The page itself is typeset in the font: a nice way to see it in action. The only really jarring idiosyncrasy for me is the backwards slash on the zero, instead of a forward slash. I wonder if there's a specific legibility argument for that, or whether one could just reflect the 0 to fix it without losing anything.
