Inspired from Yautja's Advancer, but here I wanted dots to not overlap. They don't touch and approximately have same distance from one another. Turned them into pearls or bubbles, to make it more interesting. Needs tweaking here and there. This was and is fun to make :) Enjoy.

Great! Glad to have inspired you. I like the ligatures (like "ls").
Maybe the comma tail could be more curved? I also prefer the text figures.

@rj10328:
The word Pearl in your sample really looks like a pearl :) Thanks!

@Yautja:
Thanks, It's in progress, so, maybe I'll manage comma. Here's a sample showing some ligatures:

So natural as usual. Seeing this I can't help remembering our great Funk King who made some of the most beautiful dot fontstructions ever. I attach a little sample with some glyphs from 4 of my very favourites i had the chance to download before he removes all his fonts. This minuscule part from the amazing quality of his so prolific FS journey (he had published more than 700 fonts) makes you measure how great was the loss for this community when he left. And, contrarily to me, i think sadly there's no real chance he comes back, he seems to have definitely passed to something else.

Thanks AFT!
Well, it seems he (Wilson Thomas aka Funk_King) is still creating fonts, and maybe even still using fontstructor. I'm saying it cause he uploaded some new fonts at myfonts.com recently.
