My brother creates visual lighting performances. He talks a lot about particles, pointillism and images that are created from light. This led me to start with dots. I started with thick bold letters made up of rows of dots. I wanted to show that the placement of dots was important as it formed the letter. I felt this links to my theme, systematic. From a distance the letterforms however looked uninteresting and basic. I used a previous font as my template. I wanted to push myself and create my own font. It was after this that I saw a singular letterform in the Jigsaw catalogue that inspired me. I changed my idea to single outline of dots to form the letter. Then created another outline around it. Drawing on my original inspirations I can see my typeface being used for signage with lighting, as the dots can be replaced with lights.

I think some letters are a bit hard to read as too close. Increase the letter space: while in the fontstructor go into preview mode, you'll find a box 'spacing' where you click on 'global' and slide the button to about number 2 (see if the spaces between letters are ok, then save the fontstruction). You also need a good space between words. Set that in the menu >> view >> letter width and then go to the word "space" between the letters and numerals. Move the thicker green line on the right to about 1/2 the width of your letters and check that the word space is good when you type a sample 2 or 3 words, then save fontstruction.
And finally: continue fontstructing! :)
You might need to look at the placing of a few glyphs - the D looks to be below the baseline, whilst the S is above it.
For even height/width: in the fonstructor go to menu>> view>> extra guides. Thin green horizontal and vertical lines appear; move them with the mouse to the height/width you want. For more lines click on the + that becomes visible when hovering over the green lines.
