- Small swash on S is of an odd curvature, not circular like the rest of the piece - breaks consistency.
- End cap of the P's crossbar may look better fully connected to the O. Right now it's not connected, but not on its own. Instead of looking intentional, it comes off as a mistake.
- A would be better suited in the same style of the remaining letters or of another font. I understand contrast in type, but it's not different enough from the rest. Same weight, also sans-serif. Breaths the rhythm of the piece.
@Kyle - Cheers, appreciate the feedback. Still a work in progress, so some things will definitely be shifting before all's said & done. RE the 'A' > hear what you're saying, but it's the NYC 'A train' symbol (just slightly bolder), and on a pure conceptual basis it might be there to stay. Once I get everything nailed up together, it might make more sense in context.

Looks great.
Feel free to ignore, but some things to consider.
