The thing about a square of the things that are about a square is that they don't tile as well as squares do.

@thalamic - This design is absolutely mesmerizing; something is wrong with the vertical and horizontal hold being pinched/drawn towards the center.  Almost like an optical illusion... :^)

I'm with Goatmeal. Impressive creation, Master! (Great level, and we're just starting this Comp... ?. Every year it gets harder to compete.)

Almost looks as though its been tied a little too tightly together 10/10

@Goatmeal: Thanks. I love limitations that force things one way of another. Giving in is liberating.

@elmoyenique: Thanks. The first version of this font was first started on 16th October 2017 which actually had a square box around each of the glyphs. I have 4 other versions of this font in various stages of development. So many choices. This is the least complex version.

@tortoiseshell: The inter-glyph gaps are exactly two nudges off; the extra-glyph gaps are exactly two width line reduction off. The initial idea was for the perimeter curve in the glyphs to form a wedge when two of them are put next to each other. Ideas evolve. I go with whatever seems appropriate when patience runs out.

I'm not sure how someone with OCD would react to this, great font though, and great concept.

Great work, I love the handmade feel to the modular approach.
