The punctuation ( . ,

Very classy, well crafted, and very readable. Your lc "g" is a surprising success.

You're calling it a Bold (standard practice for a bitmap font with 2-pixel stems), but I think this is what works for on-screen reading.

Consider:
1. Calling it a Regular, and making Light and Bold (3-pixel) weights.
2. Extending the ascenders by a pixel: it will improve readability, and lighten the color a bit.

Really nice and well balanced!
Who needs anti-alias now?

I think that you can try "old fashioned" numerics to go with this letters, and 'cause it's a serif font, make precise kerning settings for all characters.

thanks very much for the responses. the weight of punctuation is definitely off, as is the kerning - something I have yet to fully grasp technically, especially with serifs...

Hrant, thanks, I agree with you regarding "bold" screen fonts seeming in reality more like regular width - Gregory's excellent kind family as an example.

I'll post the light version shortly... I was working on a three-pixel width but it looked too rediculous!

does this kerning look right or wrong?

The first inconsistencies I notice...

- lower 'ca'
- cap/lower 'Co'
- cap/lower 'Ex'

...are all a bit loose.

If you've got a few hours, use the handy Typophile
kern pair list to really fine-tune your kerning.
