I think this version is better: changing the squared corners makes the font more solid... But here is the great question: the first (zibernia), the new (zibernia blk) or both twins? The great dilemma once again. Help/opinions are welcoming.
@aphoria: Did you mean rounding the g’s link? I agree with this feedback, so correct me if I am wrong.
@elmo: I also agree you have improved the sturdiness and overall effect of zibernia by going with chunky slab terminals. I was digging this feature on your new g. All good thoughts!
The link is not totally resolved in its semi-pixelated form (when paired with square terminal). Somehow it works out better for me with the current quarter-round terminal, so keep it just like it is if no other solution arises. :)
If I remember correctly, the lower-right brick which terminates the loop (now a “quarter round” brick) started out as a full square – one of those cool chunky slab terminals.
@aphoria and @will.i.ૐ: Thanks, masters. I've changed some glyphs (the controversial "g", "Y", "y" and some others) and I think the font looks better. I'm waiting for your opinion very grateful, please.
1. Avoid 2×2 filter unless there's a real need for it. This fs doesn't seem to need it.
2. If you have to use 2×2 filter, use the lower-left quarter square brick as your default brick. It works just like a full square brick in a 1×1 filter.
3. Make sure your brick number 1 is the full square or the lower-left quarter square brick. In most fonts you will need to use this brick more than any other brick and pressing 1 on the keyboard will give you a quick access to it.
4. Some time ago, I asked Rob Meek for a special favor which he granted. There is an undocumented shortcut key for the pointer. The default is P, but at my request, he assigned the Q key to the pointer as well. It was super cool of him to do so. The benefit of having Q as the pointer is that my left hand has all the shortcuts I need most of the time. Q A (Select All), E (Eraser), Z (Undo), S (Save), X (Cut), C (Copy), V (Paste), R (Rectangle), Y (Redo) and 1 (Load brick number 1). Also Shift+G (Group), Shift+H (Flip Horizontal), Shift+V (Flip Vertical), and Shift+R (Rotate).
Finally, some glyphic suggestions.
And apologies for the un-solicited advice.
@aphoria: Thanks, I like a lot the new "g".
@thalamic: Thank you very much for your comments. You propose me just a new font and I like it! I'll trying to fstruct it soon.

Now I'm not sure what elmo actually changed on the g?
New Y: great!
New y: good choice to remove the terminal, though I am convinced it looks even better to drop the bottom of the counter to the baseline.
Allow me to offer some pointers.

Below is my suggestion for the g.
