Thanks for the comment. I've tried to curl the brackets but no success, I have to work it and do some spacing.
What's wrong with the guillemets?

I mean it's kind of hard to make for example an extended period, exept by spacing... should I just leave some glyphs identical in different widths of the face, like punctuation and math signs, if yes, which ones?
The guillemets, I think they're too narrow and too tight. The ampersands, they're all nice. But maybe the regular one (the first from left to right) is the more useful.

Now I understand your question. In fact it's a good question. I guess my answer to this question is no, don't make glyphs identical through different widths. An extended typeface usually should be slightly heavier than its lighter companions, for optical compensation.

Which ampersand?

I guess I got too much into condensing with the guillemets. I have to open them more, and even more for the extended versions.

That's a good answer, Thanks
