the design is in its very early stages, and a long time since I tried to draw anything, hint yes, but draw no, so it is rough ;) it will probably take me many moons to finish it. any comments good or bad are welcome. mike

Nice :)
I like the overall look of it, even if it's Greek to me ;)

thanks. I updated it to include some cap designs. I wont post any further, until I have some progress to show :)

Are you planning to offer alternate letter shapes?
I ask, because other Irish typefaces I’ve seen look generally a bit more latinised (carolingian?) than yours. For example, I found only one with an “insular s” (ꞅ), but then it has a stick-and-circle |a|...

yes I hope to add alternates via opentype, with the less common offered as alternates, and more common as default. thanks again for the comments and questions.
