Since working on Aubaine and New Dutch Sans (which are still not finished), I've had some new ideas. Eastburgh is one of them. Please comment!

It's very distinctive. I'm getting an Emigre vibe from some of it. I don't get the straight /J/. If you cut the serif off the right side, sure, but... It that a regional convention somewhere? I think the /j/ works alright, though it's still a bit strange.
The color seems consistent, except that /M/N/W/ appear a little bit heavy in text (just assuming on the W since I couldn't find any in the test paragraphs.
I find double /f/s to be distracting in text (on page 4, my eye is drawn straight to "souffle" and "effet"). Maybe you should make it a ligature with one of them on the baseline. Having single /f/s go to the descender line is fine.
The last little thing I see is that /%/ looks light.
It looks great though, overall. I could definitely see using it.
Thanks Andrej and Tristan! Nice to get positive feedback!
Perhaps not to everybody's taste, but hey, you can't please them all!
There's no convention on /J/, it's just me ;-) Although it sticks out, it sticks out if you know what I mean. Not sure I want to change that.
I'll take another look at /M/N/V/W/, lighten them up a bit (and put them in some text).
I'll also make a ligture for ff, I've already got some ideas. /%/ and other less used glyphs like it need some more attention anyway.
Thanks again, I'll update soon.
