Hello,

Here's my first attempt to font design. I am an architect,
and letters are constructed, same round parts and same corners mixed.
Set of capitals only. I hope it can work as a title text for a magazine.

What do you think about the lack of the stroke contrast at Z & S glyphs?
Numbers are a little bit lower than letters, but now I am not sure about that decision (?)
2, 3, 5, 7 are also narrow and I like it, but maybe I should try to match it with the rest ?
7 probably isn't balanced but I can't find better angle now,
its hard to play with S stroke and avoid kinks ughhh

thank you

(sample 2 - with no final spacing)

For the sake of clarity, I would flop the vertical stroke of K so that it is straight on the outside.
Pinching Z in the middle seems like a good idea. S would not hold up to that, but as it is, it obviously doesn't belong.
Really, all the C, G, S terminals may best be changed to something different. Perhaps this is where you bring in a cue from the numerals.
I would expect something more interesting from the Q tail, but I should note for full disclosure that I find myself saying that to a lot of people.

To me, the numbers seem to be from a different typeface.
Also, I'm not convinced by the sharp cuts (on |E|, etc.).

Thank you both for sharing opinion, its good to hear your doubts. Probably I'll change terminals to rounded although I am afraid of blob fonts. Previously I tried to use my basic shape for numerals but it wasn't successful so I decided to match only other attributes and make them less flourished.
I'll post the changes soon.
