Not quite finished - I'm not happy with the X and a few other glyphs most likely need tweaking. Suggestions welcome, as always.

To me the A, X, and Y look backwards, but they also look really cool :-)

strong one! like it

Comment by Michel Troy ~UrbanPixel~ (Upixel) 20th july 2010

good one.
i agree with lexkominek, exept for the Y. You should flip X and A :)

Comment by kix 20th july 2010

@Lex & Kix: the A and X are now flipped (I'm so glad that shortcut exists now) and I think I agree - I'm too close to be objective. But still there's something wrong with X; it seems a little unbalanced, like it may topple at the slightest nudge.

The other one I'm not totally sure about is the K - I tried alternatives with diagonals, but annoyingly nothing else seemed quite as appropriate.

Perhaps some numbers would give it more structure by which to hone the letters...

Comment by chr.s 20th july 2010

I think it looks great, X and K included. My favourites would be the diagonal letters and the T. It's got a really pleasant balance between the chunkiness, the gaps and serifs.

Seeing as you asked for suggestions, I tried to make a nice K and came up with this (though I don't think its better, but hopefully it can help you on your way):

I could not have said you before how much I liked this font from the first time that I saw it, so now I do it. Fonts like this one are those that I wanted to be able to construct. Well done, I learn of this! 10/10.
