Description

The ascender stem on k in this master is not compensated ( lightened ) enough. The join is also not compensated enough. The t seems a little too light. The stem of r is too dark. The stems of p and d don't match. The left side of w is darker than the right which seems odd. The overall weight of w is also darker than v. letter v seems too light vs other letters as well. It might also be valuable to make s a little wider to let it seem similar in weight to the others. The base of g with the open terminal has a character that seems odd compared with the design in the other masters. The top of f has become too wide in this master and clashes with 'i'. The top of a is also uncharacteristically weak in this master vs the rest.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the 900 wght 144 opsz 0 grad 0 slnt master and compare the listed glyphs with the other masters. Review k, t, r, p, d, w, v, s, g, f, i, and a; done means their stems, joins, spacing, width, and weight are visually consistent with the intended design.
