(And here goes a new font!
This font may be weird-looking, indeed, but it has this particularity to be read the same even if mirrored (if you put the mirror just below the text) as each single glyph is symmetrical following the X-axis (the baseline).
The R, the lowercase Y and some of the numbers were true challenges but I had fun doing them all anyway.
I wanted to do an ambigram-ish font and here it is. Well, good luck trying to do an actual ambigram out of this but this could surely be helpful for a number of other things. You to choose!
EDITS:
1. Improved the $ and tried to improve the Y/y.
2. Re-improved the $ and the Y/y, also improved the U/u and the n.
3. Improved the 2. And edited a bit the b and the h.
4. Improved 1 and 7.
5. Edited the F and the y for them to look less "out" of the font. (May not being an improvement.)

Amazing execution of an idea very tough to fulfill. I especially love R/r, Z/z, and g. Some letters don't work as well as the rest (U/u look almost like A/a, Y and 2 are almost illegible), but I don't see any real way to improve these. I will suggest putting the points on $ at the center of the top and bottom rather than the corners. Overall, 9/10 + fave
Thanks for the comment and the tip. For the $, I was following a 10-cells grid but yeah it should be better if I put them like you said.
For the other letters, I'm still searching for improvement, especially for those you mentionned. But hey, it'd be not fun if it was all easy.
Stay tuned for letters updates.
Very nice updates. The Y is much more legible now. I may have liked the old y a bit better (don't remember exactly what it looked like though), but it's good to have it match the uppercase version. The U/u look slightly better now--you can't really get any further from A/a because the top has to be the mirror of the bottom. The 2 is more legible than before as well. The only one left that doesn't work too well is the 7...

Thanks. However, I may have to owe you an explanation about why I changed the lowercase y... Well, in fact it was a misunderstanding of your first message, but there was also another reason. The old y, as well as the old 1, the current F and the current W/w bug me a little like if they were out of the rest of the glyphes' style. If you like the old version of the y better I can put back it as I think I'm able to make it match the overall style. (I may ask you if the letters are still okay after they'll be updated to match the style.)
Still about the style, I find the U/u nice enough to be let alone now, even if indeed I couldn't get really further even if I wanted to. Though I think the fact the two vertical bars aren't of the same height may insist on the fact they aren't actually attached at the top and the bottom like the ɑ.
Now, for the 7, I've an easy way to make that letter more Legible.
