This week's font, "Doppio" is sort of ridiculous. Working under time constraints, woo?

That is super cute!

I am a bit perplexed that P, R, V and W don't have the same x-height as everything else, though.

Er? V and W have anomalously high "x-heights" and A's is anomalously low. Otherwise the triangly bits get eaten up too much.

Which is to say every other letter that has a slice through it has a slice exactly (or very nearly exactly) through its middle.

Hm, ok. P and R look weird to me, but sure. Anyway, I like this a lot!

It's got a kind of Aurek-besh flavor to it, especially the 'k'.

I also got a "general sci-fi" feeling from it.

I'm wondering how the S and Z would look with shorter inner-legs (preserving the rectangualarish silhouette, but making the curves flow a bit more into the opposing leg).

doesn't seem entirely internally consistent, i.e. C, D, I, J, L, O, T, U lack the cutesy sci-fi doubleness. but i like the forall V! V forall and allfor A!
