The sampler doesn't look much good because the breaks between bricks are too fine. Pity

Great job, but I think you need Afrojet to do you a sample. I think he'll work wonders with it. It's right up his street.

Amazing work with such a few bricks. The general design has a great modern feel. Have you tried an horizontal half square brick as lower bar for the E ?

Dude! This IS right up my street. In fact, I'm going to visit it on Halloween and get a pillowcase of candy from it, because IT is so sweet.

Sursly. That R! So simple so powerful. I want to sumo-wrestle it.

At first, I thought I saw a glyph here and there that I might suggest a change to, but after looking at your sample, I would not change a thing. Every word is a quirky fontabulous piece of art.

Great work, Tag. One question: is the T an homage to william's I in djangogh? Or is this some kind of fraternal brotherhood of the screw that you two are in on?

Phew! Thanks everybody, I'm adrenalized by your approval!
@igorrossi: yes, but I quite like the idea of a single rogue brick on a high-frequency glyph. E occurs so often, it creates its own authority even though it's completely out of whack with the rest of them.
@afrojet: I didn't realise williaum was back and living under an assumed name! I thought this font was mad but his takes the biscuit. Actually the T-glyph was the one I wrestled with! I can't think of anything better unfortunately.

I like the rhythm of black & white space in every word typed. Chevere!
