Thanks guys. I'll work up a non-perf'd version as well, but I think it will have some significant differences to this font: raised x-height, thinner horizontals in the uppercase, etc,.

I'm probably going to be singing that INXS song in my head all day now. As for font...it's just superb. The shapes are well executed and the perforations well place. The Y is just the perfection in perf placement efficiency.
