concave sides

Well, the concaveness is somewhat pronounced, in particular when compared  
with the examples Gould gives.  At this degree, it is close to impossible  
to give a balanced, symmetric appearance where all sides appear equally  
curved.  Part of the reason is the skewed fill-in.  I think that the inner  
boundary lines should have proportionally less curvature based on their  
smaller distance to the center, and it should be hard to tell whether they  
are straight or still slightly curved (I think at the current point of  
time, they are straight and that makes the fill-in "bars" be slightly  
wonky).

I'd give the whole a bit less concavity: like kerning, it should just give  
a slightly more elegant overall effect without drawing attention to the  
reason.  Yes, it is slightly frustrating to put effort into something which  
is barely discoverable.

But that's font design.  Anything that stands out is too much.
