Please see the sample in the comments. I haven't released any fontstructions in months, but I've constantly been trying to find new methods of fontstructing more sophisticated shapes. This is the result. Not yet finished though. Feedback welcome. The subtle roundings give it a somewhat handpainted look which i quite like.

Great to see you surface again with some amazing technique. The W seems a little out of place. I wonder if there is more than one typeface in this one.

Thank you Rob!
Yes the W was giving me headaches. I changed it slightly, i think it might be a little better. Also I added some alternatives.

I know this needs a lot of hard work to make just one glyphs! AMAZING! Three 10/10 :D

Nice to see you here again :)

I agree that the W is the slightly weakest link here - I imagine it must be a real headache with 2:2 filters.

However I am sure you will overcome and it is worth a 10/10

Always pushing boundaries. It's easy to overlook the advanced features in this fontstruction because of its simplicity. Nice approximation of quarter-circle curves on a 3x3 grid space.

I'm temporarily making my Streamlyne fontstruction clonable so I can share this find with you - it's a smoothly connected curve with an angled line used in the A and V. Nobody seemed to notice it before when it was released. Here's a close-up. Let me know what you think.
