Very well balanced, I like it!

I would only consider adding a serif to the numeral "5", and rethink a couple of secondary glyphs (e.g. the "?" looks too thin, the "@" too small, the "&" a little awkward). Anyway they are just minor details.

P.S. The sample image you post when sharing your fonts are beautifully designed: try to use the GIF or PNG format instead of JPG, because the JPG compression generates too many artifacts along the letter edge.

@Em42 : Yes... you´re right...forgot the serif on "5" and have to rethink some glyphs... It will be redo in next days... ;)
Thanks for your comments...I´ve changed the imege to gif, now it has no artifacts

OK, changed the "@", "&" and "?"...but on "5"...I think it works better without "serif" and match better with the other numbers...

Yup. One of the best Fontstruct slabs, for sure.
@em42: great tip on using .png or gif instead of jpeg. I was wondering why some samplers looked better than others.
