In my opinion the descender height is too much on the g and j. also i don't like the y. and the s stands out too much with the changing line strength. I know it can't be done better that's why I didn't do any lower case letters using 2:1 height scaling. beside that it's a nice font.

Thanks saber. I agree with the g and j. They've been updated. I have to check out different options for the y. I kind of like having one character being quirky that doesn't quite fit in with the rest. Sort of reminds me of myself...?

Thanks Will. I worked on the extra bold version of Futuro first and I had Futura Display and Steile Futura in mind. By the time I cut it down to make the regular version work in the same gridspace, it became a deviation of a deviation of a deviation, but I still wanted the name to stick.
