Great stuff. I really love the lowercase...m, n, u, and x are great.

The word "minimum" in your sample makes me weak in the knees.

While I totally agree with the 10/10 comment (Great work, Axel :), I did not post the comment directly above. It's some glitch, in the FontStruct back end (a true Ghost in the Machine). I only say this now because the comment directly above is nice, but someday some nasty comment may be mis-labeled as coming from me. Let me state this for posterity that no matter what happens, I, minimum, will never say anything bad about anyone's creative output and hard work.

Since there's no other place to ask it, I'll ask it here in the comments of the top rated font: Who created the fontstruct logo? What's the story behind it?

I like this font a lot at the very moment I laid my eyes on it. It looks classy and poetic. Perfect old-fashioned style.

On using this font the kerning/spacing really needs addressing. It isn't constant between letters.

@ djnippa: "Yes... You're right, it needs a better kerning/spacing...but there's not much possibilities in this range with the fontstruct tools... Problems come when putting toghether two round letters combination like: oc,bd,pq... Neither solution I've tried was ok, so I've choose the one that affect less glyphs combinations. Any recomendations & ideas about this issue are welcome! Meanwhile, the people who want to use this font are going to need making some adjustments on it.
