After reading a few old posts about appropriate sans serifs to accompany classic serifs, I decided to make an attempt at designing a sans serif to accompany the Benedictine Pro face.

Thanks in advance for your attention. And have a nice summer ...
I like what you have here so far, but I'm not sure those numerals really harmonize with your letterforms. I do enjoy the bit of uncial shown here - it's a nice contrast to the staid stressed-sans. I like that the soft joins remind me of an eye exam :)

Cheers.
Nice idea! I think the {h} is too jarring, though. Maybe give it a descender instead? The {s} is top-heavy.
