The squished descenders are surprisingly not horrible. (They are horrible in some actual 80s fonts from 8-bit devices.) But I don't like the giant intrusive 'l' that looks like a ladle, it's got too much character.
Hey, this is my first font design, constructive criticism welcome! Thanks.

zx spectrum is very offended by your remarks, and would like to have a word with you :-) I can see that g with my eyes closed.
I'm unsure if "no descenders" provides increased clarity. For example, lowercase q is easy to recognize because your eyes are already drawn to it being one of few characters that descend. In the case of this font, you have a small uppercase Q as the lowercase q. This feels like it accomplishes the opposite of this stated benefit.
What's the benefit of no descenders?

Do more fonts. Do more things. I thank you.

Nowhere does it promise to increase clarity. In one place it says "modern clarity", which is in my opinion and many cases worse than non-modern clarity.

I started to write actionable suggestions about individual letters but realized it’s probably better to drop this link, which starts at how to draw an ”A” and continues with every letter of the alphabet. https://ohnotype.co/blog/ohno-type-school-a
