I wouldn't really worry, as my intention is not to make a tribute to
Death Note as a whole so much as to make a subtle reference to the
character "L Lawliet"'s technical prowess and ethos. I figure the E
would be the most appropriate for various reasons pertaining to the
lore. Interestingly, I discovered that the letter "N" they used to
represent Near doesn't match the Cloister Black font they said they
used, but rather matches exactly another font made by the same author
a font with a much more clearly defined letter "E" [see link bellow],
which I find appropriate since it represents a new font to represent a
new generation.

What do y'all think of this letter E? Much more clear?
