Here is my new geometric sans serif typeface. It is called "Smallstep".
I am posting it to see what do you think about it, so feel free to share your opinion with me and the rest of the forum viewers.

well, there is nothing wrong with that if you use geometry as a fondation for your face.
in my opinion you have to make some compromises to make it more interesting, legible and sexy, after all.
just sticking to the geometry for the sake of it wont make your face more interesting.
but then, maybe it is just me. :)
It might just be me, but there's something awkward and unstable about the whole font. A few things I'm noticing:
1. /s/ looks like it's leaning to the left
2. /e/ looks like it's leaning to the right when next to certain letters
3. /t/ leaning to the right
4. terminals of several letters appear too wide and "chunky" (maybe that's what you're going for though)
5. Shoulders of /n/ and /m/ appear to slope too sharply
I'm no type designer, so take my advice with a grain of salt, unless some more credible reinforcement comes along.
Have a look at this post, you may find it very useful
