That's where I planned to leave it in private (and you're probably thinking that's where I should have left it). Check the creation date - it's been stranded for a while. 

This is the first in a set of text face experiments, and it reveals the beginnings of an evolution of high contrast fontstructing over a minimized grid space.  Not all glyphs are how I wanted them to be. Some may be hideous. The spacing is terrible. But as a fontstruction, this one really got me to push the bricks to develop some resemblance of a Times Romanesque sharp serif typeface. Many, many tricks had to come in to play to make this happen at its current state. Overlapping bricks, brick stacking, overlapping brick stacking. It's all in there. I learned a lot from this insane attempt just from the lowercase letter forms alone. I mean, just look at that g! Try it at your own risk. 6x8 grid space, Double XY. 

But don't worry, this is as bad as it gets. It does get better from here, but only a little bit, so don't get your hopes up.

I have minimized basic Latin, More Latin, extended Latin A&B, Greek, katakana, hiragana, Hangul, Cyrillic, Armenian, Hebrew, Georgian, Tamil, and Telugu. The katakana and Armenian are clean. The hiragana is a bit harsh due to the many intricacies in the strokes. If someone who knows whatever language uses those can discern one from the other, then it is good. Hangul lacks quality because the glyphs were simple enough that I jammed them closer. Tamil is big because of the loops(or so it felt).
