I have been working on uncial letterforms belonging to Andron for years. Maybe, its time for a release?
For a 1st preview please look here.

Latin, Greek, Coptic and Gothic (so far), sure you don’t leave things half done!

Perhaps that letters that are still cap form (/ONS/ sticks out in hamburgefonstiv) aren't "uncialed" enough? /S/ could be wider, and I would even try a top-heavy version (as you see in some insular scripts). /N/ could have a serif-life extension of the diagonal at lower right instead of the neat angle (or what about a humped form more akin to /m/?)
Maybe move the join of /T/ further right?
Descending beard of /G/ could use some strengthening.
I don't know enough about the other scripts to comment on specifics but they look nice!

Oh but I do. Andron is a big torso.
Craig, thanks for your comments. Youre certainly right upon the t (this is always a tricky one). I’ll see what to do with the others.

It's beautiful Andreas, will there be a webfont license to it in the future?

Perhaps. (I have not yet dealt with webfonts myself so far …).
Please get back if you have some specific need.
And thanks for the compliment.
