I can read it without problems, love the S... But when I look at the "wi" without the stroke of the S, it could be read as "un"(not that I do, but there's sure ppl who would), not sure if that is an issue since the S is always there... Just make the "i" a bit more readable if that is the case.
It's funny, at a smaller size, I was reading it as "Surpe" for a minute, but at the full 400x300, the S-i ligature was a bit more clear. I like Michael's suggestion of thinning the w-i connection to make it look less like an "r". All the forms are sure pretty, though. :)

Working on some script exploration for this guy. I'll be coming back to the "&" a bit later on...
Q: Anyone having issues with the 'i' read? I've just been been staring at the thing for too long...

Killer! It reads fine but might be cool to add a lil notch to imply a dot : ) http://goo.gl/fq2ah

I think it reads just fine. My thought was to perhaps create a "blob" as if ink pooled a little more for the dot in the i.

The 'i' is perfectly readable, but Daniel's comments are correct – I'd reduce the width of the link between the 'w' & 'i' to lessen the effect.

@Steve / Jed - Emphasis on the terminal is usually my first inclination as well. I'll play with that, and see if we can resolve it a bit further.
@Daniel - Thanks bud. Those are essentially my concerns as well. I figure if I can see it, someone else is probably going to see it as well.
@Michael - Appreciate the suggestion.
@Emir - Ha! Classic comment.
@Neil / Joe / Nemanja / Dan / Noptar / Stelian / Marcelo / Ivan / Rudy / Ryan - Greatly appreciated guys!

Nope, no issues here with the readability. All those ligatures are sexy too. Nice job, Michael!

Reads beautifully. I love the weight of it. Fatter than most might attempt. Great work.
