Now working on a serif font design.

Actually, perhaps serif is an inadequate term for this level of decoration.

Anyway, I was playing with design ideas for a serif typeface, and after a few rounds of messing around, this is where I landed for the first glyph, a lowercase a.

Update: After doing the next couple of characters, I realized that the a is too tall: I inadvertently designed it to the cap height. That probably means that the character would need to be redesigned if I decide to go ahead and finish the font.

Thoughts? Is this worth turning into an entire typeface?
