In this sample the Z and X seem a bit too heavy. Also the top of T and the tops and bottoms of rounded shapes such as O Q 2 3 S P Z

Admittedly in a PDF when seen at 100% size the problems seem to mostly go away

Research direction

Review the attached sample images and compare the affected glyphs: Z, X, T, O, Q, 2, 3, S, and P. Determine whether their apparent heaviness persists at the reported viewing sizes; the work is done when the affected shapes no longer appear disproportionately heavy without introducing new inconsistencies.
