Dear TypeDrawers, 

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to present my new typeface that I designed and developed recently, I would like to get feedback about my typeface and I want to know where do I show my font file for you to download it and test it? I'm not quiet sure about the kerning it still needs work. 

Your support is highly appreciated.

    The round letters need an overshoot, top and bottom.

    Thanks George for your feedback, I'll work on that, Any ideas how it works here to give my font file for testing?

    I think emailing it to anyone who wants to test it is the best way. If you post it publicly, it will get pirated.

    Maybe take a second look at the widths of some of the characters. I like how wide /A and /V are, but many of the others look much too narrow in comparison — particularly /H/U/M/W.

    Thanks Austin, actually all of them are measured and should be the same width. I'll revisit all characters again to make sure about that.

    It should be proportional. I mean, it's okay monospaced, but would be fantastic if you judged on the feeling of width, not the measurement of width.

    That's a very good point Philip, I've been adjusting it one by one, 

    btw, are you interested in testing my typeface if I send you the file to your e-mail?

    Yes, and may introduce some extra polish to really make it shine.
