The roman (not italic or script, though) “g” is horrible and doesn't fit with the other letters that would normally sit their main body on the baseline but also have a descender. Why is its upper portion raised and squashed, and it's tail so misshapen?

I cannot look at text in this font without the feeling that every “g” is reaching out from the screen and slapping me in the eye.



It’s a bit odd but doesn’t bother me too much. The totally different italicized “a” really throws me off and looks like an “o” to my blurry pre-coffee morning eyes.


It's very funny to me how the 99€ Plus version and 199€ Pro version advertise an alternate g as a selling feature.
