Superb creativity in all the glyphs, master! My 10 2 U! (PS with a reverencial flourish: Some of they are a liiiittle bit hard to read in normal text, but all of them are precious, IMHO -and bad english, sorry-).
Innovative, crazy, and awesome! I especially like how the d seems to link with the letter after but it's actually the d by itself (if that make sense).
This font started because I had an idea to do the A that is there. Initially, I was only going to do the uppercase. But the D (!) gave me a lot of problems. No variation of the D seemed appropriate. Until I did the larger lowercase looking D that's currently visible. The other letter that was not working out was the I. I tried 17 different variations of the I before I settled on this one. It is too standard and the one thing I was attempting for was non-standard, without deviating too much from the overall aesthetic. That worked for most glyphs, but not the I. This incarnation is too boring and plain. I may change it later.
Having done the larger D/d, making a lowercase variant was a snap. Once that was done, the rest of the lowercase letters just happened without any undue coaxing.
Looking at the finished set, the lowercase set works so much better than the uppercase one. Which says something about regularity. But first letter upper and the rest lowercase combination also works. So overall not bad for a day's work.
Impressive Postmodern work, going beyond typography. I guess what the global japanese feel would be great with Katanaka glyphs (maybe a work for Neoqueto, as it is also not far from his own style)

Thank you for the appreciations.
