Umm... You left in extra height... Next time you create a sample, make sure to resize it...

I'm pretty sure it's intentional ;)

Stylish, elegant with a touch of 60s playfulness and experimentation.

The music so matches the imagery .......

Layne,
I think you have come up with a nice idea and a great concept for an elegant and playful serif. Maybe you could develop the "diagonals" of K and k a bit further. Could the rounding be reduced a bit in favor of a slope? (A compromise between x and k?) I do not understand the x-problem.

And: I like the nice sample for this nice Fontstruction.

@Se7enty-Se7en. Getting the diagonals of letters such as X to line up exactly is a hard thing to do, if you want to make it pleasant to look at. Especially in fine line typefaces. For optical reasons, it looks better to offset the diagonals a little. In a bold typeface, you could hide this in the thickness of the lines, but when using fine lines, you may have to use connections such as this.

Hello Cmunk, How long has it been since your last login?

Thanks for all your feedback. @beate: I see what you mean and will try and work on it.

Thanks to CMunk for the explanation... Generally I think that weirdness is a great thing for glyphs. We're pushing the boundaries of how a glyph can look like and still fit into the general image of the typeface.

@Haapsalu: I'm not sure what you mean exactly...

ellipses are soooo passive agressive - sage

I bet Haapsalu wondered how smooth "Emily Play" looks at the maximum size, wow, well done! (as always^^)
