I genuinely enjoy creating fonts. I like to look at how letters are associated with each other, visually. Perhaps how a style should carry itself through a character set.
Sometimes the relationships between a capital letter and its lowercase counterpart. I may make little adjustments so that once in a while these often visually orphaned letter associations actually make sense when they otherwise wouldn't. Other times I welcome the antithesis of that, where it is never a consideration.
I previously design logos, websites, branding packages and marketing campaigns for small business. I was big on social marketing, loved it. Thanks to Facebook, Google and Twitter for betraying all of mankind and screwing every one of us, I no longer feel that my profession is a worthy endeavour. I lived on social marketing and they conducted treason against all of humanity.
So, I am retired and now my art is my full-time, fonts included. I still support my reg/hosting customers, as required.

I carefully selected and placed my bricks in such an order so that they would make perfect sense to me and speed-up the character making process and... WTF? I just can't deal with it. Can we please LOCK the User Bricks down?
Cloned from Vertalics originally, but not one single block remains.

Rules of Aximen font design project:
1. All letter characters and numerals must incorporate a section of the staff (any part of it, the staff is fully represented by the I).
2. Norse Futhark usually used a vertical line at the top and bottom of each rune to show it's flow across a stone or woodworking, that would follow the contour of the media. This means that no character can share the base line, nor can it share a part of the top line (as it's complete design, if sharing a guideline, would effectively disappear, like an L with an underline at the baseline would look more like an I). These are immaginary lines in uppercase, but the same glyphs will be used in lowercase which will offer a lowline directly below and sharing the base line at the top edge, as well as a top line at maximum character height where the bottom edge will share the top line (top of character boundry).
3. Accented characters will show accents below the low line or above the top line and the appropriate top or bottom edge of these lines will act like character boundry. In the uppercase register, these accents must mirror the placement of the lowercase, even though the low/top lines are immaginary.
4. Extra points for incorporating more of the staff into the actual character design. The staff line itself (again, represented in the I) represents the line used between characters in some Futharc runes.
5. Alphanumeric characters should represent modern letters and numbers, but not look modern. But, they do not have to look like runes, either. Yet, they should still be readable, though not necessarily well adapted to speed reading scanning of normal letter shapes. No character need to comply with Summer Institute for Linguistics standards, guidelines or rules, and the characters that bend such rules the farthest are considered the best.
6. Each character should be taken indivually as if the only design problem. Individuality and uniqueness of each character is prized well above unity as a typeface. Diversity, even of style througho0ut the same character set, is encouraged and applauded.
Reserved font name "Vertalics" (previously known as "Chicken Scratches") was created by and is Copyright Doug Peters 2018, and released as freeware under the SIL Open Font License. It is currently a limited character set novelty font and would require a lot of time and patience to develop it beyond that because of the nature of its design. You are welcome to carry on the work on your own, though I would like credit for the concept, initial design and the working start on it.

WebFont is SIL Open Font License freeware (version 1.0). If you like it for a website, you can use it as a web font. You can clone it, download it, whatever. Hopefully, if you use it as a web font, you will add a link to my site, Font-Journal (https://www.Font-Journal.com), in the credits of your website or blog (professional sites & blogs give credit for the resources used that aren't theirs), if you use it or distribute it, but that is not required.
You can edit, modify, append or do whatever you need to do with this font, including using it commercially or in creating your own art/graphic works, even a new version of the font as long as all further redistributed derivatives use a new reserved font name and remain under the same "SIL Open Font License".
This is a freeware font, it should never be sold, unless it is included as bonus freeware part of a paid collection. WebFont is FREE.
Supports a large latin character set (lots of latin), with extras like the Copyright, Trademark, Tel: symbols, currency signs and an assortment of little Dingbats. I try to use Dingbats for the UI when I design websites, so I included a few without weighing the font down too much, it still loads quickly. Loading a vector based font for UI stuff is a lot easier and quicker than loading graphic files.
Any questions, character requests? Go ahead and ask!
If you see anything that needs to be addressed, be sure to shout out at me, I'll see if I can fix stuff. - Doug Peters, Symbiotic Design
