there are some interesting, idiosyncratic things going on here. i like the high contrast, the quirky treatment of ascenders and descenders, and the double-slit counters.
some things to think about: consistency in letterform elements, use of diagonals, character size, etc., keeping the numbers and letters unified with each other. which characters work best for you? why? which ones are less successful? why?
My favorite letters are the a,b,g,p,q, and y - I think they are nicely consistent. my least favorite are the k, x, and z - the k feels awkward to me (it was a hard puzzle to solve with the parameters I put on myself), as does the z, and the x looks too much like an existing typeface, and sticks out from the rest of the alphabet.
I like the numbers, but I think that they are not consistent enough either. I'm a big fan of the 8 and the 5.
nice work nora!
