In reply to Oswald - Google Webfont:
Is the premise of the paper that quality is a poor predictor of popularity? ;-)
Real quick:
- The narrowness makes it suitable only for display and very short text. In that context, the vertical proportions are decent. However the grid-conscious chunkiness is more attuned to smaller sizes. Basically: narrowness and grid-conscious outlines are rarely rational partners.
- In some sizes the descenders are touching the ascenders of the subsequent line.
- The spacing needs work; look at "oxi" and "brew". If anybody has a budget for respacing it you know who to call. :-)
- The widths of the capitals are too divergent, especially for this style of type.
- The "g" and "s" are out of character.
BTW in the description it says "Updated again in September 2012 based on many users' feedback". Did you show it here? If not, where did you get your feedback?
