Upper case is high, lower case is low. And it was going fine untill the letter x came along. Well it's a stupid letter anyway, just use 'ks' or 'cs' or even 'cks' instead ;P I think it works now. Call off the spelling reform :D

Ecsellent :) love the double quotes.
Wouldn't this work for x?

Comment by V. Sarela (Yautja) 2nd june 2012

Thank you, Yautja! I was afraid the double quotes were a bit too crazy.
Yes, it might, but it sort of violates some of the constrictions I've set up...

I love it! Nice sample on FontOut as well!

10/10 goes to you, master of tiny fonts :)

Another little jewel from you.I've a different proposition for "x". What about an alien counterpoint like this? Looks pretty cool for me!

Comment by Abneurone Fluid Types 2nd june 2012

I like these little chubby nice glyphs, and I'm waiting for the Xx as soon as possible.

Comment by elmoyenique 2nd june 2012

I think I prefer the previous alien-like creatures for "x" :)
Maybe, with fewer dots?

Comment by cablecomputer 3rd june 2012

I think we can call off the spelling reform now :p

Abneurone, I really like your idea, but I have come up with a less radical solution ;)

Comment by Christian Munk (CMunk) 4th june 2012

Also, I added two hyphens. The lo hyphen is on he '-' (hyphen) and the high is on the '_' (underscore). Slightly unintuitive, but I chose this arrangement, because - at least on my keyboard - you type underscore by holding shift and pressing '-'

Clever solution, that x!

Comment by four 7th june 2012

By the way, i did not tell you your solution was so natural and elegant, really in conformity with the style. Congratulations! Maybe i'll make something some day out of my little alien, though, i keep it in some corner of my brain...
