Haha that text is very backwards. Why waste time designing a font and programming a font with OT features when you can easily write it with variety?

Joking aside, I quite like this. The presentation is also beautiful and clever.

One thing though, and it might be a big one. The italics don't look bad, but they're not italics. You gave the Roman a slant, which makes it an Oblique. If you want to make an Italic from an Oblique, you should modify some things, like making the bowls slope inwards more towards the stem and give the 'f' a descender. I wouldn't get rid of Oblique though. Perhaps make both available, if you think it's worth spending time on.

Thanks for the tip. I have come a long way in typeface design since doing this one, and learnt all about true italics etc. in the process! This is an example of my more recent work: [link]

I don't like the 'e' and the drop in 'O' is a bit too much I think, but other than that this is rather inspiring! I like the robust 't' and strange 'r'. This typeface reminds me a bit of Mrs Eaves.

Why won't you upload this one to deviantart?

It was designed to be quirky! I think I will upload the regular version here, that's a great idea.
