This is just the first preview version of a font I've been working on for a long time now, shown with an excerpt from my current NaNoWriMo novel. There are still a lot of glyphs I need to add, but I wanted to go ahead and put up what I have since I think it's still somewhat usable as it is, depending on your purpose. I'll update the deviation whenever I get around to this (which could be a while).
Lumaro is Esperanto and means "an array of lights" or "hiring sea" by some stretch. It's just a name I made up for no reason, but I thought it fit.
Come to think of it, the sea might make an awesome employer. I think I'd enjoy the job, anyway.
Feel free to use this font in deviations or whatever else, even commercially. Just please give me a link. Yes it says noncommercial, but that means the font itself. Don't sell it. I mean, it's not yours. But if you use it in something you create, that's a totally different thing. I'll probably write my own license soon.

OOOOH I DIN'T
Snap.
I like the R.
I like the <R> too. I decided to go with a similar design to my other font, where I'm told it didn't fit in as well, but I thought I could do it better here.
I suspect the n h and u look wide because the o and maybe also the e d and b are too narrow. The a seems about right.
The g looks like it is a small animal trying to hide.
Maybe a wider A would be better.
Just some things I would play with to see if they helped. You might prefer a more condensed appearance than I do.
Though, I kind of like my g.
I usually tend to go too wide, so I approached this design with the intent to condense it a lot. It definitely helped, but I guess it's just not totally consistent.
You would want something different, for Lumaro, which is more lapidary than calligraphic, but it's the idea.
The S seems kind of sagging, too. I think I need to learn a lot more about S, myself, it's hard for me to see the shape of an S.
