Lower case "s" top seems a bit dark and compressed (like it got squooshed by a weight falling on its head). The LC "t" is interesting but perhaps its top is a bit too thin - the left crossbar seems to interact with the curve up to the terminal in a not so nice way - too abrupt perhaps? Maybe ease up on it by lowering the "t" ascender? Overall feel of the typeface is nice enough - it feels like a "Victorian-styled" Courier. Perhaps the comma tail could be extended just a bit more as right now it can be easily mistaken for a period.
Hope this helps, take with a grain of salt, and ultimately you will need to decide what works best with what you envision for this typeface.
Bemerx25 and Riccard0, thatnks very much for your feedback. I'm inclined to agree with all your thoughts and have made some modifications accordingly. I've attached a revised speciment sheet (Cherrittsample2.pdf) above. I've also added in a few more ligatures.
Bemerx25-I particularly like the idea of Cherritt as a 'Victorian Courier'. Thanks again to both of you for your feedback!
I like the idea behind this, but find the same problem with the lc t as Bemerx25. I also find that arcing problem in the bottom section of the numeral 2. Also, the p and the q don't seem to work. It may be that the curve of the descender is too weak. I'd agree about the lc s and find the ss glyph too perfunctory, as if you have tried to compromise between too much of a difference in size and no difference whatsoever.
Finally, I find the exclamation mark really jumps from the different text samples because it is very, very heavy.
That said, I'd love to see the next generation[s].
