This is a quick font done in the style of "phunk" ansi art from the 1990s. Obviously there were no rounded corners in ansi but style-wise, it's pretty close I think. And it looks to me like a relatively "usable" font (in real life terms), other than the fact that it's not very readable. Oh well. Other than that, the font features lots of "special" characters (diacritics etc.), & text figures (aka old-style numerals), which is kind of silly since nobody in their right mind would compose an entire paragraph in this font. But there you have it.

I think this one has some real potential. There's a few characters that could do with a little revision, but it's a great set overall.

Maybe consider a different approach to the D in order to avoid using the 45° brick, perhaps the U, u, V and v could also be reworked to get around the same issue.

Otherwise, it's a great bunch of characters with some really interesting solutions to the limitations you've set yourself.

Despite my suggestions for improval, it definitely gets a 10

thanks for the comments chr.s. the D, V, etc. are tricky, as you point out. with just rounded characters, they tend to look completely illegible. i thought a practical solution would be better, even if it broke the "system". but i'll keep working on it, there's definitely lots of fun things to do with this scheme.
