Pros

Cons
Con Very narrow
Con No bold-italic style
Monoid doesn't offer a style that is both bold and italic.
Con Too thin
He needs to add variants of thickness and then I think he would have a sellar product. You have to set your font size extremely high on hi-res displays to look the way I think he wishes it to be, but then the font is too large.
Con Looks a bit inconsistent, especially italics
Lowercase k looks weird.
