Hey Nick --

My only suggestion would be to consider this as the first step on a longer journey. What about this makes it superior to some grunge font from the '90s? Focus on that to take it to the next level.

there's a Marylin-Mansonesque visage
in the negative space of the 'f'.
And in the F, is that Charles Manson?

Nick, perhaps if you tell us your thoughts on the face,
we could give you more fine-tuned feedback.

Didn't David Carson do a font similar to this?

It is pretty cool being what it is -a glue font.
