This font looks radically different on my two monitors, being significantly worse on my 'standard' DPI monitor compared to my other high DPI monitor.

On my main, 1x monitor, the lowercase i has an anti-aliased "half pixel" at the bottom that extends past the baseline. A few other characters have this, but it's especially noticable on the lowcase i.

The font could definitely use some technical tweaking for issues like that -- the kerning on "qu" also stands out as a problem.

It looks like this is the author's first attempt at making a font, though, and by that standard it's pretty good!

Yes that "qu" kerning is a problem indeed, glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

There are also some small technical typesetting issues in the samples, for example, by using straight quotes instead of true quotation marks in "Inclusive Feature 04".

But yes if it's her first attempt then it's quite good and I hope that with some tweaks and improvements, it will be a really good font!
