i feel like this is a good argument if you could show some evidence that another font designer put any thought beyond mere aesthetics in thaer decision making.

What i would like to see from someone like you, that criticises the work on display, in this instance, would be:

    -what font do you currently use?
    -what evidence do you have that it was 'designed by a font designer'?
    -what evidence do you have that such and such designer made decisions that are more accurate than the ones made here and for what reasons?
    -is there a write up by said designer that describes those decisions and possible alternatives and reasons for doing one while avoiding another?  .. this is my issue with the post, i feel it is too sparse on self addressed argument ..

Fonts often take months, if not years to design.

There are blogs dedicated to the process that help you learn about the process and decisions being made.
