M N W look out of place and look too heavy.
R and K legs to relate more.
I would also have tried to balance the widths of the H N U characters.
The LJ combination in LJUNBERG looks a tricky one, particularly from a distance.
Generally spacing needs some work and attention.

I wouldn’t waste your breath with Dyer... he’ll never get himself fit!

off the bat, the Y seems a bit tall, the Z falls a touch to the left, and the flick on the U seems arbitrary. The X is way too wide. The W looks like a reflection of the M?

by tall, I meant that the join in the two diagonals is uncomfortably high.

Hi Tom,

Legible from a distance?
yep

Even colour?
N, Y and W too heavy, A slightly heavy, M functional but lacks stylistic integration

Any strokes look too fat or thin compared to the rest?
N verticals and joints, joints at baseline of W

Do any curves look strange?
nothing overtly strange, but “wierd is good” in the sense that a lot more can be done with the curves you’ve got. There’s a tameness and repetition that leaves a feeling you are holding back something more interesting. For example, the asymmetric theme used on E, F, L could be applied to the curves of C, G, O, Q, P, R, S—-a faint wiff of Revue.

Any letterforms ’out of place’?
N structure/style and heaviness, same for W

What characters don’t sit next to each other well?
need to see more combinations, set words. N and W fail to integrate with most others.

Luke, Dyer’s going to come good and when he does we’ll be challenging for top 6!

Thanks for the input guys, I will be looking at sorting it out and then I will post back soon.

Thanks, Tom

I agree with most of James’ comments. The W shouldn’t be a mirror image of the M — start from the V to build the W. And M and W are too dark. What if the center point of the M didn’t descend all the way to the baseline? Take the diagonals from the Y and put them in the M.

Also, the 4 is too narrow.

Now I want to see some lowercase. :)

This is a great start. I’m excited to see some lowercase as well.
