@Bryndan W. Meyerholt (BWM) thank you for your words and for looking so close. I could not find the hole alone, but I covered the only spot I would suspect of being “leaky”.
@Cyan Blue - You already have several characters using 45° diagonal strokes with X & x as the basis. I'm certain you could derive a multiplication symbol from those! ;^)
There is already a few fonts that look very similar to this, like Hairscratch, but it's still a good font.
