Nothing like a tasty funk_king script face! The uppercase is a hot pan of cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven. Very tactile. I want to uncurl them to discover their gooey centers.
One critique, the m and n are quite unique/unusual in this context. The thickness of the connecting stroke dominates these characters which also gives them the appearance of having an extra shoulder (in comparison to v, w, especially). But then I like how the m evokes these little “musical note” terminals sprinkled throughout. A niggling detail the mere ironing out of which might dampen this one’s spirit.
A beautiful script! The ball terminals give this a very musical feel indeed. How about an alternate m and n without connectors to give users the choice between consistency and better legibility?
Thanks, Mr. Meek. I appreciate the TP. It's been awhile, but always very nice. and thanks, my fellows for you comments and feedback. I will look closer at the suggestions soon. great to be back, although i was never really away:)

One critique: the capital J, although adhering to the the consistency of the thickness of all left-bearing stems, reveals a lowercase j with a stronger stem that overpowers it. The cap J would benefit from a thickening to match the lowercase j as well as the addition of a descending hook at the bottom. Another observation of unique/unusual occurrences lies in the curves where the stem of the T meet the top bar - which seems a little uncharacteristic, and the curly cue of the capital O - which may befit a similar treatment as the lowercase o in place of the sharp edge under the loop. But those are minor. Great to see you back, fk!

Agree with four, not sure about "m" and "n" legibility.
