I know Mr. H doesn't look as elaborate as the other letters but I also wanted to try some simple ones although I'm not sure if he's gunna stand out from the crowd. Thoughts?
Maybe I might need to fill in the white stems with a solid black and inverse the arrows?
This is amazing! I quite like this simpler style too - all of the details are so well thought out and perfectly placed. If you want it to be more consistent with the others you could certainly fill it in, but it looks great like this on its own too.
Such nice strokes, especially the ones come out from the right stem. Looking at this next to a few of your other ones, it does feel a little lighter because of the lack of fill. Rather than a solid black, maybe a patterned fill could work, like on Mr. R or A? (apologies if one of those is a Mrs.) That said, I do like the simplicity... Tough choice.
@Claire Thank you! I agree, I think I might need to add some decor inside those stems, it would add some spice to the Mr haha, I think A might be a Misses ;)
What about reversing like you suggested, with a linear fill above/below the crossbar and keep the arrows like you have now (in reverse)? (example of what I mean by 'linear': http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/astype/ademo/)
@Yael ah that can be an option, think I could do a full fill in on the stem with the inverse arrows. Thanks for the feedback!
*edit - I tried it on the pc to see how it would look I think it does look better so I'm going to re-ink it and fix some of the those cross bar strokes too
Another great one ! Simplicity is not a problem when each element is at the right place like here. Have you thought of making your cross stroke start from the top of the right stem instead of the bottom ? So Mr.H can't be mistaken for his cousin, Mr.N ;)
@Joachim Vu haha I'm creating a whole family, I haven't thought of that actually, that is definitely something I can try, wouldn't want Mr H look like Mr N now or that would be trouble. Thank you!
Inspired by black letter and Arabic, I think it's a little bottom heavy though but if I filled in the main stem it wouldn't look as elaborate as it does now. Also the diamonds towards the right the border around it is a little thick maybe if I made the border in the main stem thicker it could help with balance.

Thank you @Nayla! I think as an ordinary letter it could stand on its own but not with the others I guess. Think I may rework it :)
@Maira Glad you like my Mr.H ;)
