Looks boring, but there’s a lot of work that went into it, I promise.
There was probably a way that this could have been done a whole lot easier, but oh well.
• 1.66x1.66 brick scale
• connect bricks only
An experiment born from a different experiment. 5/3 x 5/3 brick size filters. No composites, almost no nudging, and only a couple instances of brick-patching. Lowercase is the same as uppercase with a few alternates. Full circles for closed counters, half circles for open counters. There are a couple other similar ideas in the works, hopefully done by next month if I have time :)

DOBINI BALWAUM (Inline) — Didone-style 18th century modern serif
═══════════════════════════════════
Dobini Balwaum is a Didone, or modern, serif typefaces inspired by the works of Bodoni, Didot and Walbaum.
This font had been in the making for quite a long time as I ren into several design difficulties along the way. Most challenging parameter was the inline width. By default the width for the inline was set at 0.125 (or 1/8th) grid units.
Maintaining a constant width for the inline proved to be next to impossible. Therefor it evolves around a 'close' approximation of 0.125 units instead. Stroke weight for the letterform contours also proved to be somewhat of a constraining factor for the overall design concept. As it limits the ability to build complex geometry.
Due to the complexity in brick arrangements the font remains having some minor imperfections that I wasn't able to polish out so far yet, and some may never will..
For now only Basic Latin letters, it remains a WIP
I hope you like it so far,
Cheers
An inline Shavian font using Japanyoshi/Ukiyomoji/Haley Wakamatsu's proposed fixed-width glyph styles for peep/fee/bib/vow, designed to convey yelling.
WIP, needs polishing. No latin alphabet planned. Feel free to fork.

Thanks to ETHproductions for the improved curve finish. There is a second "s" (slightly more rounded) and an alternate curvy "y" placed on the "fi" and "fl" glyphs respectively.
A little experiment with the "connect" bricks (and an healty dose of stacking). I wasn't referencing any specific example of the style (of which there are many), but I'm sure that, looking for solutions as I went, I ended up with something similar to already existing typefaces (and fontstructions).
Unfortunately, some connecting bricks don't align exactly, so I had to resort to approximate them, when possible, with more stacking, which didn't particularly help the already lacking consistency in construction.
But enough moaning, enjoy!
