Ultra slick and contemporary. My only beef would be the M,W and numbers (I like them all on one level), but that's just my personal taste. My vote gives it a well earned and very cool 10/10. Excellent work.
I like the M and W just fine, but I agree about the numbers. I think they are great in and of themselves, but within the set they may need some tweaking. Possibly, make the 0, 1, and 2 and tiny bit taller and make the rest a bit shorter?

Concerning the numbers I agree with you. That's exactly the problem I have. Maby it's better to replace the lowercase in uppercase numbers.
It seems I was the only one that liked the old style numerals!
The new lining ones are good too, but less distinctive. Maybe you could've tried an hybrid version (like Georgia). You could also put the former ones somewhere as alternates.
I did like the old style numerals, I just thought they looked a little "off" compared to the rest of the set. Maybe you could put them back in as alternates?
Have you thought of having the base lines of the horizontal lined characters, like E,B,I,L,i,f,l,r,z etc slightly above the base line, or the other letters slightly below the base line?
Also you could adjust the x-height of those with mid and top horizontal straight lines, like E,F,i,z, etc. At the moment the fully curved letters like c,o etc look like they're floating above the base line. I think they may look better if they were increased in depth and height by one brick either way, depending on the glyph.

And a Merry Christmas to you too :)
