Description:
Effleurage brick massage. Sharp and curvy 6x10 grid space experiment. Weird spacing due to double size filtering in conjunction with half bricks makes this mostly unusable. But that's why there's alternate spaced letters instead of numbers...for now. The spacing is compensated to look better in actual use than on the preview. Minimal space tweaking was done on the sample, but wherever the spacing was really off (which was pretty much everywhere), the alternate space character was used. Alt spacing characters: a = 1 s = 2 x = 3 z = 4 Z = 5 S = 6 e = 7 o = 8 t = \ g = ^ s = | Ligatures: fi = @ ff = _ fl = # ffl = /

Usability is overrated, I say. Hah hah. A fantastic achievement. Wish I saw it first to give it a 10.
That g is a sensuous massage all by itself.

I really like following where these small grid experiments are taking you. I find myself looking at each glyph and attempting to recreate in my mind how you accomplished the build. Dig the ligatures.

@intaglio: Thanks. This and the next two sharp serif experiments are dedicated to you.

@afrojet: Thanks for noticing what's going on behind the bricks. The difficulty in fontstructing these experiments go easily unnoticed unless you've been there.
