Finally, a non-monospaced version of Bevel'sAdvocateMono.
This font was started eighteen months ago, so I suppose the time has come at last to kick it out of the nest and let it fly.
I believe that several of these new glyphs are superior to those in my original monospaced font.

@djnippa: I couldn't find NCD Nasca Black in your FS portfolio. The sample looks very cool though.
The leg of the R should maybe terminate as the K leg. With a pointed end, I mean.
It's still a bl**dy marvelous piece of design!
As for the V vertex and X, they weren't planned in advance. I've stated before that I'm not an artist, and that I have never made preliminary sketches of any glyphs before starting a FontStruction.
It's absolutely true, therefore, that most of the angle connections and the beveled illusion were merely happy accidents that showed up as I plodded along, trying various ways of joining the parts of each character. This fact makes your gracious compliments even more gratifying, Ata!
I struggled for a long time with the legs of R and r. Every time I tried to maintain the diagonal all the way to the baseline, there seemed to be too much space between the R's bowl and the next letter. Your suggestion, seconded by Ray, caused me to try again. The elusive answer was so simple: I just needed to increase the width of the bowl to match the base of the diagonal leg. And for the sake of consistency, I have also widened the bowls of B, b, P and p to make them equal to those of R and r. I don't know why I didn't figure this out at once.
Thanks for encouraging me to improve my most intricate font!
Thanks for echoing Ata's constructive criticism concerning the diagonal legs of R and r. I hope you like my solution.
I've decided to return the bowl widths of B, b, P, p, R and r to their former dimensions. As for R and r, there will just have to be a tiny bit of extra space between their bowls and the letter that follows. If I employ your method of allowing the diagonal legs to straddle the green width line, there will be a spacing problem with any glyph whose lower-right corner is vertical; this includes A, B, D, E, F, H, K, L, M, N, P, R, W and X, and maybe some others. After all, nothing's perfect, right?
It might just be possible to pull the R leg (no pun intended) over just a few bricks to the right without causing undue spacing issues. In the image below, I've kept the width of the R glyph the same as you have now, but pulled the leg over to the right a bit. I did this in Adobe Photoshop® so I have no idea how many bricks that translate to in this fs, but the leg starts at where the bowl ends. Hope this helps.
Hopefully this illustrates what he means -
In my original R and r, each diagonal leg started a couple of bricks to the right of where they are currently located. I decided to shift them to the left a bit when I followed your advice about maintaining the diagonal all the way down. This was done to minimize the inevitable gap before the next letter.
To my eye, this is the best compromise to deal with this issue.
IMHO, the fonts that we made here they are all someway marked... by our own "egoism"... And that it's true. I use FontStruct to create a new way, a new font just because it isn't never made before that I try it... This is my way to let something living in the FS stream. And I'm happy being surprised for you all and your help, that "foolish" people like me! You all are making true ART day by day! Thanks.(And sorry for my theatrical style, please.)
