This new version magnifies even more the unique personality of the font. I love the ultra thin contrasting with the bold, especially the incredible thin special glyphs. You must work on a pretty large grid to allow such efficient contrast! This v.2 really pushes the font to a higher level . I just wonder if the "t" is not too small or its bar too low ?

Love it. Although I would agree with ne about that 't'. Still worth a 10/10 though.

Comment by p2pnut 27th february 2012

Also, I got the impression the bar on the "G" seems a bit weird, as if it was not completely finished

Comment by Abneurone Fluid Types 27th february 2012

Yes, that's right. The "G" is a bit tricky.
I changed the "t". I think it's better now.

Comment by beate 27th february 2012

Totally unique in every way. It is so stylish, distinctive and fresh. If this was a full 'non bezier curves' font family, I would buy it.
My only constructive crits would be the 'z' may look better if it had a thin section before it touches the diagonal.
Also the '7' looks a little narrow. Perhaps it should lean right a little more, and maybe the '1' should only have the left hand serif, otherwise it looks like a small caps 'I'. Also the 'Y', sticking out slash base line looks like it's a mistake.
