Description
This version contains all Capital and Lowercase letters, the numbers, most punctuation, some of the special characters, and some international characters by special request.

I wanted to see what I could do straight in Fontographer, so I made a bunch of straight lines into letters. I figured it would be pretty cool if they were curved out, or bloated a little. So I did that, and then decided to curve the inside parts of the letters back in. I may later take this and make some that are more swollen, but we'll just have to see about that.
