Good job. The Q's tail could be a straight ascender below it, to fit with the overall style.

Some good ideas here. I think i agree with Yautja about that Q.
The V looks a bit lost ... one way to fool the eye into thinking it is the same height as the other letters is to lengthen it a bit so that it comes just below the base line. (The same can apply to most angled glyphs ... A, W etc).

Here's an idea of what I mean:

Forgot to say that I still give it a 10/10 :)

Just noticed I should've said descender... Anyway, the Q's tail could be better in the center, without going inside the circle. Also, the diagonal bar on Z could be in the middle, same with 2.

Thank you Yautja and p2pnut for the advice. I put in the two versions of the Q you suggested and changed the V (and the delta and lambda which had the same problem)

I don't quite understand what you meant about the Z and 2 but i put what i think you mean in the alternate for Z

The new Z is exactly what I meant :)
