The original version of this font seemed to have a problem with line spacing while I used Word® . A space was automatically inserted before ; and : and occasionally the , . For a reason I don't undertand any line of text using these glyphs slipped down a few pixels which made the pages of text look untidy and reading quite unpleasant.
I haven't seen any reason for this, found no slipped bricks below the base line or above the highest diacritic's edge nor did I see a brick at the left or right of a glyph nor did I 'misalign' glyphs. In desperation I have changed the position and shape of the 'problematic' glyphs as well as some descenders, ascenders and height of some diacritics. I'll check tomorrow if this has improved spacing. BTW, this problem doesn't show up in the font preview of the Fontstructor nor in the 'My Fontstructions - user input'
It is possible that my eyesight is bad, or that I was too tired when checking this font and its parent version. If you happen to spot or know what caused this erratc line spacing please let me know, thanks🤝

Very good. I was the person who commented in Cadoulenx, without foundry. Nice to meet you.
@Aeolien - Wonderful design as always. So good to see you back! :^)
@Aeolien: Welcome back. We missed your presence and regular commenting. This font has a kind of hand-drawn feel. Not perfect yet, but very nice. 10/10
Welcome back, dear Aeo. Very nice font, I'm with @Goatmeal and @Frodo7 about your special and usual -IMHO- "hand-draw feeling" (and I like a lot these pretty dingbats too). Congrats on the well deserved TP!
🙂👍
nice
Probably the fastest top pick in years.
Shouldn't the copyright say 2026 as it's the year 2026…
it does
Thanks all, I'll reply to all your kind comments tomorrow ! My husband questioned the LC "a" and some serifs. I'm changing them but as it's late I need to get some sleep so I'll put this font into overnight hiding. It'll be done for tomorrow
Thank you Meek for the TP, I was surprised as I knew there were problem areas which would need patience and testing, to be reworked successfully; I feel honoured 🫶
Thank you for all your kind comments, I do miss Fontstructing when I'm out of ideas and out of situations that inspire. In the cold season I'm also rather stuck in a cloud of tiredness which feels like hibernating (although I'm not a bear.....) @Elmo: for you I'm redesigning the writing implements from delicate squiggle look to things that can write for kilometers 😉@ Bryndan: I've corrected the date, you're right that it needs to be precise (and it feels good to be 'in the correct year' 😎)
i think the problem was with Word (R)
Effective mix of stroke weights and some lovely icons.
