Oh, I didn't ask before, but I meant to: feedback is appreciated. This is my first (beginning of a) font and I've obviously got a ton to learn. Your ideas/replies would be helpful.

Pretty cool for a first try. It reminds me a little of Trac by T-26.
At first glance, the lowercase a is the most clunky looking. s, z, x and k could use some work as well. Be happy to give you more detailed feedback if you want to shoot me a copy.

I know it would probably defeat the purpose of your dimensions, but I feel like it would look much better if the x-height was closer to 2/3 the cap-height. Still, pretty cool and not bad for a first try! (I have a few "first tries" that I lack the patience to finesse in FontLab)

ukit: Trak? http://www.t26.com/fonts/300-Tra…
I don't see the similarity, however it DOES look eerily similar to T.26's logo now that you mention it. Thanks for pointing this site to my attention.When you say that the "a" looks clunky, are you looking at the second screenshot pasted above? Because that one was much more refined than the first one.
ian: Good point. I could give it a try to see how it looks. Do you think it would increase legibility to have a taller x-height?
