Doesn't look very legible at small sizes, but still readable

@ tortoiseshell, elmoyenique, and Bryndan W Meyerholt (BWM): Thank you for your comments and generous ratings. This font is designed for headlines and short bits of texts in large sizes. It is not recommended for long passages in small sizes. 

It took me a week to complete the extended Latin set. A separate Cyrillic set has been created, but it won't be ready for this competition.

Dear Frodo, 
Bam! This is a real heavy piece of work. Here, each character uses the space that was given to him. Each character - a statement. 
The superscript and subscript figures are very well placed and emphasize the strength of this font even more. 10/10.

@Beate: Thank you for your kind comment and rating. Yes, you hit the nail on the head with your statement. Someone said about heavy fonts, that it means leaving very little white space. Apart from the sub- and superscript, I made a third set of small numbers sitting on the baseline. Combining these, and the superscript numbers, plus the forward slash in between, one can create any possible fractions. Anglo-Saxons love fractions. Europeans prefer decimals.

It was a good practice and learning opportunity to make all extended Latin characters. Tennessine Slab now supports Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, and Latin Extended-A Unicode blocks. There are a few omissions: ʼn, IJ, and ij, as they can be generated easily from existing characters with better spacing. I'm not sure about the ¶ (pilcrow) symbol. It would be such a monster glyph. Given the heavy nature of this font, designed for headlines mostly, there would be hardly any practical use for it.

Beautiful work, very useable and so consistent and complete!

The asterisk (outline view, blue) approximates the angles of a regular pentagon (superimposed, pink) reasonably well.

I replaced the commas with a heavier version. They look a lot better.
