Hey Elmo, this one proves you can be also really excellent in more adventurous and unusual paths, here making an improbable mix of futuristic, alien and some sort of western feel. What a pity you had to make polygonal curves due to the limits of FS. Maybe Williaum, our magician of composites, could find a solution avoiding straight lines in that 3x3 cases arc configuration...

Really cool mix of the past and the future! 10/10

Hey, I see a mistake on the sample, there are two eights on the sample.

It m ay not be the most legible font, but it has masses of character. 10/10

Congratulation on the TP! :-)
I didn't even noticed that it didn't use curves, but it surely could (and filters would be useful just to make it easier to draw w).

The simpler, the better ) I like it. Thnx

Comment by kassymkulov 12th december 2011

Wow! Thanks all for the support!
@riccard0: Thanks, pal; I hope to see the 2013! And I'll try to get the right curves for this font, sure.
@ne: Dear compañero, you're right about my difficulties with the arcs in the corners... I hope to find one better solution for the font.
@Yautja, @cablecomputer: Thanks a lot, amigos. @cable: thank you once again, 4 eyes are better than 2... there are two 8s.
@meek: Estimated boss, thanks a lot for this new bit of energy.
@p2pnut, @architaraz: all my hours infront of the screen are very well recompensed with your words, thanks!

Actually I started trying to reproduce it using "macaroni" bricks for the curves. Using 2x2 filters, I cannot use a clone, and had to go back and forth betweeen two different fontstructor windows.
One curve which is worst that the one obtainable with 1x1 filters is the top-right-of-cell internal curve. You could see three possible alternatives on 3 and 8.
Here's my effort as now: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/579529
If you think it could be useful for you, please clone it. Then I will take it down.
