What do you think? It’s shite, isn’t it? Or at least really inconsistent.

It’s pretty cool

I like it.

A different “B” that is more reminiscent of the traditional character would be nice.

Outside the context of the alphabet, I wouldn’t be able to recognize it.

It lacks consistency and legibility. I know that that capital B is supposed to be a B, but I still can’t see it. Y and Z seem to have strange angles that contradict the test of the alphabet, hence the lack of consistency. Most of the lowercase letters look okay, nice and simple but p and q look way too complicated compared to the others.

1. I ran out of ideas for Y and Z (EDIT: Oh no actually I think I do have an idea for a Z). B is where I struggled, because all other configs looked generic and predictable (you take away the spine of the B and it looks like a 3, pull out the top curve and you get a lowercase b).

2. It seems to me as if I’m really shoddy with the diagonals. It isn’t uniform, too many angles used everywhere.

3. Initially the lowercase p and q were much simpler (a vertical line and a square) but it looked too much like a flag so I added a couple lines and now I screwed it up.

Alright, I made the revisions.

How’s that? Numbers are for later.

Honestly, I would probably be angry at anybody who sent me something in that font.

It’s a little reminiscent of the Standard Galactic Alphabet, to me. Although SGA is farther removed from normal. It’s an “alien” alphabet that was invented for Id’s Commander Keen series back in the ‘90s, and was revived by Notch for Minecraft.

Reminds me of nordic runes.

Plot twist: that is the ACTUAL Standard Galactic Alphabet, or at least part of it. Lord knows how many characters the real SGA have.

No, he’s from another crime group. I fired him in 2015.

Could I get a sans serif version of that?
