^ Maybe if you thickened the curves on the main bowl of 'g', it would help it to stand out against its descender loop. Just a thought anyway, this is looking fantastic. Like Dan said, the whole thing flows really nicely.
Ah, yes. Good call about the consistent bowls. Also, do you think the "e" in the g's descender was made more apparent because it is right next to the e in "type"?
Not really. It's the size and stroke thickness that stands out. The fact it loops back to connect with the @ and thus forming an "e" shape is secondary.

Figured I should get back to drawing lettering since I changed my Twitter username to @drawingtype.

Curves and flow of the letters is great. Characters have real harmony. Just one concern with the loop on the "g", ... it may appear to be a large "e".

Yeah, I was fighting with that one for a while. When I tried to keep the g above the flourish on the e, it felt a bit crammed.

@Claire Makes a good point about the "g". It's so thin, it's almost not there. Might need the same bowl shapes as on the "d" and "a".
