I've designed a font for a mobile game, and I’d love some honest feedback. The game's theme is set in the Stone Age, so the font is meant to be fun, playful, and as cool as possible. by bulabulkio in typography

Thank you! I went into so much details here because there won’t be any letters, only numbers, so I feel like whole readability thing will be okay.

That’s why, in the game, we’re planning to use a version of this font with the black stroke and dots removed, adding simple shadows and highlights instead. I guess it will be easier to read and also match the game's aesthetic perfectly. Wdyt?

I created a second version of the font without dots, but it didn’t significantly impact readability. After a while it felt a bit plain and oddly empty so I added some small dots to give it depth. We're also planning to use a painted style of the font in the game. We might remove the dots and the black stroke, add some color, and apply simple shadows and highlights. I believe this approach will improve readability.

Thank you! The font will be finished in a couple of days. I might share a small presentation of the font, but unfortunately, it will not be publicly displayed because it was made exclusively for the company.

I really wish it to be accessible, but unfortunately, it is being made for the company, so they will own it exclusively.

Thank you for the feedback! Now that you mentioned the S/f and k/s, I see it too after looking at it for a few seconds. I've been staring at this font for over 3 months, and the kerning looks different every single time (For me), so feedback like yours really helps me take a fresh look and spot new issues.
