This typeface i'm designing is slightly inspired by black letter.
I need the decide on a better way to design the Z and X. I've tried to follow the same angles on either sides
of the letterforms, but the Z and X just aren't working... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
I think the "z" might actually be workable. For the "x", introduce a vertical segment.

Thanks for your input, really appreciate it.
Think this is any better?
It's driving me mad, I would like it to conform to the other angles.
When I said "vertical" I meant... vertical. :-)
Not as archaic as this

but something like a stem with sprouts.

Maybe take a look at these for some ideas/inspiration:

Here is the final typeface, I had to start again as the forms were too condensed for me. Any C+C would be very helpful. Thank you.
