Little experiment of mine, trying to design a script font that really connects all the letters. As you might guess from the quality of the uppercase, I started with lowercase and had quite some trouble finishing the uppercase... And I know there are (obviously) always the connection strokes peaking out at the end any word, but funnily this imperfect look has started to grow on me during the fontstructing.

I also know there are still lots and lots of inconsistencies and letters that badly need a rework, but I thought the constructive criticism of my fellow fonstructors might be more helpful and efficient at improving this... So I'm grateful for any suggestions!:)

Oh, and yes: The kerning is very painful at times, but I can't see how I can improve that under the constraints of the script and the character forms. And obviously the script thing doesn't work with uppercase only text.

T'es vraiment fort Shasta!

From my point of view, Kerning with only Uppercase is not a problem. Many Pro font have the same approach with Fancy Script Uppercase

Really sweet and professional looking font. 10/10.

I can't believe it's still script. It's serif - but sans, it's gothic - but script. 10 stars and fav.

Wow. A blackletter script. Now there's something you don't see everyday. I like the tension inherit in the forms as they struggle to find balance between modularity and fluidity. Nice job.

Great achievement in adding some playfulness to a blackletter font!

The only weak point I can detect is the linking in the F, P and Y letters: I know it's a tricky issue myself in modular connected script font, but using a fake bezier curve is like surrendering to the challenge.

Such an excellent result ... a very successful experiment indeed! 10/10

I love this font! It is absolutely amazing. May I suggest, however, that you add more punctuation? Personally I feel that it's a bit of a shame that you don't have an exclamation mark, question mark, semicolon, colon, apostrophes and all those other lovely things in there.
