Love the lowercase, hate the uppercase. Look at what they did to my boy B.

I really love the numbers, though.

I've discovered that it's a horrible screen font, though: far too spindly to be easily readable. I still use it, but I have to make it larger than usual and bold, and it's still a little hard to make out sometimes.

Oh, what we sacrifice for aesthetics.

0 seems a bit too indistinguishable from O, but otherwise I'm also a big fan of the numbers.

I think the font heavily reuses glyphs. 0 probably literally is the same glyph as O. I'm positive 9 is just a rotated 6 (I guess that's pretty common, although it's really obvious in Poiret).

I love Century Gothic and most of Futura, though I'm not sure how I feel about Futura's lowercase j.

Gets the job done, with minimal effort.
