thanks frodo. good observation. i tried separating the white space in one glyph to see how it looks and you're right - another version is probably needed :) the name? oh, no particular reason, it came to me in a flash; but if you have an alternate name for consideration i would love to hear it :)

smile of the mind - i second that motion :) i think the danger in "working for a top pick" or even high votes is that it is quite delusional. how can i possibly know how someone will react to something no matter much tlc i give it? i've worked on stuff sometimes thinking this is going to be the next big thing and then plop. others i've just cranked out and been surprised at the reception. a case in point - molecular complex 1. i initially did molecular, but wanted to make it more than it was somehow. when i released molecular complex 1 and it took off i was like whoa. then i did mc2 which doesn't dl, so i moved on to the dense molecular series thinking how can i duplicate the success of mc1 - to no avail. and it's not that i'm disappointed artistically in how the fonts in that series turned out, or with tessellation 2, which led to soma, which i am also very satisfied with and has received a warm reception. my expectation whenever starting a font is nothing except to make it the best i can. yeah i think it might best thing ever and that everyone will love it. but i'm also realistic. at best, that type of fluffing is mainly to stay motivated; at worst, for strokin the artistic ego. my point, guess i can be as delusional as the next fontstructor. perhaps it's a survival mechanism for artists, needed for us to continue what we do regardless of how its received once released. most of the time while working here, i am filled with this joy - reminds me of your smile of the mind comment and also the saying about the journey being more important than the destination :)
