Well,
minimalistic it is. But distinguishing uppercase I from 1 or lowercase l seems problematic to me. And the descender of lowercase g seems slightly unbalanced. Same goes for lowercase s, I guess. But I’m not an expert, so maybe it’s just me. Possibly you should wait for real professionals to provide more constructive critique.

Huh. It’s actually not too bad although it has a bit of that straight up “utilitarian” feel to it - kind of like the vibe
Myriad gives off. I’m interested in where this might lead! Next thing you’ll be doing another experiment by adding slab serifs... :-)

My new side project.
This was the result of another type experiment. I wondered how it would look if I took the underlying architecture of Mint and made a rounded, extended version. The forms are boxy and the junctures follow the same rules as Mint.
I wanted to reconcile ’flared’ with ’monoline’, so most of the stroke contrast from Mint has gone, leaving the
quite interesting ...

I like the relaxed feeling.
Some notes:
* the “a” counter seems a bit too small (I would make it more lite that of the “e”, in area if not in shape)
* “C” and “G” seems top-heavy/unbalanced
* “g”’s “tail” don’t seems to work properly
* “Q”’s tail could be better

Hate to complain, but your site is busted under Firefox. Works great with IE though. (At least on my system!)
Having said that, your font design is a clever idea, IMO.

Oh! Cute!
Difficult to get the whole idea from this image. Would you post a pdf with
character sets?

Nice. I think the OE needs more O in it.

Nice effort. I like it. But, with so many out there, wouldn’t be easier to modify one that’s already in the
public domain?

Looks really nice! Good work!
There are a few things I think I’d correct — I’m not an expert by any means so take my words as pointers and not facts... :)
I think you need to do a slight bit of optical correction. Although this is a monoline design, the eye sees vertical and horizontal strokes differently, which means you need to compensate in the design to make it look optically monoline. I’...

ah.. pretty sure that’s just Calibri Bold which is the one of the default fonts shipped with
Microsoft Office 2007 (and possibly windows vista).. A quick check at myfonts.com’s What the Font would possibly confirm this...
