P22 most likely drew its inspiration from this poster by Milton Glaser (1966), and from the complete font Glaser made from the lettering, named Baby Teeth :

Nice FS version.
Always loved that font (and the poster)

A great take on a real classic. There are some amazing diacritcs.

The X seems to stand out a bit. Maybe it's less substantial than the other glyphs.
