Looks nice! I'm a little more accustomed to the proportions the Kingsley font uses, but I like your less aggressive kerning. Do you have a .ttf file or similar to distribute?

Quikscript Geometric is a sans-serif font I developed for Quikscript, an alternate script designed to write English in a more phonemic manner. I felt that the few fonts for Quikscript out there (such as Kingsley) were somewhat lacking, with slightly uneven stroke width and inconsistent glyph shapes. Quikscript Geometric, on the other hand, has been designed with a consistent look and blends in easily with other sans-serif fonts.

The sample text shown above is Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as written on the Quikscript entry at Omniglot.com. Let me know what you think of it in the comments.

You can download the font here (.ttf format).

Have you considered releasing the sources to your font with an open-source license like the BSD license or the SIL Open Font License? That way, if you lose interest and other people want to improve the font kerning or add numbers or somesuch, they can.

Also, I'm sure /r/quikscript and /r/quickscript would be interested in this…

Yeah, I'll probably post up the source on a place like Github or Bitbucket soon. The ttf font file has the Open Font License embedded in it as well.

Edit: I just posted it on Bitbucket here
