Dear architaraz: the white (light brown here) square must be in the right down corner to begin a chess game. Can you rebuild your sample for the chess rules, pleaaaaase?

Thanks. P2pnut, no worry, I've read it as strong anyway :)
Sorry Elmoyenique, I've deleted original psd file, but it's not a big deal, just a sample, not necessarily to be used like that. You can always recreate it yourself if needed.

Nice, I like it. Might the diagonal on N be a little too wide? I love the w and 3, and the M might look better as a flipped W. Also, I've found a way to make the round parts of letters slightly thinner, using the propeller brick. You may have considered something like it already, but I think it may help the width be a little bit more consistent:

@ETH:
Thanks! M,W,m,w are no problem, I can always add alternatives to the final version. And yeah, I think I've come across it, only the reason why I chose not to use it was the glyphs like n, u, y etc, they're not possible with that sqaure brick. Although I could find some compromises as in the picture below, but then every glyph gets messed up. And even if I use this method, it would appear that for example bottom right of "n" should also contain that serif, so...
I hope I will overcome these issues when editing with Font Creator.
