Can I just have a T please?

Before:


Makeover:

Disappointingly, my newly-designed Lit Crit Medium font looks if anything slightly more elegant than the original handwriting from which it was derived. I was hoping to recapture some of the original's drawn-left-handed-in-blood quality. Admittedly I'm lacking a number of capital letters too. I'm also trying to think of a way to provoke the author into scrawling numbers. At present, I'm limited to Roman numerals. Mostly in lower case, too.

I suppose completing a font is very much like collecting stickers for the old Panini sticker albums. Except that you can't swap letters with your mates to complete the set. Or send off for the last fifty. Hmmm.
