The A is way too tall. Other than that, it's great!

I look forward to seeing much more of this :)

Thanks guys
BTW what kind of & sign should I use?
Comment by truth14ful 4th april 2012
As you're doing this on a large scale and already have such beautiful curves, I'd suggest a normal ampersand (&), since it's usually difficult to do on FS.

Very nice font, although there seems to be some grey "grid" visible on some zoom levels. A's bar could be slightly lower, and Q's tail may be a bit too long. Keep going!

I agree with Yautja about the '&' and the 'A'.

Are the different heights/lengths of some characters ('I' 'J' 'T') intentional?

I would also optically adjust the curved characters - 'C' 'G' 'O' 'Q' 'S') so that they are a wee bit above and below the 'X' height. This would make them appear to be the same height as the other characters.

Would the 'S' benefit from being just a bit wider? - 1 or 2 squares maybe.

Thanks everyone!
At the beginning I thought it would be a good idea to have a difference in cap-height to aid legibility, but Qimplef was right, the tall A didn't work well. I did make some letters slightly higher or lower , to make them look like they were drawn more forcefully. I decided to skip the & for now and choose what to do with it later.
I lowered the bar of the A slightly (1 or 2 bricks I think) and made S a little wider too. I might go back and change Q's tail, depending on what the u looks like. But I decided not to adjust C, G, O, and Q because these letters already have a small flat area on the top, bottom, left, and right edges to help with pixel display. This seems like a better solution. Also, the capital letters are only meant to be used at the beginning of a sentence, not for all-caps setting. I hope to eventually make a small-caps version for this purpose.

Amazing! Very clean and I support for the completion of this font :) 10/10
Comment by cablecomputer 12th april 2012
This font is great! Very clean, and I especially love the Q! May I recommend doing the same thing but backwards on the S? :D
