An attempt at creating a set based upon each glyph being set in a square (with obvious exceptions such as i, f, 1 etc). The 'Squarial' was the nickname for an old British motorbike - 'The Arial Square Four' -

Should I forsake the square and go for a more balanced look with those troublesome glyphs>
Beautiful work, P2pnut.
On behalf of your troublesome glyphs: I would leave the M and W as they are, but change the w and m width to match the UC´s, since you don´t really have to force them into monospace and considering other glyphs variable width like the i or f.
But you still get a tenner from me.
Which is why I feel as though I should offer my ¢0.02. While raising the power of each letter to 2 is admirable, but because you also sometimes discount it for certain glyphs, in the interest of the paying greater dividends to the shareholders, perhaps you could consider widening the M as well too. (I'll bet you couldn't guess that I just got up from doing a Finance assignment, could you? ;)
The M was one that I was uncertain about and you have helped me make my mind up. Now widened by 1/4 square (1/2 was just too much).
The m, n, p and r have had their 'tails' docked so that they match the rest ... not sure what you call these small ascenders and descenders.
