This is the best pixel font I've made by far, and with the most characters. I've worked on this for a while now, about 2 hours, maybe, doing all the mathy stuff.

Yeah! 25! Give it up for 25! Should I stop doing this every single time I make a font?!

Comment by SilverfishJockey 5th june 2015

Some advice:

1. Make the descenders of the same size as ascenders.

2. Remove that strange thing on the q.
(You're not making a ɋ, are you?)

3. Make the I look like ɪ, but of capital size.

4. Tame your diacritics.

1&4: Can you tell me what ascenders, descenders and diacritics are? XD
2: The thingy on the q is kinda natural. Some people usually like to write their q's that way, especially in cursive.
3: I don't want to change the I too much because: (1) I want to keep the 2x7 feel and (2) it would change some "More Latin" characters like the Í Dramatically.
2&3: Some changes to the normal alphabet could add some more "pizzazz" to your everyday font. I learned this while looking at williamtoon's curly brackets on his Pixel Mismatch font. Instead of curving out, they curved in. It gave his font a "unique feel", I said.
No offense regarding anything I have said (because I'm always afraid that someone will hate me for some random thing I've said (which happened several times already)) and I will play around with the q and I (perhaps the Í) and make a final decision.

@SilverfishJockey - Here is a great reference website where you can learn about the anatomy of typography. It's provided by the good people who sponsor FontStruct:

Hey, Goatmeal, that's a really nice glossary! Well-designed, with useful information! I didn't know about it... Thanks for posting that link!

I'd like to encourage you to continue fontstructing, and make better and better works. Your dedication to complete the extended Latin character set is admirable. However, typeface design is a complex business. It has a learning curve. When members give you advice on how to improve your font, they do it for good reason, and you'd better to listen to them. In doing so you can pick up useful bits, tricks, and quickly learn as you go.

There is nothing wrong with adding some pizzazz to your letters, but make sure they are all in the same style. No letter is an island. They ought to work in concert to produce the best looking text.

@Goatmeal Thanks for the link! No, seriously, THANKS! I'm sure this will help me.

@Frodo7 Thanks for the encouragement and advice. I just don't know how to incorporate all of that cool stuff. I made the descenders 4 pixels tall because I wanted to add that little fancy g. And I understand that the 2-pixel tall ascenders look weird with it. I can't find a way to make the ascenders higher (or the descenders lower without overexerting myself or my mother yelling at me to get off the computer (you know what I mean...).

@opipik now that I know what diacritics are, what do you mean by taming them?

Thanks to all of you. I can try to use this for my better fonts and only use the little fancy g when I need to.

Anything I left out?
