I agree with all of the above. And let me just point out that Q again. The lower case eth should probably be rounder and the thorn should look more like the combination of b and p in my opinion. But I'm not Icelandic and haven't had much experience with that language, so what do I know. It sure deserves a 10/10 and a fave.
Yet another skillful work from your workshop. Kudos for the consistent design and the extended character set. I have the feeling there is something missing from the picture: the serifs at the end of the ascenders (b,d,h,k,l), and descenders (p,q). But that's the whole point to knock the reader off balance and grab his/her full attention by these peculiar omissions. Perhaps it wasn't so calculated, but instinctive, the result is the same: a new semi-Egyptian. 10/10
@Frodo7: Actually, at one point in the deveopment process of the font the letters you mentioned had serifs at the a-/descenders, but that is just the way this font worked for me. I tried many different things and had a few variations of most letters i could choose from and combine again till I thought it looked good and consistent and that's hopefully what you can see above.

@CMunk: You're right, I confused the eth with the "d with stroke". I'll try to change it into a more icelandic form.
EDIT: Adjustments to the small eth and thorn made. Again thanks to CMunk for the tip.
