Description:
Based on the lettering on the front of the 1978 edition of the Scoutmaster's Handbook. Since the original sample only contained "ABCDEHKMNORSTU-", I had to design the rest from scratch.

Eminently usable semi-slab on slab serif face. In a display setting, any niggling diagonal details could be quickly tweaked in Illustrator. Simply marvelous puncuation from the awesome asterisk to the cool comma/quote/tick mark combination! 9/10

Love it.

Only (very slight) quible ... the diagonals on the X and x look a tad thin.

This is cool. I agree with p2pnut about the diagonals on the x and X. If you're willing to use brickstacking, you could do something like this.

I know you have been around here for ages, but here is djnipps's how to about Brick Stacking. Not trying to teach my granny to suck eggs - just in case you haven't used it before :)

My last post would have made far more sense if I had included the address:
