Save space!
This typeface can save a lot of space because it ignores vowels when entering text. If at all needed, you can type a capital letter by using the shift key. That will insert one of the small capitals which also exist for vowels.
You can download FF Mt for free here.
Character set for FF Mt.
Interesting stuff. Is this one of your designs?

Yes, this is FF Meta, without vowels: FF Mt. I couldn’t give away somebody else’s font.

It was indeed. But that date passed so quickly that it didn't get noticed a lot. And it is my font to give away.
