Love it. Some really inventive glyph building going on here that's produced a typeface full of flavor. Love the '3'. I'll take an order of rings and a Milkshake, please.

That's absolutely great and just so readable ... I can almost hear the sizzle of the griddle.

We have both come out with a round ended design on the same day ... but your definitely wins, especially in the characterfulness stakes :)

Thanks afro.

I've been doing a lot of large-grid stuff lately and it was fun to do something on a small scale.

Nice use of the shapes. Great job! :)

My only instant reservation is that the W looks too much like an upside down M.

Nice job! very readable.

Thanks Youssef. The W was different originally, and for some reason I changed. After your comment, I decided to change it back.

I move the old W the |.

I can see why you're swithering over the w. Both forms have just about equal whimsical charm.

Congratulations on such a handsome result with only a handfull of bricks. Bet you were pleased with the k and x.

Thanks intaglio.

Actually I was rather unsure about the k and x. I mean, I think they're good enough by themselves, but I didn't know how well they fit in here. Ultimately, I couldn't do much else to them with the bricks I had available.

My personal faves are the Q, S, a, e, m, n, s, and 3.
