Description:
A fun little typeface that I sketched out on some grid paper. With the exception on "M" and "W," the letters are contained within a 2x5 grid.

Yes, it has a certain something. Which comes out in the sample rather than the viewpane.
Have you finished the lower case? If so, I think you could add a few more: n could be an upside-down U, for instance. j like i,r is easy...

The sample works well, very comic book. Reminds me of Ryan Hughes' (Device Fonts) stuff. I agree with Intaglio, why not make a few more alternatives with lower case. Is it possible to do Y with a centered stem, like the T?

Great ideas. I've added alternate versions of y, r, g and j. I'll try to upload a new sample shortly.
