Unicase font with the best of the 80's flavour and the great Expressa typeface in mind. A new try melting frontiers between upper and lowercase, all in a row. Hope you've fun with it!

@Sed4tives: Thanks a lot, pal! Only was a fool idea rescued from one of my very old designs (I made it using Letraset adhesive letters for the texts, btw. Zikkurath was a spanish SF magazine)...
@Kiên Trung: Thank you very much! And I love "Bauhamas"!
I wonder if full height vowel letters could be added as well (plus glyphs to extend the line on the C, L, Z) (I tried building the full height A in GIMP to the best of my ability)
That's why it's merely... "Reminiscent." ;^D (The L is off, too.) Not threadjack, but here's my take on the logo from almost 13 years ago: Take A Walk, Man!
@frongile: I'm not really sure, I think it could have been when I was designing zophyka, which had a lot of curves of various sizes. It doesn't matter.
@BWM: Thanks. It was a good idea, but it's difficult to extend it to this font (at least for me, with problems with the different length of the glyph line under e or i, etc...). Maybe in another similar way, working with it a little more... I'm thinking about it.

Very funky stuff.. clever use of x-height allignement for some characters. And wonderful 4, 6 and 8. 🥰
The Bahamas vibe. I like this one, weird and unique at the same time.
@Kiên Trung:...Bauhamas!

Wait, its name was actually Bauhamas!? Anyway, it's clever from the use of the x-height AND to just apply the lowercase version to the vowel.
Bauhamas was just a word play joke by me 😉
You guys 😅. (That joke made me searching Google immediately.)
You never know what such random search keys might bring for hidden gems, I had a fair share of luck and treasure that way!
How about more kerning?

@elmoyenique - Reminiscent of SONY's WALKMAN logo font from the 1980s. Great job! :^)
One major difference is the dotted A in WALKMAN
Where'd you learn the 3x3 macaroni trick?

@Sed4: Thanks. Trying the kern.
@BWM: Good idea. I'm thinking on it.
@Goatmeal: Thank you, master! Glad you like it.

Some glyphs detailed.
