I (with consultation with Angelica) did update - version 2

Why don't you put it in the 'Critique' board?

Sorry, the post can be moved?

Yes, you can use the Edit link in the top right corner.

Looks good to me. The only letter that doesn't seem to fit is the |G|.
I like how some of the serifs disappear in the bold face to avoid collisions.

@Catharsis - Thanks
one mistake is fixed - added serifs in cyrillic "Ж" and "к" of regular face.

lc ve?
Polish letters need some work (IMO): acutes to the right, slash (Łł) ought to be steeper and I don't like ogoneks attached to the end of serif (they are very fragile and tend to break when used ;).

@JanekZ - You criticize the old version )))
I will take note of your remark in the work

Sorry, too much links...

It's always nice to let a diacritic affect the base letter, in a meaningful way.
Here's the Aogonek from Ernestine:

Hmm, I thought "Attaching ogonek to the outer part of the base serif are very incorrect!" :-/

Huh, I thought I remembered Adam liking Ernestine's (but I could be wrong). In a way the outside serif is sort of being replaced by the beginning of the ogonek, so maybe that's why it's OK? Plus I think in a design with hefty serifs completely dumping the left half (like in some of those "approved" examples) would be a bit much.

The G definitely needs a horizontal crossbar. To compensate, it could have a base constructed like the base of a,d,u.

serifs of "x" regular does not look strange?

Maybe a little... The idea is sound; I think all it needs is to shorten the inside top right serif. But making it match the bold would be a safe change if you want to do that.
