    This is a display face I've been working on for a while now. It's my first ever, so it's been quite a challenge. I've omitted the 'S' and 'Z' here because, well, they've been a pain in my ass.

    I'd love to have some super harsh critique, and if anyone would be game for emailing back and forth until this thing is done, I'd even be willing to release it, for free of course, under two authors.

    So...thoughts?

    I came to dribbble for the harsh critique (yes that was a veiled invitation) so I figure I'd apply the Golden Rule here.

    I don't think the O or the U needs a spur at all. They look a bit lopsided, and I think they will work without it. The M looks a little complicated, maybe the middle join could just come to a point.
    The P looks top-heavy, I think it needs a serif on the right.

    That all said, this is a really nice-looking display face.

    My super harsh critique is that this is bad ass. Now gimmme!

    I kind of like the asymmetrical spurs, actually...I think they add some originality and interest. I'm thinking the V seems a bit narrow and maybe the L is a little wide? Have you tried a version of the G that matches the top of the C?

    @Chadwick — I'll definitely try out your suggestions and see what I can come up with.

    @Nathan — Thanks, man. And yes, the G initially had the top of the C, but it wasn't working out for me. I definitely agree with you on the L, so I'll see what I can get done soon.

    Thanks to everyone for the kind words and suggestions.

    I dig this big time. I think the points tie it up pretty nicely.

    My super harsh critique is reserved for Jon, saying gay shit like "gimme!" It'd be cool if you kept your two-man Voltron off the dribbble.

    Actually, the spur in the O doesn't bother me, it's the one in the U. Look at it in the thumbnail view.

    Matt, thanks for your comment on reddit! This is looking great for your first! Some good suggestions were made above, only thing i would add is make the top counter of the 'B' smaller, so it looks more optically balanced (see this shot for reference).

    Keep it up!!
