This is slick!

I'm not crazy about the overhang on the f though. Did you try shifting the s down a bit so you can complete the top? Maybe the same thing for the e too...

i agree with that "f" issue, but "s" and "e" are wonderful. maybe the irregularity in "m" needs to be thought over...
very neat font you put out there.

Thank you for your comments! The e and s are the way they are because I drew all the other characters first at the current x-height, and so I had to compromise because of the grid. But I ended up liking the way they turned out, so I'm happy with them.

I fixed the f, m, and w. I agree with your comments, I think they look better now.

Please take a look at my other fonts and let me know what you think!
