    KRk legs too heavy. Too much contrast in VW. T too light at the top, maybe e crossbar too. f hood is distracting. r might look too “bent”. Should q top right be more like g’s? $ is too dark. I don’t get the short i and j. Untapered F stem looks out of place. 
    The concave and convex sides mean some strings will lock together (all the lowercase in “Theme Song”) but some will do the opposite (middle of “Full”).

    Fun!

    I would love to see more weight in the thick part of the round bowls of P and R, and (although not so much) on the sides of O and Q.

    I think slightly longer ascenders/descenders might be nice.
