Really quickly done, but surprisingly legible and succesful font for the Stencil Competition! If you have a sharp eye, traces of a weird experiment of trying to combine lowercase with uppercase might be visible for you. It's most noticeable in R, H, N, G, Q, K, E - mostly thanks to the way bridges are aligned.

Great! The UC/LC mixing is very well done. Not so sure about 5/8.

Changed the 8 to a more classic form, but I'm considering something LIKE THIS.

And I agree, 5 could me more like 5.

Thanks!

I like the third one. BTW there's a stray brick below X.

Thanks a lot Yautja, I thought my screen was dirty :D

New 5,8 and LC "t".

It definitely has a strong 'Neoqueto-ish' feel to it ... which, by the way, is a good thing :) 10/10

Glad to see you back, excellent entry for StencilComp. BTW, I hid Skyber from public view, since it's all working now.

Have you thought of doing this for the 8? The sharp corners are there, and the side dips are large, but the middle points aren't alined.

@Rahi-Tak: Yeah, of course, but it just looked... wacky to me. It's not the kind of asymmetry that fits here. Thx anyway, all suggestions welcome as always :)

This sample is barely readable even for me, so I'll be uploading a second one.
