Okay, made an alternative set. If people like these samples, I'll make the changes to all other ogonek-containing characters.

I've used the guidelines I've found for doing so. Euphoria Script is a hybrid font anyway, but I'd like readability first, as I think the base characters contain enough visual flare to keep with the theme.

Thoughts?

Thanks Krzysztof, I like the ogoneks on the a, e, and E,
the A however, I'd prefer to stick with traditional ogonek off the right leg/foot of the A, in accordance with:


I'll work up an alternative for this one.

Thanks for your help!

The placement of ogonek on Ą is somewhat unorthodox, but it would be
natural to write this way by hand, and I think everyone will recognize
it. The loop in Ę may be a little too big. That being said, ą and ę
never occur at the start of a word, so Ą and Ę would only ever occur
in all-caps words, something we would absolutely never do in our
branding.

Best regards, Krzysztof
