Dear Everybody Who Loves Font,
This is my first - quite serious - attempt to draw a font family.
Basic concept was/is to draw a Thin and Black weights and blend
and carefully review all the weights in between.
Now I like this - and would be glad to have any critique.
Thanks!
B.
P.S.: Numerals look still something ugly for me - I'm working on it.
P.S.2.: Italic is mainly oblique for now - except 'f' and 'f-ligas' - but
a few glyphs are planned to be redrawn.

Hm... It this so uninteresting? :)

Here are a few observations:
ae and OE seem clogged in the middle.
The curly-legged R variant seems out of place.
5 looks bottom heavy.
oslash and Oslash need some adjustment for the optical illusion at the intersections.
@ is interesting!
bottom terminal of e might get too thin in some weights.
is there a different in those italic Ms?

Thank you!
Already dropped the curly-leg R for the same reason
and yeah, it is mistyped, the M...
Small caps Ms show the real variants...

please replace your obliques with true italics as soon as you can... :|
