An ambigram I started drawing today. It's a tough one...there's 1 letter that repeats most often, and it's drawn in three different styles and two different cases...what a pain!
The 'rer' stood out immediately, absolutely love how you've drawn it. The middle 'R' in particular with its really high waist is beautiful. I also see an 'a' as the second letter but I'm guessing from what @Jack said, that's not exactly it.. Just really want to get that first letter!
@Jeff Jenkins, @Claire Coullon, you guys are good kind. I consider this ambigram a failure because it's not barely legible & barely readable. So right now, it's just an exercise. ;)
As for what it says....it says "FEDERER"
@Kishan Patel, sorry to disappoint ya. But yes I am a guy. Deal with it. :D
I couldn't read the first three letters, probably because the first E is very thin and very close to the F, for the needs of the ambigram, but this last R is Real !
Damn, I do see it now. Don't know how I missed 'D' in particular but you're right though, it's probably the mixture of upper/lowercase. For the first 'E', I wonder if you could extend the serif-y bits (amazing terminology again) slightly to make them more obvious as crossbars. I don't think it would affect the recognisability of the 'R' since that letter was quite noticeable anyway. (That said, I'm definitely no amibgram expert).

Ambigrams are hard to do, so I applaud you! Is it 'fairer'?
