Really nice, shasta! I think your ascenders (b,d,h,k,l) just need to be a bit higher. These normally rise above the cap height.

Thanks for your constructive feedback... you're right! I'll take care of this as soon as possible. Right now i have to go to bed and shed some tears for Switzerland's out at the Euro '08... Sometimes emotions gotta dominate over typography. ;)

Great work!

The little change Stewf suggests would made this set perfect.

ok, there you go with higher rising ascenders! thank god there aren't more of them, fontstructing is really aweful if you have to work with the touchpad of your laptop cause you forgot your mouse...:)
thanks for your feedback, both of you!

This is a beauty, shasta. I especially LOVE the lower case 'g' :)

I think following Stewf's advice with regards to the ascenders really balanced the lower case out.

Cheers!
