this is great. so simple, yet it has a wonderful brush stroke feel. swirls can easily be imagined where you place circle bricks. although it could be used as text, the joy here is viewing this at a larger size and marveling at the artistry and craftsmanship. very nice.
Following Penkala, this is another nice font with some smart solutions. Your glyphs look so effortless and natural. It would deserve a decent demo pic. 10/10
Each new time I look at this font I like her more. Perhaps some glyphs might be a little more stylized, but the set works very well together at short distances. Are you planning to add other, more to the font (@, #,%, &, ",, N, C, accented vowels, etc.)? It would be very rewarding, please.
I guess I'd better get cracking on those other European characters then!
Many, many thanks Rob - I'm a little surprised, very humbled and more than pleased to have my first featured font. And thanks for everyone's comments, as always.
Some of the extra characters are likely to prove problematic - due to the small grid and 'odd' width of the letters - but I'll do my best. For example, the current @ symbol is already a little over the top, but all I could manage given the constraints of the grid.
To answer your quandary p2pnut, I tried a few alternatives to the M and W; dispite them being a little in more in keeping with the other characters, none of them were quite as satisfying to read as these, so I opted to compromise in favour of legibility.
Every time I see your font, so excellently built, I get why I should continue doing in FS, things that I call "fonts". Jokes aside, excellent work, it's great to have great teachers like you here.

I've altered the G, added numbers and tweaked a few other letters to make averything a little more cohesive.
love that g
The work of Underware foundry come to my mind when I see Mongrel
My only (teeny) quibble is with the sharp angles on the M and W ... they stand out against the other more sinuous glyphs. Still gets a 10 though :)
