feeling that I'll be disregarding baselines a lot more moving forward, ever since how the Numberscomp brought to my attention the energetic disposition of oldstyle numerals.

@faux_icing - A very interesting effect. I've always been a fan of gradients! :^)
Wow! I never seen this! Also i'm Jeyco with a foundry. I don't know if you see my comment in Ricecake.
@typoman you don't have to tell everyone that you're jeyco, you can put that in your bio
Pretty nice font. I wonder how you made the gradient for this?
@TypoMan You could add that to your bio. You might also want to check for overlaps and self intersections on your Hypnos font (from the 1001 fonts URL on your profile).
Thanks a lot guys! Noted on that @TypoMan Foundry.
@Bryndan: Here are the individual 'macaroni' bricks I used to layer them over each other
Interesting...
