Is the /e shown here an alternate version? Was wondering if there was a reason for it not to have its thingy horizontal (please forgive my vast typographic vocabulary) like the /a... not that i mind, I like the whole thing. just wondering, really.
@Dado Queiroz No, it's not. The embryo of the font was an upright italic: with low connections on *nhm and *dbpq, asymmetric *vy, *k and, of course this *e. Everything changed for the sake of readability, this one stayed for the sake of originality. But I've also found it easier to distinguish from *a too.
Cool! Thanks for sharing the process. And congrats, I'm all pro these mixes, especially when they come to be in such an organic manner. Seems to give the whole thing a lot of character.
