Sorry Warp, wrong image.

IMO that looks much better than the original.

Go right ahead.
I don't know if what you say is the defining rule. I consider it more of an art
than a science.
You might try doing a CSG on each individual blocks rather than a CSG on all
blocks at once. The advantage being that a CSG on all five blocks would put
more constraints on the shapes.
That is I could've probably obtained a shadow of a "G" without using a CSG
intersection on the letter "G" itself, but rather had the shadow be a
combination of 5 different shadows. Will try to upload an example when able.

The key was keeping the outer radius of curvature of the corner curves to
no more than the width of a straight line. This meant asymmetrical curves
for the R and W, but I think they're better-looking for it. (Or is that
"less clumsy-looking"?)

The font looks nicer, too.

I would like to continue with this exercise. A couple of questions:
1) In this last image, did you use a font file or design your own letters using
CSG?
2) How would I go about creating a block for the letters S,O and I? Is it
possible?

I started a thread at WhatTheFont to see if an actual font like this has been
created. If not, then I will create it myself.

I'm working on a complete font based on the letters you created. I've got
capital A-Z. Not sure if I'm going to stop there or continue with the lower
case, numbers, punctuation, etc..

The Metro Gothic Fat font also looks similar.

It would be tricky to use in a lot of cases, since there are often
little bits that extend beyond the 1x1 unit box.

Accents on uppercase characters are not little
things..."ÀÂÄÃÈÉÊËÎÏĨÔÖÕÛÜŨŶŸÑ" (only those that I can easily
type)
Then, there is the cedil that extend under. "Çç"
Then, there are several lowercase characters that also extend down. "gjpqy"
