Description:
Named for the composer of music for Sergio Leone's "Spaghetti Westerns".

Steeper diagonals achieved by setting vertical scaling to 2. Alternate A, V, and W with overshooting apexes. Alt S without serifs. Figures on the way.

Still needs work, especially on the K and Z. Suggestions welcome.

Here's a showing.

Update:
- Improved space width.
- Added basic punctuation.
- Added subtle curves to counters on round shapes like the G, P, B. Not sure about this one, let me know what you think.

Oh don't worry about copying. This style was around long before either of us.

To scale your bricks open the "Filters" palette from the "Advanced" menu.
