I see Jesus, Moses, and a bunch of British people. Who do you see?

I want to see people with "i" and "o" in real life.

I predict that in seven years this font will have entirely replaced Times New Roman.

It's pretty incomplete without punctuation. Which is good, I guess, since they'd pretty much have to make a beard like a "."
And you know who else had a beard like a "."?
That's right.

That was more of a hyphen really. For a period you'd need one of these.

Sorry 'bout the derail, but it has to be said.
I see Jesus, Moses, and a bunch of British people
OK Americans- Fucking stop with calling all people of the British Isles "British". Do you mean English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish?
It happens all the time - "Oh, like he spoke with a British accent" there is NO British accent.
In the case of the beard font, I suspect you mean Scots or perhaps Irish, as English people cannot grow proper beards- fact.

Umm... First off, if you live in Great Britain, I am going to refer to you as a British person. You know that 300 continuous years of union you've got going would seem to take the controversy out of that one. Besides, if I hear French (of the non-Quebecois variety) I don't differentiate between where they are from. It is enough to simply say French. A British Accent is seemingly large category, but no different than saying American Accent, which also covers a wide swath of dialects.

Sir Robert Cecil would like a word with you.

OK.
This wins top prize for being the most irresistible can't-not-click fpp.
Though saying that, I was disappointed in the actual product. I was expecting something... more bristle-y.

Oh...I feel very foolish asking this, but how does one acquire this font? Is it downloadable, or just for us to look at?
