Please do the following when requesting a critique:
• Attach an image to your post, but keep the image under 700 pixels wide. Use whatever image hosting service you like or just throw the file on your web server.
• Attach a PDF proof of your design. A proof shows the characters at a large size and examples of type set at sizes relevant to the intended use of the design. Please keep the data in your file as vectors to minimize file size and allow people to zoom. A sample proof is attached to this message in Indesign CS6 and PDF formats.
• Introduce yourself so people know what kind of experience you have.
• Describe your typeface: intended use, historical references, etc.

Thanks to most of the (technical) advice I received, I was able to move forward faster than I would have had I been on my own; but, at the end of the day, the important thing to remember is that it’s still your typeface and you shouldn’t try to please everyone who offers a critique.
It’s always nice to have another set of eyes look at something and you can always disregard the advice of others. I think that it’s important to look at the people who are critiquing your work: what is the quality of their work? Are you listening to them because they are the only ones offering advice or because you actually value their skills?
I'll upload my photo when I'll have one. Now I haven't a possibility to create a good one.
Please don’t ask for advice on font pairings. Use reddit for that sort of discussion.
