Your thought process: "Well I was working on my new logo, so I made an N and S, and then I figured what the hell, only 24 more letters to make the whole alphabet, why not". I think that is awesome. And the fact that you then continued to make the lowercase, where most people would probably just stop and call it a display face with only uppercase. That is really awesome. I am inspired.
My mistake, I guess you made the lowercase for that OTHER typeface you made while working on your logo. So how about this: "I was working on my logo, and then I decided to just make two typefaces, no biggy". Badass.
Dude! This rules! I agree with Dennis, your approach to this is admirable. I could see these two lettersets right at home in a House Industries collection. You've got a talent, Sire!
Slick stuff Nick! Loving that tail on the 'Q', and the curves on the 'N/M'. 'S' feels a little sharp / bulky next to the rest of the characters...but 'S's are always tricky.
Thanks everyone for the kind words! But, really I love designing and creating new things and I am only satisfied if others enjoy my work! I wouldnt say my approach is admirable but, I think we all should go through and finish a project even it is hard. If you dont like it you can always come back to it. This font is still in a early stage but, I hope I can get it in finished in place I feel comfortable at!
I really like how this is looking, but I have just a couple suggestions. There are two serifs (one on middle-right the S & one on the top-right the Z) that seem weird and I feel like the O and Q should be rounded similar to the G.

Thanks Inka :D If I can only create something as clever as Green inks logo, with how the G and I are together, that would it be sick!
