i and j seem to be getting it on. Lovely.

Great use of the medium to produce such curvilicous glyphs.

Wow, another classic!
I like it so much I could not resist and cloned it to see how it was made.

(I also created a variation, but I'm not sure if it's OK to share it as it is a rip-off of this original font...)

Thanks everyone for the positive mojo.
@Em42: I think there's a ton of variation that could play out with this technique so I would encourage you to clone, remix, and share. Mooch, although not technically a Fontstruct clone, borrows (rips-off) heavily from Paul's Structurosa.

Thanks for the reply, Afrojet: I just shared my variation (Mango). I hope you appreciate it.

Such an ingenious use of dark matter in the 1.85 universe.

Surprise, Surprise. This is something I would have expected from Thalamic. Way to step up the 'structing skills. I know how tricky this one can be. There's lots of fun to be had at the 1.8x scale. Curvilicious indeed.

Lovely typeface, the use of brickscalling and overlapping is outstanding, I thought that the way you go here was impossible... but..
