from the category of 'also ran'
Only interesting in theory; the practical application leaves a lot to be desired. Incomplete as well. Only sharing now because vacations are over. Back to work from tomorrow moring. Won't really have time to work on this in any meaningful way anymore. Unless inspiration strikes out of somewhere and I am able to stay awake past my bedtime.
Every glyph has a counter rotated glyph or has self rotational symmetry—all except the c, which remains a loner loser.
paired rotational glyphs: ae bq dp ft hy jr mw nu G9 JR NV 25
self rotational symmetric glyphs: g i k l o s x z Q S Z ! & , '
Full disclosure: This fs was started before there was such a thing as Reverse competition.
Side story on the making: This fontstruction is deceptively simple. It was quite a challenge to execute. Just because the strokes seem flowing doesn't mean they are all placed in the logical grid block. The rounded-off ends forced the bricks to be placed in any of the 8 adjoining blocks and nudged into place. Consequently, due to the nature of nudge only moving as much as half a block in any direction, some compromises had to be made in the shapes.

A perfect ambigram font. Cool!
Thanks, architaraz
Perfect sample shows your planning, thinking, patience and need to find a solution to achieve your dream. Highly impressive. That kind of dedication many people don't want to learn or don't understand. My GoldMedal to you ;)
Wow. What a compliment, Aeolien. I thank you for your generosity.
Nice animated sample.
Great samples that beautifully show how well this was put together. I would love to spend some time with this to find matching pairs of words.
Surprising, master!
9/10 Maybe you can think of full numerals, you can put the flipped 2 in the @ glyph
Congratulations on the Honorable Mention. In this design deviating from established letter shapes has added to the visual flow without reduction of meaning.
@Brynda: Thanks.
@four: Try: sales, evilina, lol, axe, haley, pod, axe. I'm sure others are possible as well. Thanks.
@elmoyenique: You are too kind. Thanks.
@meek: Thanks for the continuous support.
@Aeolien: So nice of you to notice. Thanks.
you said axe twice
you said axe twice
@Brynda You said you said axe twice twice
@bluemon you said "twice" two times
pretty cool! i made a font with a (not so) similar concept, named "componention". basically, it uses the other glyphs and modifies them to make another glyph, creating strange looks of the glyphs.
@hensilly she she also also said said "You said" "You said" twice twice
gives me puzzle game vibes
@lucapri yo spe i twi
where's 0, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8?
@Bernat Jansà Pascual: It can't form an ambigram
Except 8
