Details

Description:
I thought there was more potential in this font. So I streamlined the glyphs a bit to get a consistent look. I've also added a nearly full set of European and a complete set of Russian characters.

Good stuff. I really like the E, X, Z, and x. The @ is good too.

Cool. Didn't Prof T. invent the most beautiful words.

very nice... i like that "tangram look" of fontstructions that were made only with the basic bricks.
and respect for the cyrillic set!;)

Looking good. Bonus points for venturing into the cyrillic alphabet! :-)

I miss the ascender on the ф. And maybe the space is a bit too wide?

Thank you for pinpointing the missing ascender. I merely followed the cursive tradition, which does not have that feature. But you are absolutely right. I also reduced the space.

Fantastic! Great to look at and a real 'tour de force'
