Hi,
I am new to Typophile and was just hoping I could please get some feedback on my first attempt at designing a typeface.
Any advice/constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

I think it's quite good for a first attempt, but there are many more fonts like this. You should look up those fonts and make sure your font is clearly different.
A font like this should also work great at pixel level. Say 8 pnts without anti-aliasing. To make this happen you should stick to a grid of 8 by 8 in your font-editor.
It seems your strokes don't have the same thickness everywhere, e.g. the middle horizontal stroke in a and e is to thick. This might also be an optical illusion, but in that case you should also change it. You should also have another look at the @.
Good luck!

For a first attempt this is great. I definitely agree with 1996type that you should make sure that this typeface is clearly different than others in the genre.
Great first attempt though.

I think the 'K' and 'k' look out of place due to the sharp 45 degree angles that don't appear anywhere else. Maybe make them a little closer to the 'X' and 'x'.
Also the 'Z' and '7' look like they've had their corners sliced off, but the '3' and 'z' do not.

Weldon you have done a fantastic job. But you need to work hard for you work. Keep it up.
