How did you know!? All right, I set it as a favorite, too (of course!)…

I regret I cannot comment too much on this almost valid US-ASCII font. I mean:
• While it is done in 2 x-height (a little like my favorite design as 3x3, OK and thank you!), I stopped checking meticulously at the third character (out of 94), because of its -obvious?- flaws:
· !='. (as proportional, which is a better style, esp. for the sake of any pixel font compression)
· "='' (monospace hack, again – the same old story and flaw from the 1960s…)
· #=I (this made me leave!)
• Several characters don't meet their expected shape (I mean, in comparison with the rest of the set), for instance:
· "i" (just a question: do you really think the dot above is an essential element at this scale? Tip: I never thought so…)
· "lt" (same kind of interrogation: what is the main or most important element? you did not answer: “the vertical bar”…)

This said, many nice solutions of yours (e.g. your coherent set of numerics),
but I still think you didn't check a lot, if not at all, this font in practice.
→ So, another specialized hint: just write the sample text in lines, and multiply them by changing only one alternate candidate glyph (it's easy like that!).
This way, you'll spot that -another example- your lowercase looks like a script "o" (and is bolder than the latter, which is abnormal, at least it's less legible than the opposite – and I still don't know why I write such a tautological commonsense).

I'll try and keep into account your 'candidates' all the same (as alternates in the lists of my spreadsheet doc, e.g. your deceptive "R"-alike "&")…
