In reply to Another first: Yet-to-name geometric sans-serif project.:
It was more excentric when I started. With a kind of broken-script look.
That sounds tantalizing actually.
personally don't like the Koch one too much.
This is a typical reaction. It was actually my own reaction many years ago - but slowly I realized it has an important role to play under certain circumstances. And when Nina Stössinger started developing Ernestine* she balked at the idea** when I suggested it. But guess what Ernestine's "g" ended up looking like... :-)

Could anyone tell me if this behavior is "normal" or how to correct it?
There's something called "hinting", which is a pain but is required for good onscreen rendering.
A typographically good-looking word that evokes the picture of a beautfiul and loving woman in a lab coat.
Nice. Reminds me of a very cool song:

OK, what about "Audit me baby"? :->
Or maybe "Georgina".
Lastly, concerning "non-traditional" Italics:
I guess my stance is more relevant to serif fonts, where I value the slanted-Roman concept (albeit with more sensitivity than is typical) much more than most; in sans designs it's harder to stand apart without being too unorthodox. So I'm not sure specifically what to recommend... Just follow your own original logic instead of repeating bad precedents.
