    rafalski - I'm not a huge fan of pixel fonts. Due to the increasing resolution of displays and improved hinting techniques, they are just about to become irrelevant.

    That said, your face has a lot of character for a 10-11 pixel font. What's the goal? If you expect it to be used for longer texts you may need to change some shapes like the 'e' and 'a' to make the bowl smaller/counter more even. Generally pixel fonts with 2 pixel stem widths are far more readable than those with 1. Try your hand at a bold weight.

    I think the A, Y, V, Z are just fine. Maybe V could be wider. Try a larger bowl on the cap P.
