An 11-odd-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 22/21 9/8 33/28 9/7 4/3 11/8 3/2 11/7 12/7 99/56 11/6 2/1, with steps of 22/21 189/176 22/21 12/11 28/27 33/32 12/11 22/21 12/11 33/32 28/27 12/11. Since the base hexany is fairly close to a whole tone scale, this works well to create a 12 note scale where no note is smaller than a quartertone or larger than 3/4 of a tone. 8 of the notes have perfect fifths above them, while a 9th has a still usable one that is sharp by 896/891 and all are mapped to 7 steps above their roots, making it easy to play chords in despite the many xenharmonic intervals.
