I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I could be accused of having curiosity a mile wide and an inch deep (something Americans are accused of). I'd be good at gameshows -- I have a smattering of knowlege in a lot of subjects. I used to be able to identify zillions of fonts at a glance but passing fashions and Father Time are fighting over which gets to defeat me first.

my first attempt, so it isn't a real font at all. in a previous life, perhaps I was a governess. I can't imagine what you'd use it for, but you never know...

a silly sixties-style font. I've got a different notion for the l/c characters which I've yet to get to.

It's childish but I want to be one of the first to use the sexy new bricks! I'm rushing to market before everything is ready. Again.

My but this game is addictive. I wasn't going to bother with a l/c but couldn't stop myself. When am I going to give in with those diagonals...

I can see I'm on a hiding to nothing with that damned cap "S". The lower case s is -- sort of-- acceptable, but it will be a miracle if I can avoid an ugly transition between angles in the x-bar.
So near and yet so far. All the cap single bowled letters could do with a more curvaceous aspect. If I manage to beat the "S" into shape I might have to take on the challenge.
Talk about a sucker for punishment.This is a clone

A very enjoyable exercise. I'll attempt an upper case, too... but not at 12.00pm.

A cross-dressing Compacta. It seems every time a design with a gazillion bricks fails to save (slantfest)I just have to knock off one that uses as few bricks as I can manage. So far both of these "harrumph" reactions have turned out pretty well.
Is this telling me something....?

This is half-baked, but hey. I'm (reluctantly) going to have to forego some of those pesky diagonals because they're looking just a shade on the wrong side of weird. Particularly in the caps.

Trying (sort of) irregular forms. Interesting to see how the screen representation misbehaves at various magnifications. Pity the printed thing won't do the same.
